What are the risks or side effects of PRP or BMAC?

Because PRP, BMAC, and MFAT use the patient's own blood, bone marrow, or fat, the risk of allergic reaction or disease transmission seen with foreign biologic products is essentially eliminated. The most common side effects are temporary soreness, swelling, or bruising at the injection or harvest site. As with any injection, there is a small risk of infection, and patients on blood thinners or with certain bleeding disorders should discuss their specific situation before proceeding.

PRP, BMAC, and MFAT use a patient's own tissue, which generally gives them a favorable safety profile compared to injected medications or foreign biologic material, though no injection is entirely without risk.

Patients are given a realistic picture of both what these treatments can and cannot do, and what to actually expect physically, rather than a marketing-style "no downtime, no risk" framing.
