Dr. Joshua John-Ram Schacter explains that Kristin's borderline high platelet count is nothing to worry about. Higher platelet counts actually make PRP treatments work faster and more effectively, which makes her a good candidate for the procedure.
It's going to work faster and more effectively and probably longer. So you're a great PRP candidate. Hi, Kristin, great question. So what does it mean if your platelet count is borderline high? Well, that means that you have slightly higher than normal platelets, which I don't know exactly what your platelet count is, but of extremely high level, like abnormally high. It can increase your risk of blood clots. But if it's just borderline high, that's probably just fine. And it does mean that prp, because you have more platelets in your blood, it's going to work faster and more effectively and probably longer. So you're a great PRP candidate. Hope that helps.
