PRP Treatment (Platelet-rich Plasma)

Ovagenesis specializes in cutting-edge reproductive therapies, offering advanced ovarian rejuvenation treatments for women planning IVF with their own eggs, alongside innovative endometrial rejuvenation therapies for those facing challenges such as thin endometrial lining, recurrent implantation failure, or other uterine-related conditions. Ovagenesis offers:

• Endometrial rejuvenation — An advanced, supportive treatment designed to improve the health and function of the uterine lining. It aims to restore or enhance the endometrium’s quality and receptivity to increase the chances of embryo implantation and successful pregnancy. This option is especially beneficial for women experiencing repeated IVF failures, thin endometrium, or unexplained infertility.

• Endometrial rejuvenation with Exosomes (EXs) — Studies have shown that endometrial exosomes represent a promising, innovative approach to improving endometrial receptivity, thereby increasing IVF success rates. Exosomes are tiny, natural particles in the body that help cells heal and communicate. In fertility treatments, they improve uterine health and readiness for pregnancy. For women who haven’t had success with other methods, exosome therapy offers a hopeful new path to parenthood.

• Ovarian rejuvenation PRP FORTASC — This advanced treatment is designed for women whose ovaries respond poorly to stimulation. FORTASC PRP, combined with G-CSF, uses a special double-spin technique to create highly concentrated platelet-rich plasma, rich in natural growth factors that support ovarian function. The result is a faster, stronger, and more effective fertility boost. It is a promising approach for women who have not responded well to traditional IVF treatments.

• Ovarian rejuvenation PRP RENOVO2 — PRP Renovo2 is a gentle, advanced therapy using platelet lysate derived from the patient’s blood to support ovarian health. It helps repair ovarian cells, improve egg quality, and restore hormone balance. Safe and natural, with minimal side effects, this treatment is aimed at women with low ovarian reserve, early menopause, or fertility challenges. Many patients have seen improved AMH levels and better responses to fertility treatments.
