Preparing for Your Platelet-rich-plasma Appointment
Treatment Safety & Local Regulations
Generally low-risk since it uses your own blood, which reduces allergic reactions. ([turn0search11][turn0search25])Possible injection risks include temporary soreness, redness, swelling, bruising or rare infection. ([turn0search22][turn0search25])Poor injection technique can cause injury to vessels or nerves. ([turn0search7])
Many describe mild discomfort or soreness rather than sharp pain; some clinics use topical anaesthetic to ease the experience.
The FDA has approved PRP for limited indications (like bone graft enhancement) but not widely for aesthetic hair or skin uses. ([turn0search11])
Local regulatory authority:
- Healthcare Improvement Scotland (HIS) for independent clinics
- General Medical Council (GMC) for doctors
- Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) for nurses
Private insurance usage locally:
- Limited for cosmetic surgery unless medically indicated (e.g., skin cancer excision)
- Most breast augmentation and injectables self-funded
