Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is rapidly gaining popularity. In fact, the PRP injections became four times as common between 2010 and 2020.
Wondering why?
Well, PRP has quite a few uses. It’s commonly used to combat hair loss and aid joint repair, for example.
However, it’s also sometimes used by people who want to make their penis larger. Unfortunately, while PRP is a powerful treatment with many uses, it alone cannot permanently increase the size of the penis.
What Is PRP?
PRP stands for “Platelet-Rich Plasma”. It is a type of blood plasma rich in platelets and growth factors. It’s made from the patient’s blood. Why makes this blood plasma so special? Well, growth factors help tissues heal and regenerate. And platelets contain and release growth factors. It’s a way to supercharge your body’s own recuperative powers.
How to do PRP
PRP is a simple procedure, but it requires several steps to complete.
- Blood Collection: The first step is taking a small amount of your own blood, just like when you get your blood tested at the lab.
- Centrifugation: The blood is then spun around very fast. Centrifugal force separates the blood into its components. The platelets are separated from the white and red blood cells.
- Concentration: A small amount of your own plasma is used to draw up the concentrated platelets. This is the PRP mix.
- Injection: After that, the PRP solution is injected back into the body, where it encourages repair and regeneration.
Growth Factors and Healing
As we have already noted, platelets contain growth factors. These growth factors are released into the tissue when they are injected. They can do a lot of things, such as:
- Encourage cells to grow and divide, thereby accelerating wound healing.
- Promote new blood vessel formation (a process called angiogenesis).
- Encourage the production of collagen and other parts of the connective tissue matrix.
You can probably see how these things could help speed the healing of tendons, ligaments, and muscles — and therefore help with orthopedic injuries. PRP is also used to encourage hair growth in both men and women. And it’s sometimes used to generally refresh the skin, which it does by lessening telltale signs of aging.
Sounds great, but how could that enlarge the penis? Well, it can’t. But that doesn’t stop people from trying.
PRP for Making the Penis Bigger…. Not Quite
The “P-Shot,” or “Priapus Shot,” is one example of how PRP has been sold to make the penis bigger. The idea is that PRP and its growth factors improve blood flow, support tissue healing, and enhance erectile function. PRP may do this, but it doesn’t actually change the size of the penis. It’s an “upsell” with little benefit to you.
You will note that PRP is never used by itself to make the penis bigger. It is always used along with other treatments. The other treatments in these cases are what are making your penis thicker.
We at GetMoreGirth think that PRP is not the best way to spend your money if you want a bigger, thicker, and more girthy penis. PRP therapy costs a lot of money, and won’t get you the results you’re hoping to see.
Some patients will say that PRP helps the other treatments work better. Maybe… But there are better and more economical ways to help the penis heal after surgery. For example, you can eat a healthy diet, quit smoking, sleep the recommended amount, and exercise daily.
Dermal Fillers Better for Penile Girth Enhancement
Dermal fillers are the real, best, and most direct way to increase penis size. You can see the results after a single syringe of dermal filler, and after the whole procedure, you’ll see a big difference in girth.
Think about this: when you inject one single syringe of filler into the penis, you get that syringe’s worth of gains. But with PRP, you get… “better healing.”
If you have money to burn, sure, get PRP. Just don’t expect it to increase your penis size as dermal fillers can. If you want actual girth gains for your money, dermal fillers are always the better option.
