A Patient's Guide to Understanding
Regenerative Medicine

Yes! Because the blood drawn is used for treatment on the same patient, there is no risk of a transmissible infection or allergic reaction. These therapies are a safe, nonsurgical treatment option for most chronic pain conditions, injury repair, and aesthetic abnormalities and rejuvenation.

When you have a wound or injury, your body delivers platelets to that area to heal. While your body has these healing factors, the process can be slow or ineffective depending on the wound or blood supply to the area. With PRP, doctors not only deliver those platelets to the affected area but also deliver them in higher concentrations to accelerate the healing process.

The platelets that are used in PRP treatments come from your own body, which means there are relatively no side effects or allergies associated with the treatment. Only mild soreness in the area generally occurs.

While it is easy to get the two injections confused, they are quite different. In fact, studies have shown that PRP is generally more effective than cortisone injections. Unlike cortisone injections, data has shown that PRP is more effective in long term results as cortisone treatments tend to wear off quickly and don’t regenerate tissues in the body as well.

Not all PRP is the same. Our PRP concentration system offers a better processing technique for physicians to maximize patient outcomes. These systems yield higher concentrations of platelets for better results.
