This advanced protocol delivers 75% more regenerative particles and 140% higher A2M concentrations compared to standard PRP, providing enhanced tissue repair capacity for athletes, active individuals, and those seeking superior healing outcomes. Each treatment is ultrasound-guided for maximum precision and therapeutic impact.

Amplified Healing.
Accelerated Recovery.
At Paragon Sports Medicine, we understand that optimal healing requires more than just platelets – it demands the full spectrum of your body's regenerative biology. SuperShot PRP represents the most complete platelet therapy available, utilizing a patented two-phase aqueous centrifugation system to capture low-density biomolecules that standard PRP processing discards.
While conventional PRP concentrates only platelets and growth factors, SuperShot additionally isolates extracellular vesicles containing critical proteins and microRNAs, plus Alpha-2-Macroglobulin, a powerful antiprotease that inhibits cartilage breakdown. Independent laboratory analysis confirms SuperShot delivers over one trillion extracellular vesicles per milliliter – 75% more than standard PRP – along with significantly higher A2M levels. When you need the most complete regenerative formulation available, SuperShot PRP provides enhanced biological response for superior long-term outcomes.

The Science Behind
Superior Results
SuperShot PRP takes regenerative medicine to the next level by delivering significantly higher concentrations of the essential growth factors your body needs to heal. This enhanced formulation includes:
Ultra-High Platelet Concentration
Delivers 5-7 billion platelets with PDGF, VEGF, IGF-1, TGF-β, and FGF to reduce inflammation, stimulate collagen production, and accelerate tissue repair.
75% More Extracellular Vesicles
Isolates over one trillion EVs per milliliter (2.7 x 10¹² particles/mL vs. 1.5 x 10¹² in standard PRP) containing proteins and microRNAs essential for tissue regeneration and healing.
140% Higher Alpha-2-Macroglobulin
Concentrates this large antiprotease protein that inhibits cartilage breakdown and reduces joint degeneration – typically lost in standard PRP processing.
Patented Two-Phase Processing
Uses a specialized aqueous centrifugation system requiring only one additional minute to capture low-density biomolecules while maintaining complete autologous purity.
Accelerated Healing Timeline
Higher growth factor concentrations can lead to faster symptom improvement and more complete tissue restoration.

SuperShot PRP Therapy:
Your Questions, Answered
SuperShot PRP achieves platelet concentrations 10-15 times higher than normal blood levels – nearly double that of standard PRP. This ultra-high concentration delivers significantly more growth factors to damaged tissue, creating a more powerful healing response. The advanced processing protocol requires specialized equipment and technical expertise to maximize concentration while maintaining cell viability. For severe injuries, chronic conditions that haven't responded to other treatments, or elite athletes requiring optimal tissue repair, SuperShot PRP provides enhanced regenerative capacity that standard PRP may not deliver.
SuperShot PRP is particularly beneficial for individuals with osteoarthritis or joint degeneration (where A2M's antiprotease properties help protect cartilage); chronic or recalcitrant tendon injuries like rotator cuff tears, tennis elbow, or Achilles tendinopathy; athletes seeking comprehensive tissue repair with sustained functional improvement; patients who want the most complete regenerative formulation available; and those seeking to avoid surgery for musculoskeletal conditions. During your consultation, Dr. Garten will assess whether SuperShot PRP's enhanced protocol is appropriate for your specific condition and healing goals.
Clinical data demonstrates SuperShot PRP provides superior sustained outcomes compared to standard PRP. Emerging research suggests that the higher platelet concentrations can provide superior outcomes for certain conditions, particularly severe osteoarthritis and recalcitrant tendinopathy. While individual results vary, many patients who choose SuperShot PRP experience more significant improvement or faster recovery compared to standard PRP protocols. The enhanced growth factor delivery creates a more robust biological response, which can translate to better tissue regeneration and longer-lasting results for challenging cases.
Recovery protocols mirror standard PRP with specific timeline considerations. You'll experience mild soreness for 24-72 hours post-injection. Initial healing begins within days, with peak improvements typically observed between 6-12 weeks. Clinical data shows sustained gains continuing through six months. You must avoid NSAIDs (ibuprofen, naproxen) for one week before treatment and 4-6 weeks afterward to optimize healing. Most patients require minimal activity modification and can return to normal daily activities within a few days, with gradual return to more demanding activities as tissue healing progresses. You'll receive a personalized rehabilitation plan optimized for SuperShot's healing timeline.
Most patients achieve significant results with a single SuperShot treatment due to the complete regenerative formulation. However, depending on injury severity, tissue condition, and individual healing response, Dr. Garten may recommend 1-2 injections for optimal outcomes. Because SuperShot delivers more comprehensive healing biology – including components that standard PRP discards – sustained improvement from a single treatment is common. Your personalized treatment plan will be developed based on comprehensive evaluation, condition severity, and therapeutic goals.
SuperShot PRP requires the patented centrifugation solution and additional processing steps beyond standard PRP, resulting in modestly higher costs. However, many patients find the investment worthwhile given the enhanced regenerative capacity (75% more EVs, 140% higher A2M) and demonstrated sustained outcomes at six months. The additional one-minute processing step adds minimal time while significantly enhancing the completeness of the formulation. Our office will discuss specific pricing during your consultation, including HSA/FSA documentation for this autologous blood derivative therapy.
Like all regenerative medicine procedures, SuperShot PRP is not typically covered by insurance as it is considered an autologous blood derivative therapy. Our office can provide documentation for HSA/FSA reimbursement and discuss payment options during your consultation.
