Peptide therapy & PRP — growth factors from your own plasma
Peptides and PRP work with growth factors, including those derived from your own plasma, to support tissue renewal. The method is part of the cluster's recovery and anti-age programmes. The protocol is tailored individually, following a consultation. The decision rests with the physician.
- Outpatient
- Mainly your own plasma
- On its own or within a programme
- Course — per the physician's plan
About the method
What is Peptide therapy & PRP
Your own blood contains “building material” for tissue renewal — growth factors. PRP (platelet-rich plasma) and peptide complexes use exactly these; the material is taken mainly from your own plasma.
It's a gentle support for natural regeneration. The method works both on its own and as part of a larger recovery or anti-age programme.
In addition, by specific indication, plasma purification by DFPP (a Japanese double-filtration plasma technology) may be considered — the physician decides after diagnostics.
How it works
The principle
A signal to repair
Growth factors act as “instructions” for cells — prompting division, renewal and nourishment of tissue in the target area.
Targeted or within a programme
Given precisely (skin, a joint, the hair zone) or as part of a comprehensive programme — the physician chooses the route.
Your own material — gently
Mainly your own plasma is used, so the approach is delicate and carries minimal risk.
Scientific basis
Origin and scientific basis
Facts about the method's origin, standards and quality control — what trust is built on. This is not a promise of a result: a physician decides whether it's right for you.
- PRP — decades in practice
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) has been used in sports medicine, orthopaedics and aesthetics for decades — an established approach, not an experiment.
- Peptides as bioregulators
Peptides are short protein chains involved in regulating the body's processes; they are studied as bioregulators of tissue repair.
- Prepared from your own blood
The preparation is isolated from your own plasma right before the procedure — to cluster standards and under specialist supervision.
Status and evidence
What is actually known about this method
Where other clinics print success rates, we print the regulatory status, the level of evidence and what that means for your expectations. Whether the method is used in your case is decided by the hospital's physician.
- Status in the zone
PRP is prepared from your own blood immediately before injection; as an autologous product it needs no registration and is used in the zone's hospitals under ordinary medical rules. Peptide complexes are prescribed by a physician.
- Registration worldwide
PRP preparation systems are registered as medical devices in the US, the EU and China. There is no separate “approval of PRP for osteoarthritis” anywhere — it is a technique, not a drug.
- Level of evidence
In knee osteoarthritis PRP is better studied than cell therapies: meta-analyses of randomised trials show pain reduction for 6–12 months compared with hyaluronic acid, with wide variation between protocols. In tendinopathies the data are mixed. The evidence base for peptides is weak.
- What this means for you
A supportive method with low risk and a moderate effect: it is usually the starting point, with cell programmes considered by indication. It does not replace surgery or joint replacement.

Who it's for
This may be relevant to you
Most people who consider this method recognise themselves in situations like these. It's not a prompt for self-treatment — whether it fits your case is decided by a physician after consultation and diagnostics.
- You prefer working with “your own”
You favour an approach based on your own plasma, without outside substances.
- Recovering from load
Sport, flights, a packed schedule — and your body needs proper recovery.
- Skin quality and tone
You notice your skin has lost firmness and freshness, and you want a delicate, natural approach.
- Hair and soft-tissue support
You're looking for a targeted solution for a specific goal — as assessed by a physician.
- Part of a larger programme
You're considering PRP as an element of a comprehensive anti-age or recovery programme.
The moment
Quite possibly what you've been looking for
The most common path into cellular medicine starts exactly here: PRP and peptides are the accessible first step into the cluster. A few days on the island give you more than a procedure — access to the whole ecosystem, from diagnostics to NK and MSC, if a physician sees the indications. Many discover this place precisely this way.
Why patients consider it
Why patients consider this method
These are reasons for interest in the method, not a promise of outcome: the physician sets the final decision and realistic expectations.
- Your own material
Mainly your own plasma is used — natural, with minimal risk.
- Delicate, no time out of your schedule
The procedure takes 40–60 minutes, usually without anaesthesia.
- Part of a programme you won't find at home
Here PRP and peptides work in concert with NK, MSC and LaViv — one programme that is hard to assemble in this form anywhere else; by indication, DFPP plasma purification can be added.
- Standards and privacy
Certified clinics of the Boao Lecheng zone, single-use materials, a personal coordinator and confidentiality.
Indications
When it may be considered
May be considered by a physician for the goals listed. A specialist determines suitability after consultation.
- Skin quality, tone and firmness
- Recovery after load and injury
- Hair and soft-tissue support
- High load and fatigue — by indication
- As part of comprehensive and anti-age programmes
Cost
Indicative cost
From approx. ¥5,800 (≈ $800)
What the figure is made of
- Your material, prepared for you
PRP is prepared from your own blood right before the procedure — isolation and enrichment are part of the visit's work.
- A course format
Usually several procedures 2–4 weeks apart; the estimate is built for the chosen area and number of sessions.
- An accessible entry point
One of the cluster's most accessible methods: many start here, adding NK or MSC by indication.
The exact cost is determined only after diagnostics — the programme is tailored individually, by indication. Payment is made directly to the cluster's clinic, by official invoice. For context: cells into the knee here cost ¥36,000 (≈ $5,000) per injection at the zone's registered price, against $35,000–50,000 in Western European clinics; a systemic infusion here is from ¥50,000 (≈ $6,950), against $20,000–22,000 in Japan and Switzerland.

Process
How it goes
- 1Diagnostics
Assessment of indications and preparation.
- 2Plasma preparation
Blood draw, isolation of growth factors and peptides.
- 3Procedure
40–60 minutes, usually without anaesthesia.
- 4Follow-up
The physician assesses dynamics.
A course is usually 1–2 procedures, 2–4 weeks apart. The effect is individual; the plan and realistic expectations are discussed with the physician at consultation.
Plus Chinese medicine
In one plan with TCM
A cell technology works on the tissue; pain, sleep, recovery and routine between courses are the work of Traditional Chinese Medicine. In the cluster the two can be combined in one plan on one trip — in mainland China, only here. The combination is prescribed by the physician after the work-up.
A 7-day TCM course is from ¥4,100 in procedures. How they are combined → · TCM programmes →
Outcomes
What to expect, and how progress is assessed
- A cumulative effect
Growth factors support natural recovery gradually; usually a course is needed, not a single procedure.
- Assessed individually
The physician assesses skin and tissue dynamics at follow-up visits; for aesthetic goals — by photo over time.
- What it targets
Support for skin quality, tissue recovery and hair — by indication, not a guaranteed result.
- Honest expectations
The effect is individual and depends on the starting state; realistic expectations are discussed with the physician.
Safety
Risks, tolerability and contraindications
Openness about safety is part of a responsible approach.
- Your own material
PRP is prepared from your plasma — the risk of allergy and rejection is minimal.
- Local reactions
At injection sites, temporary redness, swelling or small bruises are possible — usually resolving within a few days.
- Delicate
The procedure takes 40–60 minutes, usually without anaesthesia; single-use sterile materials are used.
- When it isn't performed
Contraindications usually considered include active infection in the area, clotting disorders, certain blood conditions and pregnancy — the physician decides.
Safety
Safety and support
PRP and peptides are prepared from your own blood — right before the procedure, with single-use sterile materials, under specialist supervision. No donor or synthetic material: so the risk of allergy or rejection is minimal. The procedure takes 40–60 minutes, usually without anaesthesia and outpatient — no time out of your schedule. A coordinator stays in touch after the visit too, including by telemedicine.
Diagnostics — the required first step
Every programme begins with a consultation and an accurate diagnosis (check-up). Treatment does not start without assessing indications and contraindications.
