Feature We often hear PRP injections and stem cell treatment grouped together. For PRP injections, a physician uses the patient’s own blood to separate platelets in a centrifuge. The platelets are then re-injected into the injured area, releasing growth factors that promote natural tissue healing.

Stem cell therapy is a completely different process of extracting rejuvenating cells. For the procedure, stem cells from fat tissue used in conjunction with platelets. Stem cells from fat tissue are utilized with platelets to heal an osteoarthritic joint, for example, to repair cartilage and decrease inflammation.
