EUPOTON vs PRP, HemaPure and cultured MSC: what's the difference?

A simple side-by-side comparison

Quick answer

EUPOTON takes 150 cc of autologous blood through oxygen, UV light, centrifugation and four-colour LED to activate cells and secretome; PRP spins blood mainly to concentrate platelets; HemaPure is wellness blood treatment with UV light and oxygen without cell separation; MSC therapy uses stem cells expanded in a lab before administration.

Key facts

EUPOTON
Own blood + O₂/UV + spin + LED + secretome
PRP
Spin to concentrate platelets
HemaPure
UV + oxygen, no separation
Cultured MSC
Lab-expanded cells

Clinical use
Subject to local approval and physician judgment

PRP: blood is spun for platelet-rich plasma, usually injected locally; some protocols use chemical activators, while EUPOTON uses red light instead.

HemaPure: blood receives oxygen and UV light and is returned — similar to EUPOTON's stages 1–2 — but EUPOTON adds separation, UVA and LED activation and the secretome.

Cultured MSC: cells from fat or marrow are expanded for weeks; in Korea this falls under the Advanced Regenerative Medicine law. EUPOTON does not culture cells; per the manufacturer it works from blood collected the same day.

The right option depends on goals, health status and each method's evidence; have a physician assess you individually.

Frequently asked questions

  • Is EUPOTON a type of PRP?

    It shares a centrifuge step with PRP but adds oxygen, UV and LED activation plus the secretome.

  • EUPOTON vs HemaPure?

    HemaPure applies oxygen and UV; EUPOTON adds cell separation and multi-stage light activation.

  • Is there a culture wait?

    No — EUPOTON does not culture cells.

  • Which is best?

    There is no single answer; it depends on goals and evidence — ask a physician.

  • Are EUPOTON, Euphoton and Uphoton the same thing?

    Yes. They are spellings of the same name: the manufacturer's deck uses EUPOTON, the EN600NT device panel reads EUPHOTON, and people also search for Uphoton.
