Regenerative medicine focuses on repairing or replacing damaged tissue and cells. Unlike traditional treatments, which often rely on drugs or surgery to mask the symptoms of disease, regenerative medicine aims to restore the body to its normal state. At Hector L Di Carlos in Fort Lauderdale, FL, we offer PRP treatments to address a wide range of health and skin conditions.
PRP Overview
PRP therapy is a type of regenerative medicine that uses the patient’s own platelets to promote healing. Platelets are cells in the blood that are responsible for clotting and wound healing. When an injury occurs, platelets are attracted to the site of the injury and release growth factors that stimulate the production of new cells.
The treatment takes advantage of this natural healing process by injecting a concentration of platelets into the injured area. This helps to speed up the body’s healing response and promotes the growth of new tissue. Another great thing about this treatment is that it has no downtime. That means you don’t have to miss work or school, and you can get back to your normal activities right away.
Platelet-Rich Plasma for Cosmetic Treatments
Platelet concentrate injections are often used to treat wrinkles, scars, and other signs of aging. The platelets in the blood encourage the growth of new collagen, which helps to smooth out wrinkles. The treatment can also be used with microneedling to improve results. Microneedling creates tiny channels in the skin, which helps the platelets to penetrate deeper into the skin and promote collagen production.
Platelet injections are also sometimes used to treat sexual health concerns such as erectile dysfunction or vaginal dryness. Injections into the penis can encourage new tissue growth, resulting in a larger penis. Injections into the vagina can help to increase lubrication and sensation. Below is an overview of some of the problems that we can treat with platelet-rich plasma injections:
Wrinkles
Wrinkles are a common sign of aging, and many people strive to reduce their appearance. While there are a variety of treatments available, some patients may be interested in exploring the benefits of platelet injections with microneedling.
Microneedling creates tiny injuries in the skin, stimulating the production of collagen. When combined with platelet injections, microneedling can help to tighten the skin and smooth out wrinkles more effectively. The platelet-rich plasma also contains growth factors that play an essential role in the healing process, making this an ideal treatment for those looking to fight back the signs of aging.
Scars
We also offer platelet injections to help improve the appearance of scars. When injected into the scar tissue, platelets can help break down old collagen and promote the production of new collagen. This can lead to significant improvement in the appearance of scars, including reductions in size, redness, and indentation.
In some cases, platelet injections can also help to soften the texture of scars and reduce the formation of new scar tissue. To assess whether you are a candidate for this treatment, we will first evaluate your scar. If we determine that injections are likely to be effective, we will create a customized treatment plan for you.
Skin Rejuvenation
Skin rejuvenation is a process of repairing and increasing the skin’s collagen production to achieve a youthful appearance. Due to its high concentration of growth factors and other rejuvenating properties, platelet-rich plasma has become a popular treatment for skin rejuvenation. The therapy can help to improve skin texture and elasticity as well as help achieve an even skin tone.
What’s more, the effects of platelet injections can last for several months. To maintain results, most people will need to receive follow-up treatments every few months. However, even just a single treatment can provide significant results. If you’re interested in exploring platelet injections for skin rejuvenation, be sure to consult with us.
Vaginal Rejuvenation
After childbirth and as a woman ages, her vaginal tissues can become stretched, thinner, and less elastic. This may lead to a loss of sensation during sex, which can be frustrating for both partners. In addition, the weaker muscles and connective tissues can cause incontinence or prolapse, in which the organs in the pelvis fall out of place. While there are surgical options to address these issues, they are often costly and require a lengthy recovery period.
When injected into the vaginal tissues, platelets can help to stimulate collagen production, improve blood flow, and promote the tightening of damaged tissue. As a result, platelet injections can provide significant improvements in vaginal lubrication and overall function. Moreover, because platelets are derived from the patient’s own blood, there is no risk of allergic reaction or rejection.
Penis Enlargement
Platelet injections for penis enlargement are a relatively new and exciting concept that holds a lot of promise. When injected into the tissue of the penis, the growth factors promote the growth of new tissue and blood vessels. This can lead to increased penile size and girth.
Additionally, platelet injections can improve sexual function and sensation. The results are not permanent, but they may last for up to two years. For many men, this may be an appealing alternative to surgery or other more invasive penis enlargement methods.
