How it works
Three regenerative options
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) uses a small sample of your own blood. We spin it down to concentrate the platelets, which carry growth factors that can stimulate tissue repair.
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are adult cells that can renew themselves and develop into tissues like bone and cartilage.
Exosomes are tiny vesicles cells use to communicate. They send signals to reduce inflammation, build collagen and support repair.
