PLATELET RICH PLASMA (PRP)
Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy is a medical treatment that utilizes the patient's own blood to promote healing and tissue regeneration. This innovative technique involves extracting a small amount of blood from the patient and then processing it in a centrifuge machine to concentrate the platelets, growth factors, and other healing properties in the blood. The resulting platelet-rich plasma is then injected back into the patient's body in the area that requires treatment. PRP injections have been found to be highly effective in treating various medical conditions, including joint pain, tendonitis, and other musculoskeletal injuries. The treatment is non-surgical, non-invasive, and does not require a lengthy recovery time. It has gained popularity as an alternative to traditional medical treatments for its ability to accelerate healing and promote natural tissue regeneration.
Common Treatments For PRP Injections
PRP injections can be used to treat very chronic conditions as well as to induce healing in the tissues which are slow to repair, particularly tendons and also ligaments. The most common treatments for PRP injections are:
Osteoarthritis – knee,hip,spine and shoulder
Rotator cuff tears and strains
Back and Neck injuries and pain
ACL and knee injuries
Chronic knee pain
Sacroiliac joint pain
Shoulder injuries
Muscle tears and strains
Golfers and tennis elbow
Plantar Fasciitis
Tendinitis and ligament sprains
Sciatica
Dr. Sister has his own trademarked version of PRP called the Dracula Therapy™. His therapy is different in a number of ways:
Only 20cc of blood is taken from the patient.
It is hermetical – safe from air.
It is not mixed with anything – 100% of the injection is from the patient’s blood.
Very specific calculations are made in the centrifuge process and equipment specifications to guarantee the correct platelets concentration and that growth factors are not release before injection.
Plasma injections use the healing power of your own body. The process begins by taking a small sample of your own blood, this is then placed in a centrifuge where the platelets are separated from the plasma. The platelets are then injected in to the damaged tissue, this releases the growth factors that recruits and increases the proliferation of reparative cells. This reduces inflammation and encourages regeneration.
PRP FOR HAIRLOSS
Dracula Therapy Is unique version of Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP), is an effective treatment for hair loss that can combat both male pattern baldness and alopecia. The process is similar to PRP therapy used for anti-aging treatment.
A small amount of blood is taken from the patient's arm, which is then spun in a centrifuge to separate the serum, red blood cells, and platelets. This serum contains growth factors that are then injected into the scalp in a series of tiny injections.
The growth factors stimulate new cell production in the scalp, promoting healthy hair growth and a thicker head of hair. The treatment is ideal for those experiencing a lack of cell renewal in the scalp, a common cause of hair loss.
Because hair grows in different cycles and rates on different parts of the head, a course of at least three treatments is generally required to ensure all follicles are stimulated. Results can be seen in as little as three to six months.
Dracula Therapy is a safe and cost-effective alternative to a hair transplant, with natural-looking results,, using the patient's own blood, there is no risk of allergic reactions.
A consultation with Dr Sister is recommended to determine the best treatment plan for each patient.
PRP - FOR SOFT TISSUE INJURIES
Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy (PRP), also known as Dracula Therapy, has been found to be an effective treatment for a variety of soft tissue injuries.
Soft tissues include
muscles
tendons
ligaments
cartilage.
PRP therapy involves injecting a concentrated solution of the patient's own platelets, which contain growth factors, into the affected area. These growth factors stimulate the body's natural healing response, promoting the repair and regeneration of damaged tissues.PRP therapy can be used to treat a range of soft tissue injuries, including tendonopathy, tendonosis, acute and chronic muscle strain, muscle fibrosis, ligamentous sprains, and joint capsular laxity.
It has also been found to be effective in treating conditions such as arthritis, arthrofibrosis, articular cartilage defects, meniscal injury, and chronic synovitis or joint inflamation. One notable study showed that PRP was successful in treating tennis elbow, with 84% of patients who had previously tried other non-surgical treatments without success being successfully treated with PRP.
The fact that PRP therapy uses the patient's own blood means that it is a safe and natural treatment option, with no risk of allergic reactions or rejection.

PRP FOR SCARS
Dracula therapy, also known as Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy, is an injectable anti-aging treatment that uses your own blood to stimulate healing and rejuvenation. The process involves taking a small sample of your blood and separating it into red blood cells, clear serum, and platelets through centrifugation. Vitamins and amino acids are then added to create a supercharged serum, which is injected into the desired area.
This treatment can help heal scars, revitalize skin, and treat stretch marks. It's a natural alternative to synthetic fillers and animal products, and the effects are noticeable within 3-4 weeks.
Results can last up to 6 months before treatment may need to be repeated due to the ongoing aging process.
Dracula therapy is a safe and effective treatment that appeals to patients looking for a more natural approach to facial rejuvenation.
PRP FOR HANDS
Our hands often reveal our true age, yet they are often neglected when it comes to skin care. As we age, the decrease in collagen causes the skin on our hands to lose elasticity and appear thin and sun-damaged.
While fillers are an option, a more comprehensive solution is needed to address both pigmentation and rejuvenation.
That's where Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy, also known as Dracula Therapy, comes in. This natural form of skin rejuvenation involves taking a small sample of your own blood and extracting the plasma, which is rich in growth factors that stimulate DNA repair, heal scars, and rejuvenate skin that lacks luster. By injecting this powerful serum into the back of your hands, we can improve skin tone, texture, and elasticity.
