Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP)
What is Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy?
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy is a therapy that uses injections of a concentration of a patient's own platelets to promote healing of injured tendons, ligaments, muscles and joints. It is also successfully used for pain management, cosmetic rejuvenation, hair and sexual restoration.
Harnessing your patient's own HEALING + GROWTH factors
With minimal upfront cost, you can safely offer Platelet Rich Plasma, an autologous treatment with zero side effects, which can promote healing. This new technology is changing the way doctors treat pain, injury and aging for their patients.
PAIN MANAGEMENT
PRP injections (or platelet rich plasma therapy) is a new treatment method that relieves pain by promoting long lasting healing of musculoskeletal conditions. This rapidly emerging technique is showing exciting potential with osteoarthritis of the knee, shoulder, hip and spine, rotator cuff tears, chronic plantar fasciitis, anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries, pelvic pain and instability, back and neck injuries, tennis elbow, ankle sprains, tendonitis, and ligament sprains
COSMETIC REJUVENATION
When injected into the skin, PRP stimulates new collagen and elastin formation. Newer studies show that it can also soften sun damage while smoothing and tightening skin. It is an effective treatment in correcting common age-related skin concerns such as dark circles and hollows under the eyes, find lines, sagging, decreased firmness and uneven tone. The treatment will leave the patient looking more youthful and rejuvenated.
HAIR RESTORATION
New advances in the use of PRP to help reverse hair loss gives almost anyone the opportunity to turn things around. In this medical treatment for hair loss, PRP is used to stimulate the hair follicles, reversing the hair miniaturization seen in common hair thinning. The platelets are injected throughout the area that is thinning or balding, which supplies the nutrients required to continue growing thicker, fuller and healthier hair strand.
Although the procedures are slightly different for men and women, both utilize platelet rich plasma (PRP) injected into specific locations in the vagina or on the penis to enhance, rejuvenate, and restore function. PRP can return moisture, sensation, and smooth muscle control to the vagina and urethra in women. In men , PRP can enhance girth, sensation, and control through micro vascularization. This treatment may also help to correct urinary incontinence in both sexes.
