PRP & Regenerative Medicine in Southlake, TX.

PRP for joints, tendons, and hair. Performed in our Southlake clinic.

PRP, stem-cell-derived therapies, and exosome protocols for joint pain, tissue injury, and age-related musculoskeletal decline. We do the modalities that have evidence, and skip the ones marketed beyond what they do.

Quick Facts
  • PRP for knee osteoarthritis improved pain and function compared with hyaluronic acid in multiple RCTs and meta-analyses.1
  • PRP demonstrated benefit over corticosteroid injection for lateral epicondylitis (tennis elbow) at 6- and 12-month follow-up.2
  • PRP for early-stage androgenetic alopecia produced a meaningful increase in hair density and follicle count in randomized data.3
  • Magnolia performs in-house PRP processing under ultrasound guidance for joint, tendon, and scalp procedures. Joint/tendon pricing $700–$1,200; hair PRP $1,200 single or $3,200 for the 3-treatment package.
  • We do not offer stem cell or exosome injections. The regulatory and evidence landscape for those therapies is unsettled and we don't sell what we can't defend.
  • Every PRP plan is built or personally reviewed and adjusted by Dr. Farhan Abdullah, DO.
What it is

PRP, done right, not stem cell theater.

PRP (platelet-rich plasma) is concentrated from your own blood through centrifugation. Platelets contain growth factors (PDGF, TGF-β, VEGF, IGF-1) that initiate and modulate tissue repair when delivered to a damaged joint, tendon, or hair follicle. The evidence is strongest for mild-to-moderate knee osteoarthritis,1 lateral epicondylitis,2 and early-stage androgenetic alopecia.3

We do not offer stem-cell or exosome injections. The marketing in those categories runs well ahead of the human evidence and the FDA regulatory framework, and we'd rather refer or wait than sell something we can't defend. PRP, used for the right indications and processed correctly, is the regenerative therapy that earns its place in our clinic.

Honest disclosure. Regenerative medicine is a category where marketing routinely outruns evidence. Our rule: if the evidence doesn't support the claim, we don't make the claim. That sometimes means turning patients away.

What PRP is for

The joints
that got you here.

Tissue regeneration where the evidence is strongest. Drawn, spun, and injected in the same room. Nothing oversold.

Procedures

Three PRP applications.
All evidence-supported.

We offer PRP where the data are strongest. Procedure done in-house under ultrasound guidance.

Joint

Joint PRP

Knee, hip, or shoulder. Strongest evidence in mild-to-moderate knee osteoarthritis.1 Most patients receive 1 to 3 injections spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart, performed under ultrasound guidance.

$1,200
Tendon

Tendon PRP

Lateral epicondylitis (tennis elbow), patellar tendinopathy, Achilles tendinopathy. PRP outperformed corticosteroid at 6- and 12-month follow-up.2

$900
Hair

Hair Restoration PRP

For early-stage androgenetic alopecia. Combined with microneedling. Single treatment $1,200; the 3-treatment package $3,200 with maintenance every 6 months.3

$1,200 / $3,200
Add-ons. Additional site at the same visit: $700. Repeat injection at the same site: $900.

Drawn, spun, and injected — in the same room.

Most clinics that offer PRP send blood out, schedule you for a return visit days later, and the product you receive is sometimes pre-mixed. We're not most clinics.

You arrive. We draw. The centrifuge runs about 12–15 minutes. Joint and tendon injections are placed under ultrasound guidance to confirm correct anatomy. Total visit: under an hour.

How we're different

Five things that matter in regenerative medicine.

01Physician-led, every plan.Every PRP plan is built or personally reviewed and adjusted by Dr. Abdullah. We screen the indication before scheduling.
02In-house processing.Your PRP is drawn, processed, and injected the same visit. No outside lab, no shipped blood, no pre-mixed product.
03Ultrasound-guided injection.Joint and tendon PRP is delivered under ultrasound guidance to confirm correct placement.
04Imaging review.If you have an MRI, we review it before the procedure. Severity matters; PRP outcomes vary by stage.
05Honest "no" when needed.We decline cases where the evidence is weak or the pathology is too advanced. We'd rather refer than oversell.
Safety + side effects

What to actually expect.

Most common. Mild post-injection soreness at the site for 24 to 48 hours. This reflects the early inflammatory phase of tissue repair and is expected, not a complication.

Less common. Bruising, brief swelling, transient flare of pain in the first week. Rare: infection at the injection site (we use sterile technique and ultrasound guidance to minimize risk).

Contraindications. Active infection at or near the injection site. Active malignancy. Bleeding disorders. Pregnancy. We screen at the first visit.

What gets back

Range, rotation, endurance.

Frequently asked

Common questions, honestly answered.

What is PRP and how does it work?
PRP (platelet-rich plasma) is concentrated from your own blood through centrifugation. The platelets release growth factors (PDGF, TGF-β, VEGF, IGF-1) that initiate and modulate tissue repair when injected into damaged joints, tendons, or hair follicles.
How much does PRP cost in Southlake?
Knee, hip, or shoulder $1,200; tendon $900; additional site at same visit $700; repeat at same site $900. Hair restoration $1,200 single or $3,200 for the 3-treatment package. First visit is free.
What conditions respond best to PRP?
Strongest evidence: mild-to-moderate knee osteoarthritis, lateral epicondylitis, patellar tendinopathy, Achilles tendinopathy, and early-stage androgenetic alopecia. Late-stage osteoarthritis or complete tendon tears respond less reliably.
How is PRP done at Magnolia?
Blood is drawn at our Southlake clinic, processed in-house, and injected under ultrasound guidance. The full visit takes about 60 minutes. Local anesthetic is used at the injection site.
How many PRP sessions will I need?
For joints and tendons, 1 to 3 sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart is the most common protocol. Hair restoration follows a 3-treatment series with maintenance every 6 months.
Is PRP covered by insurance?
No. PRP is out-of-pocket. The office visit, imaging review, and diagnostic labs are billable to insurance at our Southlake clinic when criteria are met.
Does PRP hurt?
Blood draw is identical to a routine lab draw. Local anesthetic at the injection site. Most patients describe moderate pressure or brief stinging. Mild soreness for 24–48 hours is normal and reflects the early inflammatory phase of tissue repair.
Do you offer stem cell or exosome therapy?
No. We focus on PRP because the evidence base is strongest and we can process it transparently in-house. The regulatory and evidence landscape for stem cell and exosome injections is unsettled; we don't sell what we can't defend.
