Dr. Robert Rubin offers PRP therapy at two locations in Florida:

Telemedicine consultations are available for patients across Florida, including the Tampa Bay Area, South Palm Beach, and North Broward.
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy uses the healing properties of your own blood to accelerate tissue regeneration and repair. A small volume of blood is drawn and centrifuged to concentrate the platelets — cells that carry growth factors responsible for healing, collagen production, and cellular regeneration. That concentrated plasma is then injected precisely at the treatment site, triggering the body's natural repair mechanisms with far greater intensity than would occur on its own.
PRP has been used in medical procedures for decades. Professional athletes brought it to mainstream attention as a treatment for sports injuries to tendons, muscles, joints, and cartilage. Its applications have since expanded well beyond orthopedics — into sexual health, hair restoration, skin rejuvenation, and pain management — driven by its consistent ability to produce meaningful results without surgery, synthetic drugs, or significant downtime.
At Improving Your Health, PRP therapy is used to address:
Some PRP treatments have developed widely recognized names based on their application. Dr. Rubin offers the following at both clinics:
PRP injected into targeted tissue in the penis to enhance male sexual function, increase sensitivity and pleasure, and address erectile dysfunction and Peyronie's Disease. Available at the Naples and Tampa clinics.
PRP injected into the clitoris and anterior vaginal wall to enhance female sexual pleasure, improve orgasm, and address urinary incontinence. Available at the Naples and Tampa clinics.
PRP injected into the scalp to stimulate dormant follicles and reverse hair thinning caused by aging or genetic conditions. Often combined with BHRT where hormonal imbalances are contributing to hair loss.
PRP injected at the site of musculoskeletal injury or chronic pain — knees, shoulders, hips, tendons — as an effective option when steroid injections or oral pain medications have failed. Can also be used alongside trigger point injections.
PRP therapy at Improving Your Health is part of a broader functional medicine evaluation, not a standalone injection. Dr. Rubin treats the condition driving your symptoms — not just the symptoms themselves. Hair loss is a clear example: PRP can stimulate follicle regrowth, but if a hormonal imbalance is causing the loss, BHRT is incorporated alongside the injections to address the root cause. Knee pain is another: PRP may reduce inflammation and accelerate repair, but medical weight loss to relieve load on the joint may be an equally important component of a durable outcome.
The evaluation includes a review of your medical history, a full physical exam, a hormone function panel, and your genetic family history. From there, Dr. Rubin builds a personalized plan that uses PRP as one tool among whatever else is warranted.
It depends on the condition being treated. Some patients see significant improvement after a single session; others require a series of injections spaced over several weeks. Dr. Rubin will outline the expected protocol at your consultation based on the nature and severity of your condition.
Because PRP works by triggering the body's own regenerative processes, results develop over weeks rather than immediately. Most patients begin to notice improvement within four to six weeks, with continued progress over three to six months.
The procedure involves a blood draw and injections at the treatment site. Topical numbing agents are applied beforehand to minimize discomfort. Most patients tolerate the procedure well with minimal downtime.
Because PRP uses your own blood, the risk of allergic reaction or rejection is minimal. It is a non-surgical, minimally invasive procedure with a long track record in both medical and aesthetic applications. Candidacy is assessed individually — Dr. Rubin will review your health history and medications before proceeding.
Dr. Rubin is ABIM Board Certified in Internal Medicine and Geriatrics Medicine and an Advanced Fellow in the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine. He spent the first 25 years of his career in internal and geriatric medicine, earning recognition from Castle Connolly Medical as one of the "Top Doctors" in South Florida for four consecutive years.
After completing a fellowship in anti-aging and regenerative medicine, he transitioned fully to functional medicine to better address the unmet needs of patients with chronic and complex conditions. Over the past 15 years, he has built a practice grounded in evidence-based care that takes the time conventional medicine rarely allows.
Free consultations are available at both clinics and via telemedicine for patients anywhere in Florida.
