How Does it Work?

REGENERATIVE MEDICINE is the production and injection of autologous platelet rich plasma.

 It is well known that platelets have many functions. Platelets contain important growth factors that, when secreted, are responsible for:

• Tissue regeneration and rejuvenation
• increasing collagen production
• recruiting other cells to the site of injury
• initiating vascular in – growth
• inducing cell differentiation
• bone – mineralization
• extra cellular matrix formation
• Non – Allergenic
• It is a ‘body own’ physiological product vs. animal derived or human donor products.
• Elimination of donor transmissible infections
• Biological Glue: for tissue adhesion especially in skin flaps, bone grafts and trauma.

These are vital steps in collagen regeneration and wound healing.

THE PROCESS IS -

• SAFE and Physiologically Active
• Preparation is Simple and Quick, and completed on the Physicians premises in the appointment time. No products are sent off premises.
• Can be used in multiple areas for dermal rejuvenation

Prior to treatment a blood sample of 10 – 20 mls is extracted from the patient. This blood is immediately placed in the centrifuge for 5 – 8 minutes. When centrifugation is complete your Plasma will be separated into three layers: (1) platelet – poor plasma, ( 2) red blood cells , and (3) the ‘buffy coat’ ( i.e. platelets and white blood cells) from your red blood cells. The rich platelets are extracted from the base of the plasma gel. The platelets are injected into the deep dermis or fat layer of the skin. Platelets gradually increase collagen which can increase skin thickness and overall health of the skin.

HOW LONG IS THE PROCEDURE FROM START TO FINISH?

Approx 45mins to 1 hour per two test tubes.
