Platelet-Rich Plasma Injections
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections have been used for years in dentistry, reconstructive surgery, and orthopedic medicine, and now doctors are expanding uses to dermatology, cosmetic facial rejuvenation, sexual dysfunction, hair loss, and wound healing.

Dr. Roberts has lectured to and conducted hands-on training with thousands of other physicians nationally, teaching them about platelet-rich plasma injections. She is an expert on the therapy and has used it in clinical practice for myriad conditions. Her clinic has one of the best machines in the Springfield area, making one of her treatments equal to about three from a lesser machine.
PRP uses the body’s own natural growth factors and stem cells to generate healing and collagen production. The doctor draws blood and spins it down in a centrifuge which concentrates the stem cells and growth factors into platelet-rich plasma. The plasma can be injected into injured areas, treat sexual dysfunction, regenerate hair, and help aging skin regain a youthful, smooth, firm appearance.
This treatment is different because it stimulates the body’s own natural healing. Joint replacements can limit mobility and create risk for infection, but PRP can help elongate the life of natural joints and, in some cases, eliminate the need for replacement. The injections also offer a natural way to heal diabetic foot ulcers, bedsores, thermal burns and skin graft donor sites, and post-traumatic scars. Patients concerned about hair loss can also find a natural remedy for re-growing hair follicles at their roots. Dr. Roberts usually combines PRP with other therapies to fully treat hair issues.

“I’d been told to have a shoulder replacement to stop the pain, but they said I would never be able to raise my arm more than shoulder high. PRP injections took away almost all of the pain. I was just amazed at how different life was before and after. I have more mobility, I’m less restricted, and the injections themselves weren’t painful at all – easier even than getting cortisone shots. I had two surgeries and ten cortisone shots before Dr. Roberts helped heal me. ”
