Regenerative Medicine
As it contains your own platelet-rich plasma, PRP injections are one of the most natural therapies available.
Plasma is a vital component of our blood and contains factors and proteins which stimulate immune cells.
When injected, concentrated plasma may expedite the healing process and promote cell growth.
PRP (platelet-rich plasma) injections maximize your body’s healing power by creating a healthy inflammatory response which stimulates the body’s growth factors and immune cells. These cells help regenerate the tissue in the area of injection to improve function and decrease pain. The versatility of PRP allows us to help patients with chronic conditions and acute injuries, as well as those seeking treatment for facial, acne, or surgical scarring, wrinkles, and even hair loss. The team at Rejuvenate Medical Group is ready to show you what your body is capable of achieving.
PRP injections are commonly used to help improve chronic conditions resulting from injured tendons, ligaments, muscles, etc., but may also be beneficial for some acute injuries, post-surgical recovery and osteoarthritis.
The key ingredients of PRP injections are platelets, which contain growth factors. Their primary function is to create a blood clot during injury to stop bleeding and promote cell growth during healing. Injecting PRP into damaged tissue may expedite the healing process by enabling the body to grow or, more accurately, continue to grow healthy, new cells. Once platelets have been extracted and activated, they are directly injected into the damaged, injured, or diseased tissue, releasing concentrated growth factors which can stimulate tissue repair.
Patients struggling with surgical scarring, wrinkles, or hair loss can also benefit from PRP treatments. Microdermabrasion and/or microneedling, followed by the application of platelet-rich plasma to the skin, stimulates cell turnover.
Our blood is composed of red blood cells and serum, which houses white blood cells and platelets. Platelets are rich in growth factors, essentially acting as energy boosts for our scalp and skin. These growth factors help to optimize everything from collagen to elastin, while increasing antioxidant and hydrating properties.
