Growth factor injections are a treatment option that can help with a variety of conditions, including chronic tendinopathy, skin rejuvenation, and painful joints:

​

• Chronic tendinopathy

  Injections can be made from autologous whole-blood or platelet-rich plasma (PRP) to treat conditions such as wrist-flexor and -extensor tendinopathies, plantar fasciopathy, and patellar tendinopathy. A systematic review found that patients reported a 66% improvement in pain or function over a 9.4 month follow-up period.

​

• Skin rejuvenation

  PRP injections can help smooth out skin imperfections and give a healthy glow. The treatment involves processing a patient's blood in a centrifuge to concentrate the platelets and plasma, then injecting it into the skin.

​​

• Painful joints

  Natural growth factor injections can be used to treat painful joints caused by injuries to ligaments, tendons, joints, or muscles. The injections release growth factors that increase the number of reparative cells in the body, which can speed up the healing process and relieve pain.
