PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) injection is a regenerative treatment that uses a patient's blood to stimulate vocal fold healing. It's beneficial for treating vocal fold atrophy, scarring, and sulcus vocalis — a groove or depression in the vocal fold that can cause a weak, breathy, or strained voice. PRP contains concentrated growth factors that promote collagen remodeling, reduce inflammation, and help restore pliability to the vocal tissue.

The procedure is done entirely in the office. A small amount of your blood is drawn and processed in a centrifuge to separate the PRP. Then, using a flexible scope for guidance, the PRP is injected into the vocal folds through either the mouth or the neck. The full appointment takes about 45–60 minutes, with the injection itself lasting only 10–15 minutes. Most patients describe the sensation as a brief fullness or mild pressure. Some localized pain at the injection site may be expected. Voice rest is usually recommended for 24–48 hours, with a gradual return to speaking afterward. Depending on the condition, a series of 1–3 treatments may be suggested. Because it's your own tissue, there's virtually no risk of allergic reaction. PRP is a safe, natural option that may be combined with voice therapy or other injections for longer-lasting results.
