Promotes cell regeneration
It helps the recovery process of damaged cells by using growth factors and DNA fragments.

REGENERATIVE INJECTION
What is regenerative injection?
It is not an injection that only turns off pain signals.
Regenerative injection is a treatment that helps the body heal itself by directly injecting regeneration-promoting substances into damaged muscles, ligaments, tendons, joints, cartilage, and discs.
Rather than temporarily relieving pain like painkillers and steroids, it helps weakened tissues become stronger again.
WHO NEEDS IT
I recommend regenerative injections to these people.
- People who have taken painkillers and anti-inflammatory medications for a long time but have recurring pain
- People whose steroid injection effects are gradually shortening
- People with unstable joints due to weak ligaments and tendons
- Those who have been recommended surgery but want to try non-surgical treatment first
- People with cartilage and disc damage due to degenerative changes
- Those who have slow recovery or remain in pain after surgery
WHY REGENERATIVE
Why Regenerative Injections Are Necessary
The approach of temporarily blocking pain signals is different from the approach of creating a recovery environment for damaged tissue.

INJECTION TYPES
Types of regenerative injections
Select or combine the appropriate injection depending on the area and degree of damage.
TYPE 01
Prolotherapy
Prolotherapy
A high-concentration glucose solution is injected into the damaged area to cause a micro-inflammatory response, and in the process, promote collagen synthesis and tissue reconstruction.
- chronic ligament laxity
- joint instability
- Tennis elbow, golf elbow
- plantar fasciitis
TYPE 02
PRP injection
Platelet-Rich Plasma
Platelets are concentrated and extracted from your own blood, and plasma rich in growth factors is injected into the damaged area.
- Rotator cuff tear or injury
- degenerative arthritis
- Achilles tendon damage
- Accelerates recovery after surgery
TYPE 03
PDRN injection
Polydeoxyribonucleotide
DNA fragments extracted from salmon and trout stimulate the secretion of growth factors. It is used for chronic pain and tissue recovery by suppressing inflammation and promoting blood vessel regeneration.
- chronic tendon injury
- Degeneration of tissue around the disc
- Intractable pain area
- When tissue regeneration is slow
TARGET TISSUES
Which organizations does it apply to?
Regenerative injections can be considered for use in injuries throughout the musculoskeletal system.
target organizationMajor injuries/diseaseApply injection
musclesChronic muscle pain, myofascial pain syndrome, recovery after muscle ruptureProlo, PRP, PDRN
tendonTendinitis, tendinopathy, Achilles tendon injury, rotator cuff injuryPRP
ligamentsLigament relaxation, sprain sequelae, joint instabilityProlo, PRP, PDRN
Joints/CartilageDegenerative arthritis, cartilage wear, damage within the joint spacePRP
Intervertebral disc (disc)Disc degeneration, ligament relaxation around the disc, chronic back painProlo, PRP, PDRN
EXPECTED EFFECTS
Changes that can be expected after regenerative injection treatment
When the tissue recovers, we look at not only pain but also changes in function and structure.
- 01Restoration of strength and elasticity of damaged ligaments and tendons
- 02Increased joint stability and reduced risk of re-injury
- 03Chronic pain gradually decreases and lasts for a long time
- 04Reduced dependence on painkillers and anti-inflammatory drugs
- 05Reduces the speed of cartilage and disc degeneration
- 06Natural return to daily life and exercise
The expected changes and speed of recovery will vary depending on the severity of the injury and your individual condition.
TREATMENT PROCESS
Regenerative Injection Treatment Procedure
There are four stages from diagnosis to recovery management.
- 01
precise diagnosis
Ultrasound and imaging tests are used to determine how much damage has occurred. - 02
custom composition
Depending on the type of damage, an appropriate combination of Prolo, PRP, and PDRN is determined. - 03
precise injection
While watching the ultrasound, the medication is administered precisely to the damaged area. - 04
recovery care
After the procedure, we monitor the progress and provide rehabilitation guidance and a plan for additional treatment.
PROVEN SAFETY
Safety of regenerative injection
01 · ULTRASOUND GUIDED
Ultrasound-guided precision treatment
Inject precisely into the desired area while watching the real-time video.
02 · STEROID-FREE
Steroid-free
It utilizes the body's natural healing ability to reduce the burden of tissue weakness.
03 · EVIDENCE-BASED
proven treatment
Treatment methods that have been used in domestic and international clinical trials are applied according to the condition.
04 · SAME-DAY RETURN
Return to daily routine on the same day
In most cases, you can return to your daily routine right after the procedure.
FAQ
Regenerative Injection Frequently Asked Questions
01How are regenerative injections different from steroid injections?
Steroid injections quickly suppress inflammation and pain but do not restore the tissue itself. Regenerative injections aim to restore structure by injecting substances that induce regeneration into damaged tissues.
02If I get a regenerative injection, will the effect appear immediately?
Because it is a treatment that induces tissue regeneration, changes occur gradually over 2 to 4 weeks rather than immediate pain relief. There are differences depending on individual condition.
03Which is better: Prolotherapy or PRP?
Prolotherapy has strengths in strengthening ligaments and tendons, and PRP has strengths in extensive regeneration using autologous platelet growth factors. Single or combined treatments are designed depending on the area and extent of damage.
04Will there be any disruption in daily life after the procedure?
In most cases, it is completed within 10 to 20 minutes and you can return to your daily routine the same day. Depending on the treatment area, there may be mild stiffness for 1-2 days, so it is recommended to refrain from strenuous exercise for 3-5 days.
05Are regenerative injections safe?
PRP uses autologous blood and is precisely performed with ultrasound guidance. After checking the patient's condition and medications, we determine whether it is appropriate.
06For what symptoms is regenerative injection applied?
It is applied to chronic ligament and tendon damage, degenerative joint disease, tissue damage around the disc, delayed recovery after surgery, and repetitive musculoskeletal pain.
CONSULTATION
The appropriate regenerative injection varies depending on the damaged area and tissue condition.
The examination and treatment plan will be explained directly by the specialist after your visit.
