Platelet-rich plasma used in injections for cosmetic reasons is the same material that’s been successfully used by pain management physicians since the beginning of the 21st century. While the technique is still new to many physicians in various fields of medicine, more and more doctors are finding constructive uses for the all-natural substance. The plasma forms the liquid in your blood.

Platelets are the blood components that are used for clotting. Proteins by the hundreds are inherent in the platelets, many of which are called “growth factors.” The growth factors in your blood play an important role in self-healing; they automatically heal your soft tissue and your joints. PRP treatment becomes a safe alternative to harsher chemicals and surgery when taken from your system and injected into damaged joints and soft tissues in other parts of your body. In the past, PRP injections have successfully been used to treat:

• Back pain
• Tendonitis
• Ligament and muscle injuries
• Chronic neck pain
• Osteoarthritis
• Torn rotator cuffs
• The Perfect Cosmetic Adjunct

PRP therapy now serves as a treatment for many of the cosmetic flaws you may be looking to correct. It also works well in conjunction with numerous treatments our clinic already offers, including:

• Neuromodulators
• Fillers
• Laser treatments
• Microneedling
• Facial rejuvenation
• Body contouring

When performed by a trained expert, PRP treatment is completely safe. It provides exceptional benefits when used in conjunction with other aesthetic procedures. The platelets found in your own blood can so dramatically improve your appearance, you’d think that your face had gone through a real-life Photoshop.

In 2017, one of the newest uses for a plasma-rich platelet injection is to treat hair loss. The PRP therapy may counteract the effect of dihydrotestosterone (DHT) on the hairs on your head with the DHT receptor. It also resets the follicles and, in some cases, reverses your rapid loss of hair. At the very least, the regenerative treatment prevents further hair loss.

In addition to the cosmetic uses for PRP therapy that celebrities enjoy, top athletes have undergone PRP therapy to treat injuries and pain with amazing results. The body’s natural healing processes are turbo-charged when receiving increased concentrations of the growth factors found in platelet-rich plasma. While aging contributes to the changes in appearance that often have you turning to a top Aesthetic and Wellness Dr, that same ageing process also reduces your body’s ability to flood-damaged soft tissues with the healing properties it naturally possesses. Platelet-rich plasma therapy has been coined “regenerative therapy” because that is what the natural substance actually does when properly applied.
