What PRP treatment is
Platelet-rich plasma, or PRP, is made by taking a small sample of your own blood and spinning it in a centrifuge to concentrate the platelets. The concentrate is then injected where doctors want to encourage repair or tissue response. PRGF is a related method that prepares a plasma rich in growth factors with a specific protocol. Because the material comes from you, the risk of allergy is low, but the treatment is still a procedure with its own risks. You can see the wider field in Regenerative Medicine treatments in Turkey.
PRP Treatments in Turkey
How the two treatments differ
PRP therapy
General PRP therapy is injected into joints, tendons, muscles, skin or the scalp, depending on the clinic's field. It is used by orthopaedic, sports medicine, dermatology and hair specialists. The evidence is stronger for some uses than others, and results vary from person to person. A doctor should tell you which use is supported and which is still being studied.
PRP and PRGF ovarian rejuvenation
This is a different treatment with a different aim. A concentrate is injected into or around the ovaries, in the hope of improving egg quality or ovarian response in women with low reserve or poor response to fertility treatment. It is considered experimental by many specialists, and the research so far is limited and not conclusive. If you are considering it, read our page on prp prgf ovarian rejuvenation, and discuss it with your fertility doctor first.
Who it is for and how to choose
PRP therapy is usually considered when simpler measures such as exercise, physiotherapy or medicines have not been enough. It is not a replacement for surgery where surgery is clearly needed. For ovarian treatment, patients are typically women who have a low ovarian reserve, premature ovarian insufficiency or repeated unsuccessful cycles. Ask the doctor to explain why this treatment is being recommended, what alternatives exist and what outcome they consider realistic. Be careful with any clinic that promises a pregnancy or a definite improvement. Medical history matters too: blood disorders, infections at the injection site and some medicines can mean PRP is unsuitable.
- Ask which condition the PRP is meant to treat.
- Ask what evidence supports it for that condition.
- Ask how many sessions are proposed, and how the result will be measured.
What the visit and recovery look like
PRP is normally an outpatient treatment. Blood is drawn, processed for a short time, and injected during the same visit. Local anaesthetic or numbing cream may be used. Joint or tendon injections can cause soreness for a day or two, and activity may be limited for a short time. Ovarian procedures are done under imaging guidance, often with sedation, and require a gynaecologist with training in the technique. Many treatments are planned as a series of sessions, so ask how many visits are needed and whether any can be given at home with your own doctor.
What affects the price
The cost depends on the number of sessions, the kit and preparation method, the area treated, imaging guidance, anaesthesia and the doctor's fee. Ovarian treatment may involve extra tests and monitoring. Ask whether the quote covers one session or a full course, and whether follow-up checks and tests are included.
How to check a hospital and a doctor
Ask for the doctor's speciality and training in the exact procedure, which preparation system the clinic uses and how it is prepared safely. The clinic should explain risks, such as pain, bleeding, infection and no improvement, and should not promise a particular result. For ovarian treatment, ask whether it is offered as part of a research protocol and whether your own fertility specialist agrees.

Frequently asked questions
PRP stands for platelet-rich plasma. A sample of your own blood is concentrated and injected into the area being treated, to support repair. It is used in orthopaedics, dermatology and hair care, with evidence that varies by use.
Because it comes from your own blood, allergic reaction is unlikely, but injections still carry risks such as pain, bleeding and infection. Tell the doctor about blood disorders and any medicines you take.
A concentrate made from your blood is injected into or near the ovaries, aiming to improve ovarian function or egg quality. It is regarded as experimental by many specialists, and results are not predictable.
No. No clinic can promise that. Research is limited, and results differ between women. Ask the doctor for an honest view of your chances, and discuss it with your fertility specialist before travelling.
It depends on the condition and the clinic's protocol. Some treatments use one injection, others a short series. The written plan should state the number of sessions and what each one costs.
The blood draw, preparation and injection often fit into one visit lasting a few hours. Ovarian procedures with sedation take longer, and you may need to rest afterwards and arrange someone to accompany you.
Yes. The quote is free and does not oblige you to book. You receive a written plan from the hospital, and you pay the hospital directly if you decide to go ahead.
