platelet-rich plasma therapy (PRP)

What is platelet-rich plasma therapy (PRP)?

Platelet-rich plasma therapy (PRP) is a treatment that reinjects components containing platelets extracted from your own blood. PRP therapy uses one's own blood, so there is little immune reaction, and it is considered to be one of the relatively safe treatments.

Effects and features of PRP therapy

  • It is used for skin rejuvenation, wrinkle improvement, and hair loss treatment, and is expected to play a role in supporting tissue regeneration and collagen production.

Treatment details of platelet-rich plasma therapy (PRP)

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) utilises growth factors such as PDGF, VEGF, and TGF-β to naturally promote healing and tissue regeneration.


(TGF-β):

• Regulates cell growth, differentiation, and migration.
• Plays an important role in tissue healing, collagen production, and scar tissue formation.


Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF):

• Promotes cell growth, motility and morphogenesis.
• Involved in tissue regeneration and repair, especially liver and kidney tissues.


Insulin-like growth factor (IGF):

• Promotes cell growth and division and aids in tissue repair and regeneration.
• Supports cartilage and bone formation and contributes to musculoskeletal healing.


Vascular growth factor-1 (VGF-1):

• Promotes angiogenesis and promotes the formation of new blood vessels, which is essential for tissue repair.
• Promotes blood circulation, aids in nutrient delivery and tissue healing process.

Areas that can be treated

① Counseling

First, we carefully listen to the patient's wishes. The doctor will then explain the purpose, treatment details, safety, etc. of regenerative medicine. We also diagnose the patient's condition.
