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.

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.
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.
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.

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.
