Overview: What Is the Super Growth PRP Program?
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) is a medical treatment that uses the patient’s own blood to help repair and regenerate damaged tissue. The platelets in PRP contain proteins that stimulate cell growth and tissue healing, making PRP an effective option for treating knee osteoarthritis. However, the quality of the patient’s blood plays a key role in the success of this treatment.
This is where the Super Growth PRP Program comes in. It’s an enhanced version of standard PRP, where the patient’s blood is refined to increase its healing potential. Even if a patient’s blood is not initially of high quality, this program helps improve it. So the effectiveness of the treatment no longer depends solely on the original condition of the patient’s blood.
Comparison: Super Growth PRP vs. Standard PRP
Summary
Both PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) and Super Growth PRP are regenerative treatment techniques that follow the same core principle: a small amount of the patient’s own blood is drawn, processed to concentrate the platelets, and then injected back into the affected area—typically the knee joint. These concentrated platelets are rich in growth factors that help accelerate tissue repair and regeneration, especially in cases of osteoarthritis.
What sets Super Growth PRP apart from standard PRP is the level of platelet concentration, the technology used in the preparation process, and the additional step of enhancing blood quality before reinjection. While standard PRP typically achieves a platelet concentration of about 2 to 5 times that of normal blood, Super Growth PRP uses advanced techniques to isolate a much higher concentration. Moreover, it includes a refinement step that helps improve the biological quality of the plasma, enabling the treatment to be effective even in patients whose natural blood quality may not be optimal.
This makes Super Growth PRP not only more powerful but also more consistent in its healing outcomes. Patients often experience faster results and a shorter recovery period compared to standard PRP.
Additionally, Super Growth PRP is prepared in a way that minimizes contamination by white blood cells, which can sometimes cause inflammation. Because of this, it is particularly suitable for athletes, patients with moderate to advanced joint degeneration, or those who need a more intensive regenerative response. It’s also beneficial for individuals with underlying health conditions—such as diabetes—that may affect blood composition and healing capacity.
In summary, while both treatments share the same foundation, Super Growth PRP is a more refined, targeted, and effective option, especially for patients who are seeking faster and more reliable joint recovery.
Procedure: Step-by-Step PRP Treatment for Knee Osteoarthritis
Step 1: Blood Collection from the Patient
At BBL Wellness Center, our nurse will draw a small amount of blood from the patient, typically 10–15 cc, which is only about 0.2–0.3% of the total blood volume in the body.
This amount has no negative effect on the patient’s overall health and can naturally replenish within 1–2 days.
Step 2: Platelet Concentration through High-Speed Centrifugation
Once the blood is collected, it is taken to our medical lab where it undergoes a specialized centrifugation process. Using our advanced techniques, the blood is spun to isolate the most concentrated platelets—rich in growth factors essential for healing.
This step takes approximately 15–30 minutes and is crucial for optimizing the quality of the final PRP.
Step 3: Injecting the Concentrated Platelets into the Knee Joint
Once the platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is ready, our medical team carefully injects it directly into the affected knee area.
The injection is performed using a precise technique to ensure that the high-concentration growth factors reach the targeted tissue.
This step takes approximately 15–30 minutes and is essential for maximizing the therapeutic quality of the PRP.
