The Power of Platelet Rich Plasma

Did you know we offer Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) treatments?


Let me tell you why PRP is something you should be excited about! The human body has a remarkable capacity to heal itself, and regeneration of new tissue is accomplished by the natural production of stem cells. PRP involves the application of concentrated platelets, rich in bio-active proteins, which release growth factors to stimulate cellular regeneration and accelerate tissue repair. The benefits of PRP were initially used in wound healing, dentistry and the treatment of sports injuries, but have now evolved to address many physiological dysfunctions like the following:

  • Urinary incontinence

  • Sexual Wellness

  • Painful Intercourse

  • Pain Relief

  • Lichen Planus

  • Rosacea

  • Scarring

  • Acne

  • Wrinkled or sagging skin


A PRP treatment begins with a simple blood draw and can be completed within an hour. Your blood is spun in a unique centrifuge that separates plasma and platelets from the rest of the blood. The plasma, now highly concentrated with platelets, is collected in syringes and injected back into your tissues. Growth factors are released and stimulate stem cells to create new, youthful tissues in the area injected. PRP utilizes your own blood so your body will readily accept the treatment without reaction or rejection. PRP procedures are minimally invasive and typically patients experience very little discomfort with no downtime.

At Mint Health, we offer the following:

~Vaginal PRP for sexual wellness & the treatment of incontinence and & overactive bladder ($800 or $2300 for 3)

~Facial PRP for anti-aging & the treatment of a variety of skin conditions ($600 or $1500 for a pack of 3)

Here are a few PATIENT TESTIMONIALS

"I was diagnosed with Estrogen Positive Breast Cancer when I was 33 years old. In addition to chemotherapy and a mastectomy, it was recommended that I have a full hysterectomy. After the hysterectomy I was unable to take hormones due to my estrogen positive breast cancer. This led me to deal with immediate menopausal symptoms with virtually no choice in relief from the side effects. After 13 years of uncomfortable intercourse, lack of desire, vaginal dryness and occasional urinary leakage I was ready to get my life back and feel like a normal 46 year old. A friend of mine suggested I visit Dr. Buchert and talk to her about my concerns. After my first visit with her, I felt like I finally had safe options that would help me feel normal again. We discussed PRP being an option for me because it could help if not alleviate most of my symptoms. A few weeks later I had my first PRP injection, and it has been a game changer. It has pretty much improved if not completely alleviated my symptoms of uncomfortable intercourse, lack of desire, vaginal dryness and occasional urinary leakage! I highly recommend it for any woman!"

"I was very excited to get the PRP facial. The procedure results were amazing. The texture of my skin prior was very dry and scaly. I have rosacea as well. The procedure itself is very tolerable. The healing improved drastically each day. This allowed my skin to absorb moisturizer so well. I received so many compliments!! My procedure was on a Friday and I was back at work with makeup on Monday. What a difference. It’s been a few months now and the texture is still wonderful. I will do this again when I need to!"

There are very few contraindications for using PRP. If you are wondering if PRP can be used for an ailment other than what is mentioned, just ask us! This treatment is very effective and very safe, so the potentials are almost endless.

In Functional Medicine at Mint Health we focus on helping you work to overcome health hurdles and work towards optimal wellness through a more natural approach. We stay excited about the potentials of PRP, because it can help keep people off antibiotics for acne and rosacea (recurrent use of antibiotics is terrible for your health in so many ways!), help people avoid surgical procedures for bladder and vaginal issues, and avoid other potentially harmful interventions used for pain, sexual dysfunction, and other quality of life concerns.
