PRP for chronic pain: a regenerative solution to improve life quality
Chronic pain can be very limiting, compromising the performance of daily activities and affecting the patient's psychophysical well-being, with significant repercussions on the quality of life. While traditional pain analgesia therapies often focus on symptom control, the use of Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP), by triggering tissue regeneration, is also therapeutic, promoting long-term healing.

How does PRP work for chronic pain?
PRP uses the growth factors present in the blood to promote healing and tissue regeneration, improving the functionality of the treated areas, thus stimulating the repair of the underlying biological damage, which is the cause of many chronic pain conditions.
PRP is obtained by centrifuging a small amount of the patient's blood: in this way the platelets are separated from the other blood components to obtain a product with very high regenerative power. The Platelet Rich Plasma thus obtained can be injected into an area to promote cellular regeneration and reduce inflammation.
Benefits of PRP for chronic pain
PRP treatment is indicated in cases of chronic pain because it triggers the repair and regeneration of damaged tissues, promoting the origin of new collagen and healing of lesions. Platelet Rich Plasma, thanks to the action of the growth factors, has anti-inflammatory effects that produce an effective reduction of perceived pain combined with an anti-inflammatory action.
When to use PRP treatments
PRP is used in the treatment of a wide range of pathologies that involve chronic pain, because it is able to stimulate a deep regeneration of the tissues, improving the outcome of inflammations and lesions. PRP therapy is non-invasive and can be used in case of failure of traditional therapies or in people who want to reduce the use of anti-inflammatories.
Among the disorders that respond best to therapy, we find, in particular:
- Carpal tunnel. In these cases, PRP reduces pain and promotes healing of the median nerve.
- Chronic tendinitis such as epicondylitis (commonly called tennis elbow) and inflammation of the Achilles tendon, for which PRP stimulates tissue repair processes.
- Osteoarthritis. PRP relieves pain and improves joint function, especially in knees and hips.
- Persistent musculoskeletal injuries.
- Radiculopathies. PRP reduces neuropathic pain associated with nerve compression.
Side effects and recovery time
PRP is an autologous component, therefore safe and well tolerated. Side effects are rare and may include swelling and redness in the treated area that tend to resolve quickly within a few days. The improvement in the patient's condition is progressive, with results that appear in the weeks following treatment.
At Studio Bonaccorso, PRP for the treatment of chronic pain is applied following advanced and personalized protocols. The studio, directed by Dr. Bonaccorso, a functionalist doctor specialized in regenerative therapies, integrates scientific expertise and cutting-edge technologies to provide solutions aimed at the needs of patients.

PRP and exosomes: the innovation in skin regeneration
Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) is a blood component already known for its ability to stimulate cellular regeneration and improve skin quality naturally. Recently, it has been discovered that exosomes, used in combination with PRP, enhance its power. Exosomes, small extracellular vesicles, are in fact able to accelerate tissue regeneration and, consequently, improve the aesthetic outcome of the treatment.
PRP for scars: a new hope for even skin
Scars resulting from acne, surgery, trauma or burns can compromise the appearance of the skin and negatively impact self-esteem. Thanks to Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP), it is now possible to improve the appearance of scars in a natural and non-invasive way. PRP represents an innovative solution in dermatology, capable of stimulating the regeneration of damaged tissue.
PRP and skin rejuvenation: the secret to fresh and glowing skin
Skin rejuvenation is one of the most pressing goals of aesthetic medicine. As we age, the skin tends to lose elasticity, brightness and firmness due to the physiological decline in collagen and elastin production. From this perspective, Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) is a revolutionary, safe and natural treatment to improve skin quality and reduce the signs of aging.
