PRP Therapy in Istanbul
Platelet-rich plasma prepared from your own blood, delivered on its own or layered onto a stem cell protocol — for joints, tendons, scalp, skin and intimate wellness treatments such as the P-Shot.
Treatment Overview
Understanding PRP Therapy
This page is designed to help patients understand what prp therapy is, how it is typically discussed in regenerative medicine, and which kinds of cases often lead people to explore it further. The goal is not to make exaggerated promises, but to create a clearer and more useful starting point before a real case review.

Overview
What Is PRP Therapy?
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is produced by drawing a small volume of your own blood, concentrating the platelets in a closed centrifuge system, and injecting that concentrate into the tissue being treated. Because the material comes from you, there is no compatibility question and no donor product involved.
Many international patients arriving in Istanbul ask whether stem cell and PRP injections can be combined. In most orthopedic and aesthetic protocols they can: UC-MSCs provide the regenerative signalling and PRP contributes a dense growth-factor environment for those cells to work in.
PRP is also the basis of the treatment patients search for as the P-Shot, a targeted platelet-rich plasma injection used in intimate wellness and erectile dysfunction protocols, and it is routinely used in scalp treatments for hair thinning.
How It Works
The Science, Clearly Explained
The discussion around prp therapy is grounded in regenerative medicine, biological signaling, and case-specific treatment planning. The exact relevance of this pathway depends on the diagnosis, the treatment goals, the route of administration, and the broader clinical picture.
- Autologous blood draw and closed-system centrifugation to concentrate platelets
- Growth factors including PDGF, TGF-β and VEGF are released at the injection site
- Ultrasound or fluoroscopy guidance for joint, tendon and spinal targets
- Frequently combined with UC-MSC injection so cells act in a growth-factor-rich environment
- Scalp, facial, and intimate wellness protocols use specific injection depths and patterns
Candidacy
Who Commonly Explores This Treatment?
Good candidacy assessment is always case-specific. The most useful next step is usually to review diagnosis, medical history, reports, imaging, current medications, and treatment goals before deciding whether this pathway makes sense to explore further.
- Joint, tendon or soft-tissue pain where a regenerative option is being explored
- Early hair thinning or scalp density concerns
- Skin quality goals where an autologous option is preferred
- Erectile dysfunction or intimate wellness protocols where the P-Shot is being considered
- Patients who prefer to start with their own biological material before considering cell therapy
Realistic Outcomes
What Patients Often Hope to Improve
Regenerative medicine should be discussed honestly. Outcomes vary from patient to patient, and no ethical treatment conversation should promise guaranteed results. What matters most is whether this pathway is relevant to the case and whether expectations are being set clearly from the start.
- Pain and function changes in joints and tendons typically assessed at 6–12 weeks
- Hair density changes usually judged after a course of 3–4 scalp sessions
- Skin texture and tone improvements developing over 4–12 weeks
- Often used as a maintenance layer between stem cell protocols
- Results vary; PRP supports the tissue environment rather than replacing damaged structures

Send your diagnosis, recent reports, imaging, and current medications. Our Istanbul medical team replies within one business day with a clear, personalized assessment — no obligation.
- Step02
Personalized Protocol
If you are a candidate, our specialists design your treatment plan: cell or therapy type, dose, route of administration, schedule, and supportive care — built around your case, not a template.
- Step03
Arrival & Welcome
We arrange your airport pickup, premium accommodation near the clinic, and a calm pre-treatment consultation. Most international patients arrive one day before treatment so they can rest, settle in, and meet the medical team.

After you return home, we track your progress remotely at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months — adjusting supportive guidance as your body responds and staying available whenever you have a question.
FAQ
PRP Therapy — Frequently Asked Questions
Do you do stem cell and PRP injections in Istanbul in the same visit?
Yes. Combining an image-guided UC-MSC injection with PRP in the same session is a common orthopedic protocol at our Istanbul clinic, and the two are quoted separately so you can see exactly what each part costs.
Do you offer the P-Shot in Turkey?
Platelet-rich plasma protocols for intimate wellness and erectile dysfunction — commonly searched as the P-Shot — are available and are reviewed case by case, usually alongside the wider erectile dysfunction assessment rather than as a standalone product.
Is PRP better than stem cell therapy?
They are different tools. PRP delivers concentrated growth factors from your own blood and is well suited to localised tissue support and maintenance. UC-MSC therapy delivers living cells with a broader and longer signalling profile. For many orthopedic cases the strongest plan uses both.
How many PRP sessions are usually needed?
Joint and tendon protocols often use one to three sessions; scalp protocols are typically a course of three to four spaced several weeks apart. The plan is set during your case review, not sold as a fixed package.
How do I know if I am a candidate for this treatment in Istanbul?
Candidacy is reviewed case by case. After you send your diagnosis, recent reports, imaging, and current medications, our Istanbul medical team will tell you honestly whether this regenerative pathway is appropriate for you — and what realistic outcomes might look like.
How long do international patients usually stay in Istanbul?
Most international patients stay 3–4 days in Istanbul: one day to arrive and rest, 1–2 focused treatment days at our clinic, and a final day for monitoring before flying home. We help coordinate flights, accommodation near the clinic, and translator support so the trip feels organized and calm.
Is this treatment safe?
Mesenchymal stem cell and exosome therapies have a well-documented safety profile in published clinical literature when performed correctly. At our Istanbul clinic, every protocol uses GMP-aligned cells, sterile technique, and qualified medical specialists with continuous monitoring.
Can this treatment cure my condition?
No ethical clinic can promise a cure. Regenerative medicine is supportive — it aims to modulate inflammation, support tissue repair, and improve quality of life. We focus on transparent expectations and realistic, hopeful outcomes that match your specific case.
How much does this treatment cost in Istanbul?
Pricing is case-specific and depends on the protocol, cell dose, route of administration, and number of sessions. After your free case review, we provide a clear written quote — no hidden fees, no pressure.
What does the international patient program include?
Medical consultation, lab work, the treatment itself, in-clinic monitoring, airport transfers, accommodation guidance, translator support, and structured remote follow-up after you return home.
