PRP TREATMENT

Regenerative Care for Pain, Healing & Cosmetic Foot Rejuvenation

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy is an advanced, regenerative treatment that uses your body’s own healing factors to repair damaged tissue, reduce inflammation, and promote faster recovery.
At her Upper East Side Manhattan office, Dr. Krista Archer offers PRP treatments as part of her commitment to bringing cutting-edge, minimally invasive options to foot and ankle care—as well as cosmetic foot rejuvenation.

What Is PRP?

PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) is created by drawing a small amount of your own blood, then spinning it in a centrifuge to separate and concentrate the platelet-rich plasma layer—rich in growth factors and healing proteins.
This concentrated serum is then injected directly into the affected area to stimulate the body’s natural healing process.

How Does PRP Fit Into Dr. Archer’s Treatments?

1. Foot & Ankle Injuries and Overuse Conditions

• Achilles tendonitis and tendonosis

• Plantar fasciitis and chronic heel pain

• Ligament sprains or tears

• Post-surgical healing support

PRP is often used to reduce inflammation, accelerate healing of soft tissue injuries, and potentially avoid or delay surgery.
For chronic foot pain conditions that have not responded to traditional treatments, PRP offers a natural, regenerative alternative.

2. Cosmetic Foot Rejuvenation

As part of her aesthetic foot care practice, Dr. Archer uses PRP injections to:

• Improve skin texture and thickness on the feet

• Support fat pad health and cushioning when combined with other treatments like Sculptra®

• Rejuvenate aging feet that feel thin, tired, or painful in shoes

By stimulating collagen production and circulation, PRP can restore a youthful, healthy appearance to the feet, complementing her cosmetic foot procedures and ARCH skin care line.

3. Nail Bed & Skin Support (Emerging Use)

PRP may also be used as a supportive therapy for improving nail bed health and recovery after fungal nail treatments, although this is considered an off-label, exploratory use.

What to Expect During PRP Treatment

• In-office procedure

• Minimal discomfort—local anesthesia may be used if needed

• Little to no downtime—patients can return to daily activities shortly after

• May require a series of treatments for best results
