Plate-Rich Plasma Therapy (PRP)
We are proud to offer PRP therapy, utilizing cutting-edge techniques to harness the body’s natural healing abilities for our patients.
Conditions Treated with PRP Therapy:
- 1. Orthopedic Injuries: PRP therapy has shown promising results in the treatment of orthopedic conditions such as tendonitis, ligament injuries, osteoarthritis, and muscle strains. By promoting tissue repair and reducing inflammation, PRP can accelerate the healing process and improve functional outcomes.
- 2. Hair Restoration: PRP therapy is increasingly used as a non-surgical option for hair loss treatment. When injected into the scalp, PRP stimulates hair follicles, promotes hair growth, and improves hair density, offering a natural and effective solution for individuals experiencing hair thinning or baldness.
- 3. Facial Rejuvenation: PRP therapy is widely recognized for its aesthetic benefits in facial rejuvenation. Also known as the “vampire facelift,” PRP is injected into the skin to promote collagen production, improve skin texture, and restore youthful volume, resulting in a more radiant and youthful appearance.
- 4. Chronic Wound Healing: PRP therapy has shown efficacy in the treatment of chronic wounds, including diabetic ulcers and pressure sores. By enhancing tissue regeneration and angiogenesis, PRP accelerates wound closure and reduces the risk of complications, improving outcomes for patients with non-healing wounds.
The PRP Procedure at Gessner Medical Center:
At Gessner Medical Center, our PRP procedure is performed by experienced medical professionals in a safe and sterile environment. The process involves the following steps:
- 1. Blood Collection: A small sample of the patient’s blood is drawn using a sterile technique.
- 2. Centrifugation: The blood sample is then centrifuged to separate the platelet-rich plasma from other blood components.
- 3. Activation (Optional): Depending on the treatment area, the PRP may be activated using calcium chloride or other activating agents to enhance its therapeutic effects.
- 4. Injection: The activated PRP is then carefully injected into the target area using precise techniques tailored to the patient’s needs and treatment goals.
- 5. Post-Treatment Care: Patients are provided with instructions for post-treatment care, including activity restrictions, wound care (if applicable), and follow-up appointments to monitor progress.
