PRP Treatment in San Antonio, TX
PRP therapy may suit adults with ongoing tendon or joint pain, thinning hair, or skin texture concerns who prefer an option made from their own blood. Your provider looks at the cause and your health first, then explains whether PRP fits.

What is PRP Treatment?
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) treatment is a cutting-edge medical procedure that utilizes the body’s own platelets to accelerate healing and rejuvenation. PRP is derived from a small sample of the patient’s blood, which is processed to concentrate the platelets.
At Evolve Medical Group, we offer PRP treatments to enhance beauty and wellbeing, leveraging the body’s natural healing abilities for optimal results.
What Are the Benefits of PRP Treatment?
PRP treatment offers a multitude of benefits, making it a popular choice for those seeking non-surgical aesthetic and wellness enhancements. Here are some of the key benefits:
Natural Healing
PRP uses the body’s own platelets, reducing the risk of allergic reactions and ensuring a natural healing process.
Minimally Invasive
The procedure involves minimal discomfort and downtime, allowing patients to return to their daily activities quickly.
Versatile Applications
PRP can be used for various treatments, including skin rejuvenation, hair restoration, and joint pain relief.
Enhanced Skin Texture and Tone

What to expect
Consultation
Your provider asks about your symptoms, health history, medications and goals, and looks closely at the area you want treated.
Testing, if needed
Blood work or imaging may be suggested when it would change the plan, such as checking your blood counts or looking inside a joint.
Your plan, if appropriate
If PRP fits, your provider explains how it would be prepared and given for your goal, what to avoid beforehand, and what other care may help alongside it.
Follow-up
Follow-up visits check how the area is responding, so your provider can adjust the plan or suggest a different approach.
Safety and side effects
PRP has known side effects your provider will review with you. Soreness, swelling, bruising and stiffness where the injection goes in can occur and usually ease with time. Less common risks include infection, bleeding, and irritation of nearby nerves or tissue. Some people notice a short flare of pain after a joint or tendon injection.
Research on PRP is growing, and results vary by condition and by person. Tell your provider about blood thinners, anti-inflammatory medicines and any bleeding problems. Your provider reviews risks, benefits and alternatives with you.
FAQ
Questions, answered.
Your provider will answer anything else at your consultation.
How much does it cost?
Cost depends on the plan your provider recommends, including the area being treated and how your treatment is set up. You can ask for pricing at your consultation, so you have the full picture before you decide whether PRP is the right next step for you.
What if I’m not a candidate?
Your provider explains why and talks through other options. Depending on the cause, these may include physical therapy, activity changes, a different injection, other skin or hair treatments, or a referral. Not being a candidate for PRP does not mean nothing can help, and the evaluation itself can clarify what is going on.
Does PRP hurt?
You may feel a needle stick for the blood draw, then pressure or aching during the injection. Joints and tendons can feel sore for a short time afterward, and scalp or skin treatments can feel tender. Ask your provider how discomfort is managed for your treatment area, since the approach can differ from one site to another.
Can I take ibuprofen or blood thinners around PRP?
Ask your provider before your treatment. Anti-inflammatory pain relievers such as ibuprofen can affect how platelets work, so you may be asked to pause them around treatment. Blood thinners can raise the chance of bruising and bleeding. Never pause a prescribed blood thinner on your own; check first with the clinician who prescribed it.
Can I have PRP if I’m pregnant or breastfeeding?
Tell your provider if you are pregnant, trying to conceive or breastfeeding. Elective treatments such as PRP are usually postponed during pregnancy and breastfeeding, especially for cosmetic or hair goals. Your provider can talk through timing and other ways to manage your concern in the meantime.
