Injections are easy and quick.

1. First, the physician will draw blood from your arm.
2. Secondly, once the blood is drawn, the sample will be placed in a machine to separate the platelets from the rest of your blood.
3. Lastly, once the platelets have been separated, the physician will then re-inject the blood that contains the higher concentration of platelets back into your body.

The solution is gently injected into the target area, such as a injured knee or tendon, via a needle. Injections can take place over a course of weeks or months to help the body accelerate the healing. Results can last as long as 18 months.
