Sanakin is a treatment involving autologous, cytokine-rich serum (ACRS) obtained from the person’s own blood. This treatment can offer the following benefits, especially in cases such as inflammation, cartilage damage, or calcification (osteoarthritis) in the knee:
Reducing Inflammation Since Sanakin contains natural anti-inflammatory molecules, it can alleviate the inflammatory process in the knee.
Supporting Tissue Regeneration Thanks to growth factors, the serum triggers the natural healing mechanisms of cartilage and soft tissues.
Pain Relief and Functional Improvement As inflammation decreases, pain may subside and knee mobility may increase. A few injection sessions may be recommended in clinics.
Safe and Biological Since it is obtained from the person’s own blood, the risk of allergy is low and it does not contain additional artificial additives.
