PRP/BMAC/PRF Injections
Nature of PRP/BMAC injections
PRP/BMAC injections are regenerative treatments designed to stimulate tissue repair within the knee joint. PRP uses concentrated platelets from the patient’s own blood, rich in growth factors, to promote healing in damaged tissues.
BMAC, on the other hand, involves harvesting stem cells from bone marrow to regenerate cartilage, ligaments, and tendons. Both treatments help reduce inflammation, improve joint mobility, and alleviate pain. By using the body’s natural healing abilities, PRP/BMAC injections provide a non-surgical option for repairing joint damage and slowing degeneration.
Common causes of joint problems treated by PRP/BMAC/PRF injections
Knee joint problems treated with PRP/BMAC injections are often caused by tissue damage, including:
Osteoarthritis: The breakdown of cartilage reduces joint lubrication and increases friction, causing pain and stiffness.
Tendon and ligament injuries: Damage to the ligaments or tendons around the knee can impair joint function and lead to chronic discomfort.
Chronic inflammation: Conditions like tendinitis or bursitis cause long-term inflammation, which can benefit from regenerative therapies to reduce pain and promote healing.
Previous knee surgeries: Past surgeries or injuries may have led to inadequate tissue healing, requiring further treatment to restore proper function.
Repetitive motion injuries: Activities that involve frequent stress on the knee joint can lead to small tears or chronic inflammation that PRP/BMAC injections can treat.
Diagnosis for PRP/BMAC injections
Diagnosis for PRP/BMAC injections starts with a clinical evaluation to assess the knee’s pain, swelling, and range of motion. Symptoms like persistent knee discomfort, stiffness, or instability, particularly after activity, are common signs that regenerative treatments may be beneficial.
Imaging techniques, such as X-rays, MRIs, or ultrasounds, help visualise cartilage damage, ligament tears, or tendon issues within the joint. Once the underlying cause of knee pain is confirmed and conservative treatments have been unsuccessful, PRP/BMAC injections may be recommended to promote healing and improve joint function.

Treatment overview
PRP
PRP involves taking a sample of the patient’s blood and spinning it into a centrifuge. This process will concentrate the platelets and growth factors. The blood is then reinjected into the patient, to promote the body’s own healing response.
BMAC
BMAC follows a similar process, but the process involves extracting bone marrow which is rich in stem cells. These stem cells are perfect for reducing inflammation and promoting healing. BMAC is more invasive, as the sample must be taken from the bone. BMAC might require fewer sessions compared to PRP.
PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin)
PRF is a next-generation regenerative therapy that uses the patient’s own blood—similar to PRP, but spun at a lower speed without anticoagulants. This process creates a fibrin matrix rich in platelets, leukocytes, and growth factors. The resulting product is more stable and releases healing factors over a longer period, making it ideal for soft tissue healing.

Treatment Booking Process
01
Online booking/callUse our website to book an initial consultation, or give us a call.
02
ConsultationOur doctors might request you arrange a scan before your initial consultation. Or, they’ll chat with you (face to face or online) and recommend a scan after your initial consultation, if they think you need one.
03
TreatmentOnce your scan results have been reviewed, and your doctor has explained your options, you will be booked in for treatment.
04
RehabFollowing your treatment, your doctor will give you rehab recommendations.
05
Follow UpYou will be booked in for a follow-up consultation, so your doctor can check your progress. You might need further rehab after this consultation.
06
DischargeOnce your doctor is happy with your recovery, you will be discharged. After discharge, we are always here for further questions or support, should you need it.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the differences between PRP, PRF, and BMAC?
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma):
Uses your blood to extract platelets, which are injected to boost healing. Best for mild injuries like ligament sprains.
PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin):
A slower-releasing version of PRP, made without additives. Ideal for moderate injuries needing longer healing support.
BMAC (Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate):
Taken from your bone marrow, BMAC contains stem cells for severe or degenerative conditions like osteoarthritis.
What is the difference between PRP and PRF?
Are there any side effects?
How long until I notice results?
PRP: Initial improvements seen in 4-6 weeks, treatment effects can last as long as 6-12 months.
BMAC: Initial improvements seen in 3 months, treatment effects can last as long as 6-12 months.
