In recent years, doctors have learned to manipulate the bodies ability to heal itself. PRP is a form of regenerative medicine that harnesses and amplifies the natural growth factors found in our blood cells to help re-grow tissue. We can concentrate these healing actors in a way that your body can’t, and we deposit this “package” of your bodies own growth factors (via a needle) to allow your very own mix of repair cells to rebuild tissue. It is also known as autologous treatment. Doctors have been using PRP to treat joints and muscles for over 30 years. We have been using PRP in skin tissue for over a decade.
There is a cosmetic origin for this mode of treatment.
Cosmetics: Full face, neck, stretch marks, scarring
Wound care: Currently studying effects of PRP in wounds. Collaborating with a dermatologist to measure cytokine neogenesis through punch biopsy to measure tissue and collagen regeneration.
Knees, hip, elbow and ankle joints: I inject PRP into your troubled joints to facilitate tissue regeneration. Most of the patients that see me are the ones who have “tried everything” and wanted to give PRP a chance. I have had some wonderful success stories.
