prp Therapy In Oklahoma CIty
Natural healing for hair loss, joint pain, and women’s health — powered by your own blood, using the advanced SELPHYL PRFM system.
What is PRP?
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy is a regenerative treatment that uses the healing power already inside your own body. At Nexus Health in Oklahoma City, we use the SELPHYL® PRFM (Platelet-Rich Fibrin Matrix) system — one of the most advanced PRP delivery systems available — to treat a range of conditions including hair loss, joint pain, and women's sexual health concerns.
Here's how it works: a small amount of your blood is drawn and spun in a centrifuge to concentrate the platelets. Platelets are packed with growth factors and proteins that your body uses to heal and regenerate tissue. When injected into a targeted area, this concentration of platelets accelerates healing, reduces inflammation, and stimulates new tissue growth.
Because PRP uses your own blood, the risk of allergic reaction or rejection is extremely low — making it one of the safest regenerative therapies available.
What can PRP treat?
Hair loss (PRP hair restoration) — PRP injections into the scalp stimulate dormant hair follicles, promoting new growth & thickening existing hair. An effective non-surgical option for both men & women experiencing thinning hair.
Joint pain (knees, shoulders, & more) — PRP injections reduce inflammation & promote tissue repair in damaged joints, offering relief from acute and chronic pain without surgery. Commonly used for knee pain, shoulder pain, and tendon injuries.
O-Shot (women’s sexual health) — The O-Shot uses PRP to address vaginal dryness, painful intercourse (dyspareunia), and difficulty achieving orgasm. A natural, minimally invasive treatment that works with your body’s own healing response.
PRP with Sylfirm X RF Microneedling — PRP can be applied immediately after Sylfirm X treatment to boost skin rejuvenation, speed healing, and enhance collagen production for superior facial results.
Improves the stability and longevity of platelets and growth factors, maximizing their regenerative potential.
Creates a fibrin scaffold that keeps platelets localized at the treatment site, so growth factors are delivered exactly where they're needed — not dispersed into surrounding tissue.
Has a slower, sustained release of growth factors (up to 7 days, compared to up to 2 days for traditional PRP) which gets the most out of their regenerative potential.
Not all PRP is created equal. At Nexus Health, we use the SELPHYL® PRFM system, which produces Platelet-Rich Fibrin Matrix — a more advanced form of PRP with distinct advantages over standard PRP therapy:

What Our Patients Are Saying
"I have had 3 rounds of PRP injections. I saw a sign on the wall in Dr. Harris' office describing something I had been going through: painful sexual intercourse. I asked Dr. Harris about it. He explained what it was and how it worked. I said, 'I want to try it.' First injection: sex was still painful. Second injection: same thing, I was thinking 'Is this going to work for me?' Now it's time for the third: Is this one going to work? The first sexual intercourse after that injection it was the worst pain ever. I thought this is just not going to work for me. Then we had sex again and the pain wasn't that bad. Each time it has gotten better and better."

Frequently Asked Questions
-
PRP therapy is considered very safe because it uses your own blood, which virtually eliminates the risk of allergic reactions or disease transmission. At Nexus Health, we use the SELPHYL® PRFM system which further enhances safety by creating a stable fibrin matrix that keeps growth factors localized at the treatment site. As with any injection-based procedure, minor risks such as temporary soreness, swelling, or bruising at the injection site are possible and will be discussed with you during your consultation.
-
For most conditions — including hair loss, joint pain, and the O-Shot — we recommend an initial series of 3 treatments spaced one month apart. This gives the growth factors time to work progressively with each session. After completing your initial series, most patients maintain their results with a single follow-up treatment once a year. Some patients may need more or fewer sessions depending on the severity of their condition, which we'll assess during your consultation.
-
Most patients find PRP therapy minimally uncomfortable. A small amount of blood is drawn from your arm — just like a routine blood draw — and the actual injection is generally well-tolerated. For more sensitive treatment areas such as the scalp or intimate areas, we apply a topical numbing cream beforehand to maximize your comfort. Most patients are pleasantly surprised by how manageable the procedure is.
-
Downtime is minimal for most patients. You can typically return to normal daily activities the same day. Some mild swelling, tenderness, or bruising at the injection site is normal and usually resolves within a few days. For joint injections, we recommend avoiding strenuous activity for 24 to 48 hours. For scalp treatments, avoid washing your hair for at least 6 hours post-treatment. For the O-Shot, there is no downtime and you may resume intercourse immediately.
-
Results from PRP therapy develop gradually as your body's healing response is activated. Most patients begin noticing improvements 4 to 6 weeks after their first treatment, with more significant results appearing after completing the full series of 3 sessions. Hair restoration patients typically see new growth and reduced shedding within 3 to 6 months. For joint pain and O-Shot treatments, improvement is often progressive — with each session building on the last, as Rita, one of our patients, described in her experience above.
-
PRP may not be appropriate for everyone. It is generally not recommended for individuals with active infections, blood clotting disorders, certain cancers, or those taking blood thinners. Pregnancy is also a contraindication for most PRP applications. During your consultation at Nexus Health, we'll conduct a thorough medical history review to confirm PRP is safe and right for you before proceeding with any treatment.
-
The longevity of PRP results varies by treatment area and individual health factors. For hair restoration, results typically last 12 to 18 months with a single annual maintenance treatment. Joint pain relief often lasts 6 to 12 months depending on the severity of the condition. O-Shot results vary by patient but many women report sustained improvement for 12 months or more. Your provider will give you a realistic expectation of outcomes and a recommended maintenance schedule during your consultation.
