PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) Therapy in Marbella
PRP injections using your body's own growth factors — no surgery, no implants
An advanced, non-surgical approach that uses a preparation derived from your own blood — designed to assist the body's natural healing processes.
About the Treatment
PRP therapy — short for platelet-rich plasma — is a non-surgical treatment that uses a preparation made from your own blood. It contains concentrated growth factors and bioactive proteins that are designed to support the body's natural healing and tissue recovery processes.
Because PRP comes entirely from your own blood, it carries minimal risk of adverse reactions and is well-tolerated by most patients. It is a popular choice for people seeking an effective alternative to surgery for joint pain, tendon injuries and musculoskeletal conditions.
PRP is one of the most studied orthobiologic treatments available. At CellOrtho in Marbella, we use a clinically precise protocol to ensure the preparation is optimised for each patient's condition.
How It Works
A small blood sample is collected from your arm and placed in a centrifuge, which separates and concentrates the platelets and growth factors. The resulting PRP preparation is then carefully administered by injection into the target area. Where appropriate, ultrasound or imaging guidance is used to ensure precise placement.
The full process takes approximately 45–60 minutes, including preparation and aftercare guidance. Most patients require between 1 and 3 sessions, depending on the condition being treated.
Commonly Considered For
Following a thorough medical assessment, this therapy may be considered to support recovery in areas such as:
- Knee pain and knee osteoarthritis
- Shoulder pain, frozen shoulder and rotator cuff injuries
- Tennis elbow and golfer's elbow (lateral and medial epicondylitis)
- Hip pain and hip joint degeneration
- Back pain and disc-related conditions
- Sports injuries and soft tissue damage
- Tendon and ligament conditions
- Early degenerative joint changes (an alternative to knee or hip replacement surgery)
Individual results may vary. Suitability is always determined through a medical consultation.
PRP as an Alternative to Surgery
For many patients, PRP therapy offers a credible non-surgical alternative to procedures such as knee replacement, hip replacement or shoulder surgery. Rather than waiting until a condition deteriorates to the point where surgery becomes necessary, PRP can be used proactively to manage pain, reduce inflammation and support tissue repair.
At CellOrtho Marbella, PRP is often combined with our other orthobiologic treatments — including cell-free signalling therapy and cellular therapy — for a more comprehensive regenerative approach.
