PRP PRP treatment

Regenerative medicine using platelets extracted and concentrated from the patient's own blood

In recent years, PRP treatment has been attracting a lot of attention in the fields of orthopedics and cosmetic medicine.
This is a groundbreaking regenerative medicine that makes maximum use of the power of the "growth factors" contained in your own blood to promote joint repair, skin rejuvenation, and joint repair.

"I want to be free from joint pain"
"I want to improve wrinkles and sagging skin that increase with age."
"I want to treat it in as natural a way as possible."

PRP treatment offers new possibilities for such wishes.

What is PRP treatment?

The body has an amazing ability to heal itself. Even if you fall and scrape your knee, it will heal naturally after a few days.
This is because platelets in the blood repair the damaged area.

PRP therapy utilizes the growth factors contained in platelets.

Platelets are collected from your own blood and used in treatment.
Since the blood contains more platelets than normal blood, a stronger repair effect can be expected.

Because your own blood components are used, the risk of rejection or allergies is extremely low.

"Growth factors" hold the key to repair ability

Growth factors are proteins that give various instructions to cells and are essential substances for the repair and regeneration of our bodies.
Platelets are rich in this growth factor.

Each growth factor has a specific role to play, and they work together to repair and regenerate tissue.

These growth factors interact with each other to produce a powerful regenerative effect that cannot be achieved by either factor alone.

Major growth factors and their functions
Growth factor	Main work	Expected effect
PDGFMore Platelet-derived Growth factor	Creating new blood vessels (angiogenesis) Promotes cell proliferation Activates collagen production	Promotes wound repair Improvement of wrinkles
EGF Epithelial cells Growth factor	Promotes skin cell growth Activates metabolism (turnover) Promotes cell regeneration	Skin texture Arrange Improves dullness
VEGF vascular endothelial cells growth factors	Promotes the formation of new blood vessels Improves blood flow Increased oxygen and nutrient supply to tissues	Revitalizing the organization Improves skin color
TGF-β 形質転換 Growth factor	Collagen and elastin Promoting production Activates histoblasts Promotes tissue repair	of articular cartilage repair Skin elasticity, Improved firmness
IGF-1 insulin-like Growth factor	Promotes cell growth and differentiation Activates protein synthesis Suppresses cell aging	Overall rejuvenation Anti-aging effect

Myths and Truths about PRP Treatment

It is true that there are complaints about PRP treatment, such as "I can't really feel the effects" or "I can't trust it." However, many of these evaluations are based on PRP that has insufficient quality control.

In fact, when PRP is prepared correctly and used at the correct time and in the correct area, it is one of the most effective treatments in regenerative medicine.

Differences in quality mean differences in results

The effectiveness of PRP treatment depends largely on the quality of the PRP used.
There are many "low-quality PRP" products on the market, such as the following:

Platelet concentration is not sufficiently concentrated (= lack of growth factors)
Produced in a non-sterile environment, posing an infection risk
Concentration and activity cannot be measured, so stable effects cannot be expected.

This type of PRP not only does not provide sufficient effectiveness, but in rare cases may cause severe side effects.

Differences in quality make differences in results. That's why high-quality PRP is important.

PRP treatment at our clinic

1 Thorough preparation of high-quality PRP

At our clinic, we are particular about the "concentration, purity, and activation" of PRP, and we strictly implement the following management system.

The PRP we use at our clinic is the highest quality PRP currently available, achieving high concentration, high safety, and maximized effectiveness.

Optimized Refining Process

High concentration of platelets through two-stage centrifugation
Stably maintains a platelet concentration equivalent to 3 to 5 times that of blood
Prepared in a way that does not damage growth factors

Ensuring a sterile working environment

All work is carried out on a medical clean bench
All equipment used is disposable
Thorough infection control measures and safety

Measurement of platelet concentration and activity

Platelet concentration is measured for each PRP to confirm its suitability for use.
Activation treatment promotes the release of growth factors

2 Flexible treatment plans tailored to your goals

The combination will be suggested by your doctor based on the examination and test results.

EXHIBITION MAP

1 PRP treatment alone

For those aiming to improve symptoms in the early stages
For those who are comparing and considering other treatment methods
For those who want to reduce downtime

2 Synergistic effects of combination therapy

PRP can be combined with other treatments to achieve even greater results.

Combined with laser treatment: Improves the speed and quality of skin regeneration

Used in combination with hyaluronic acid: Immediate and long-lasting effects

As a maintenance treatment: Prevents recurrence and maintains long-term effects

3 Appropriate administration method according to the area and symptoms

Depending on the patient's condition, PRP is delivered to the most effective area.
Injections are performed under ultrasound guidance if necessary.
It improves accuracy.

METHOD

1 Intra-articular injections (knee, shoulder, etc.)

Osteoarthritis
Joint inflammation and damage
For those who want to avoid surgery

2 Injections around tendons and ligaments

FAQ Frequently Asked Questions

How many treatments will I need?

Although it depends on the symptoms, a one-year treatment plan typically involves 1-3 sessions for joint treatment, and 3 sessions at 3-4 week intervals for cosmetic purposes. Additional sessions will be considered depending on the results.
Are there any side effects or downtime?

Because the patient's own blood is used, there is little risk of allergic or rejection reactions. Temporary swelling, bruising, and redness may occur at the injection site, but these will improve within a few days. Patients can resume their daily activities immediately after the procedure, and if facial injections are administered for cosmetic purposes, swelling or bruising can be easily covered with makeup. Patients should refrain from strenuous exercise for 2-3 days.
When can I start to see results?

PRP therapy is a treatment that stimulates the body's natural healing process, so it does not have an immediate effect. Generally, most patients begin to see cosmetic results after 1-2 weeks and cosmetic results after 2-4 weeks. The maximum effect is reached after 1-3 months. This gradual improvement allows for more natural and lasting results.
Is there anyone who cannot receive treatment?

Those with blood disorders, infections, malignant tumors, pregnant women, and those who are unable to give consent may not be eligible for treatment. Eligibility will be determined through a prior interview and examination.
