How to make your own blood’s platelet-rich plasma work for you
Scientists have known for years that omnipotent stem cells lie dormant in the skin and provide the building blocks for healing when you sustain a burn or cut. Until recently, physicians had no convenient way to stimulate those stem cells to grow new tissue.
Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) is rapidly becoming one of the most useful natural treatments for rejuvenation throughout the body. Most recently, PRP’s benefits in aesthetic medicine, sexual wellness, and hair regrowth have been discovered and the long list of its benefits continues to grow.
The benefits of PRP were initially used in wound healing, dentistry, and the treatment of sports injuries, but now have evolved to address aesthetic concerns and physiological dysfunction. PRP is one of the most advanced, effective natural treatments for cellular rejuvenation throughout the body.
The human body has a remarkable capacity to heal itself. Regeneration of new tissue is accomplished by the natural production of stem cells. PRP involves concentrated platelets rich in bioactive proteins, which release growth factors to stimulate cellular regeneration and accelerate tissue repair.
Regeneration and Rejuvenation Through PRP
Using the body’s own resources is at the forefront of modern regenerative medicine. Maxim Medical Center brings you the cutting-edge technology that can both rejuvenate your skin, let you enjoy sex again, and treat age- or injury-related joint and ligament issues. Most procedures require no down time and are minimally invasive and virtually pain-free.
How PRP Works
Your blood contains red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets, the latter of which are best known for their blood-clotting function essential to the healing of injuries. We use special technology to separate platelets that contain proteins called growth factors from the rest of your blood. We then re-inject this platelet-rich plasma back into the affected areas and let your blood do the work for you by stimulating existing stem cells to regenerate new tissue.
PRP Safety
Because PRP is generated by your own body, it negates the risk for allergic reactions or side effects, with most procedures lasting just minutes and very little to no pain. While it only recently expanded into the field of aesthetics and cosmetology, PRP has been around since the 1970s in dentistry and wound-care, and no serious complications have been reported.
Eligible conditions
Health and cosmetic conditions that can benefit from PRP include:
- Skin: wrinkles, acne scar, rosacea, sagging skin
- Hair regrowth
- Orthopedic joint and ligament conditions and injuries
