What is PRP (Platelet‑Rich Plasma) Therapy?
Natural healing, no surgery—designed for men’s recovery.
For men dealing with erectile dysfunction or early signs of hair loss, finding a solution that’s both effective and minimally invasive can be a challenge. That’s where PRP therapy comes in. Short for platelet-rich plasma therapy, this cutting-edge treatment uses your own blood to promote healing and restore function, without the need for surgery or synthetic drugs.In this guide, we’ll explore how PRP therapy works, its key benefits, and how it can be used to treat ED and hair loss. You’ll also learn what to expect during treatment, the safety profile of PRP, and how to determine if it’s the right option for your health goals.
What Is PRP & How Does It Work?
PRP therapy is a regenerative treatment that harnesses your body’s natural healing powers to accelerate tissue repair and stimulate growth. It’s especially appealing to men seeking a non-surgical approach to hair restoration. The process starts with a simple blood draw. The collected blood is then placed in a centrifuge, a machine that spins it at high speeds to separate its components. This results in a high concentration of platelets suspended in plasma. These platelets are rich in growth factors and proteins essential for cell regeneration and healing. PRP injections have five to ten times as many platelets as a normal blood sample would. (1)Once the PRP is prepared, it’s re-injected into the targeted area. The growth factors then go to work, promoting repair and stimulating tissue regeneration where it’s needed most.
Why Choose PRP? Key Benefits
PRP therapy offers several advantages that make it an attractive option for men. PRP benefits include:
- Non-surgical, regenerative treatment: PRP therapy is an ideal choice for men wanting to avoid invasive procedures.Hair restoration results: PRP has been shown to improve density and slow hair loss in men with androgenic alopecia. (2)
- Low risk profile: Since PRP uses your own blood, there’s minimal risk of allergic reaction or rejection. (3)
- Faster Recovery Times: PRP therapy is minimally invasive, and can lead to a faster recovery and return to your everyday life. (4)
Whether you're experiencing early-stage hair loss or looking to treat erectile dysfunction with a P-Shot, PRP can be a highly effective tool in your wellness arsenal.
Common PRP Treatments at Gameday
At Gameday Men’s Health, we tailor PRP therapy to meet men’s unique health and lifestyle needs. Our most common applications include:
- Hair Restoration: We offer PRP injections for hair loss, especially male pattern baldness. Administered directly into the scalp, PRP stimulates dormant hair follicles and promotes regrowth.
- Male Sexual Wellness: At Gameday, we also offer PRP treatment for erectile dysfunction in the form of the P-Shot. The P-shot can help address Peyronie's Disease, a condition where scar tissues forces the penis to curve when erect, as well as provide increased sensitivity and stronger, longer-lasting erections.

Before using PRP treatment for hair loss or sexual wellness, it’s important to consult with a licensed clinician at Gameday, who can determine if these treatments are right for your specific individual needs.
What to Expect at Our Clinic
At Gameday Men’s Health, we’ve streamlined the PRP experience to make it comfortable, efficient, and highly personalized.To begin, every journey at Gameday starts with a one-on-one consultation to evaluate your health history, lay out your treatment goals, go over any concerns you have, and answer questions. This helps ensure that PRP is the right fit for your needs before proceeding with treatment. Eligible patients will next undergo a blood draw and injection. A clinician will draw a small amount of blood, process it in a centrifuge, and inject the prepared PRP into the treatment area using image-guided techniques when needed.Most patients resume normal activities within 24 hours. A customized maintenance plan, including future PRP sessions or supportive therapies, will be discussed to ensure long-term success.
Safety & Side Effects
PRP therapy is widely regarded as safe with minimal side effects. Because the treatment uses your own blood, the risk of adverse reactions is very low, and an allergic reaction is much lower than with other injectable medications like corticosteroids. (6)However, there are still some PRP safety risks. Common, mild side effects include temporary soreness, swelling, or bruising at the injection site. On rarer occasions, patients may experience side effects such as bleeding, tissue damage, infection, or nerve injuries. During your consultation, your clinicians will review your health history and determine if you are at a higher risk of experiencing significant side effects that would prevent you from undergoing PRP therapy.
Is PRP Right for You?
As a regenerative treatment, platelet-rich plasma for men addresses challenges for men without relying on medication or invasive procedures. PRP therapy may be an excellent option for men who:
- Are experiencing early signs of hair loss or thinning.
- Prefer natural, minimally invasive solutions for long-term recovery.
- Are seeking stronger, firmer erections and looking to treat signs of ED.
However, PRP therapy may not be appropriate if you’re currently dealing with uncontrolled medical conditions, such as untreated infections or severe blood disorders. Other conditions that are important to disclose before undergoing PRP therapy include thrombocytopenia, HIV, and hepatitis C. (7)A personalized consultation at Gameday is essential to determine your candidacy and to create the right treatment plan for you.
