Regenerative Treatments for Optimal

HEALTH, HEALING & VITALITY

The Power of Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP)

The human body has a remarkable capacity to heal itself. Regeneration of new tissue is accomplished by the natural production of stem cells. PRP involves the application of concentrated platelets rich in bioactive proteins, which release growth factors to stimulate cellular regeneration and accelerate tissue repair. The benefits of PRP were initially used in wound healing, dentistry and the treatment of sports injuries, but have now evolved to address aesthetic concerns and physiological dysfunction. Platelet Rich Plasma is one of the most advanced, effective natural treatments for cellular rejuvenation throughout the body.

HOW DOES PRP WORK?

A PRP treatment begins with a simple blood draw and can be completed within an hour. Your blood is spun in a unique centrifuge that separates plasma and platelets from the rest of the blood. The plasma, now highly concentrated with rich platelets, is collected in syringes and is injected back into your tissues, where needed. The growth factors stimulate stem cells to create new, youthful tissue, including areas in the face, scalp, sex organs, muscles and joints. It’s like turning back the clock and what was old and damaged is made new and repaired. It’s the essence of regenerative medicine and the beauty of it is the PRP procedures utilize what your body has produced, so your body will readily accept the treatment without reaction or rejection. PRP procedures are minimally invasive and typically patients experience very little discomfort with no downtime.

ADVANTAGES OF USING PRP

Since PRP is extracted from your own blood, it alleviates the risk of allergic reaction, rejection or skin sensitivity. Platelet Rich Plasma therapy is swiftly becoming one of the most popular treatment methods to address a variety of health and cosmetic concerns including:

◆ Wrinkled or sagging skin ◆ Acne ◆ Rosacea ◆ Urinary Incontinence ◆ Hair Regrowth◆ Frown lines, crow’s feet ◆ Scarring ◆ Erectile Dysfunction ◆ Sexual Wellness ◆ Pain Relief

Research suggests as the study of this technology continues, PRP therapies may eventually be able to treat a host of medical conditions as the benefits continue to grow.

Sexual Wellness for Women
Sex has become a centerpiece of modern culture. It is up for discussion everywhere
– radio, TV, movies and even unexpected places, like the office or in schools. But, the one place sex isn’t being discussed is in your doctor’s office - an omission that can keep you from achieving and maintaining an optimal sex life – for your whole life. In fact, female sexual dysfunction is not a small problem: 50% of women experience some degree of low libido and dysfunction.

If your sex life - regardless of your age - has taken a nosedive, either because it is painful, unexciting due to lack of arousal, you suffer from vaginal dryness or urinary dysfunction, there is a new simple treatment that can bring back desire and so much more!

THE PRP METHOD

The technique is a revolutionary nonsurgical treatment that uses the patient’s own blood platelets to activate growth factors that rejuvenate the female orgasm system, allowing more blood flow to the organ, enhancing sensitivity and delivering dramatic improvement in sexual function.

The Platelet Rich Plasma containing growth factors extracted from your blood is then injected into an area near the clitoris and into the area of the upper vagina that is most important for the sexual response. These areas are numbed with a local anesthetic cream before injection, causing patients to experience little or no discomfort during the procedure.

HOW IT WORKS

Women often enjoy some effects of the procedure almost immediately, as the growth factors begin to rejuvenate and enhance the sexual response. Women receiving the procedure have reported an increase in their sexual response within days and weeks of the treatment – and for many, issues with incontinence are completely resolved.

“I was getting up 3 times a night to use the bathroom. After my first PRP procedure a year ago, I’ve been sleeping through the night.”

COMBINATION THERAPY for Total Wellness & Rejuvenation

Research is showing that combining PRP with other regenerative therapies can optimize treatment results. Different therapies and technologies have different targets and different mechanisms of action to help individual patient goals. They can work synergistically to create a better result than using only one mode of therapy.

Some therapies often combined with PRP to enhance sexual wellness in women include:◆ Radio Frequency Energy (RF)
◆ Low Level Shockwave or Pulse Wave Therapy
◆ Bioidentical Hormone Therapy

◆ Pelvic Floor Devices
◆ And many more as regenerative technologies continue to grow

BENEFITS

Although each woman’s experience may differ in some ways, many patients report:

◆ Decreased pain for those with dyspareunia (painful intercourse)
◆ Decreased or resolved urinary incontinence (both urge and stress problems)

◆ Greater arousal from clitoral stimulation
◆ Younger, smoother skin of the vulva (lips of

the vagina)
◆ A tighter introitus (vaginal opening)

◆ Stronger orgasm

◆ More frequent orgasms
◆ Increased sexual desire
◆ Increased ability to have a vaginal orgasm ◆ Increased natural lubrication

Sexual Wellness for Men

The form and function of your penis can have a dramatic effect on your relationships. Being unable to achieve or maintain a satisfactory erection or even feeling the size is inadequate can impact your esteem in and out of the bedroom.

In the past, men had very few options for treating erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation or addressing penis girth. These issues are private, personal and sometimes might feel embarrassing. It is quite normal to be a bit uncomfortable talking to your doctor about sexual dysfunction. Today, advanced technology allows expert physicians to offer men solutions for a variety of sexual issues!

THE PRP METHOD

This technique is designed to deliver lasting improvements in sexual performance to men, especially those who have lost function due to an enlarged prostate, prostate cancer, the after-effects of surgery, drug side effects and other conditions including diabetes.

Unlike many of the other solutions for male sexual dysfunction, the procedure is a stress-free treatment. You don’t have to fear side effects, such as stroke, headaches, heart attacks or erections that last for hours.

Platelet Rich Plasma is injected into areas of the penis that are most important for the sexual response. These areas are numbed with a local anesthetic cream before injection, yielding little or no discomfort during the procedure.

HOW IT WORKS

PRP contains many growth factors and has the regenerative ability to stimulate healing and rejuvenation. The benefits typically include tissue proliferation that increases growth of new blood vessels and improved circulation within the penis, resulting in stronger erections, increased sensation, pleasure and enhanced sexual performance. Some men report changes in girth and length of the penis. Many of these benefits are experienced immediately after receiving the injection. And, because the treatment uses the patient’s own blood derived plasma, it is non-allergenic and free of harmful side effects.

“I’m thrilled to be able to spontaneously satisfy my wife and not rely on a pill to have an erection.”

◆ Enhanced appearance
◆ Improves or resolves prostate discomfort ◆ Improves or resolves urinary incontinence

Many men experience added benefits from the treatment, achieving not only improved sexual function, but a boost in desire as well.

Is PRP Hair Regeneration Right for You?
Hair is a fleeting luxury for many people. Millions of people – men and women – struggle with hair loss. The reasons for hair loss vary: disease, genetics,

stress and hormonal imbalance. Whatever the cause, everyone wants a solution and to enjoy a full head of hair.

For women, hair loss can be absolutely devastating. A woman’s hair is like her crown – it can define her whole look, feel and style. As any woman knows who is suffering, thinning hair is a serious problem that can cause low self-esteem and deep embarrassment if left untreated.

Hair loss seems to be one of those inevitable effects of aging most men cannot escape. While it may not affect some as early as others, it is a fact every man will likely face as the years tick by. However, new technology is offering a permanent, effective and organic solution.

PRP SCALP PROCEDURE

People who desire a non-surgical regrowth strategy that is safe and effective choose the PRP Scalp procedure. This innovative procedure combines Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) and nutrients injected into the scalp to encourage hair growth. PRP is loaded with growth factors that promote rapid angiogenesis and localized cell growth.

Effective for both male and female pattern hair loss, PRP has also regrown hair in alopecia areata, eyebrow hypotrichosis and other patient cases with non-hereditary hair loss.

How does the PRP Scalp procedure work?

This regenerative hair regrowth treatment takes about 90 minutes from start to finish. First, a blood sample is obtained which is specially processed to produce the PRP. Typically, a local anesthetic is administered to completely numb the scalp treatment area. PRP and vitamin rich nutrients are injected into the scalp using a very small needle followed by a specific micro-needling technique.

The release of growth factors present in PRP act as messengers, recruiting stem cells to the treatment area, stimulating existing viable hair follicles and thereby reversing the effects of hair loss. Scientifically based articles show the efficacy of PRP increases hair count, hair thickness, and the growth phase of the hair cycle.

The recovery from the procedure is typically uneventful and any post treatment discomfort is easily managed in most cases with non-narcotic analgesic medication such as Ibuprofen. There is no other downtime or noticeable effects of the procedure.

Patients typically first notice improved texture and a decrease in hair shedding. New hair growth can be seen as early as 2 months but is typically evident between 4-8 months and will continue to improve. Annual PRP treatments are recommended for optimal hair growth continued success.

What types of conditions respond to the PRP

Scalp regrowth treatment?

The PRP Scalp technique is a versatile tool in the treatment of hair loss for a number of causes including:

◆ Male Pattern Hair Loss – especially in the early stages of balding, or anytime there is a lot of miniaturized hair on the scalp
◆ Female Pattern Hair Loss – at all stages of hair loss
◆ Hypotrichosis (fine/reduced hairs) of the eyebrows or beard
◆ Alopecia Areata, Alopecia Totalis
◆ Metabolic causes of hair loss – iron deficiency and medication induced hair loss
Before the PRP Scalp procedure there were very few effective non-surgical options in regard to hair loss and subsequent treatment. This new method is an ideal
option solving the trauma surrounding thinning hair in both men and women.

Aesthetic Artistry
Scientists have known for years that unipotent stem cells lie dormant in the skin and

provide the building blocks for healing when you sustain a burn or cut. Until recently, physicians had no convenient way to stimulate those stem cells to grow new tissue.

The Artistry Series is among the first set of procedures to harness this technology in the field of aesthetics, utilizing the growth factors found in the blood – specifically the platelets – to activate the unipotent stem cells in the that stimulate new collagen growth and create new, younger-looking skin.

PRP FACELIFT

The PRP Facelift, also known as the Vampire Facelift, is a custom-designed procedure that combines the science of hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers, such as Juvederm, the technology of PRP and the artful eye of a skilled physician to deliver youthful, natural beauty as unique as you. The dermal filler is used to create the shape by restoring volume lost in the aging process. The PRP is used to stimulate the regenerative process of the skin; creating new, younger skin that glows with vitality.

PRP FACIAL

The PRP Facial, sometimes referred to as the Vampire Facial, is a very simple yet incredibly effective strategy for rejuvenating the face. PRP derived from your own blood is applied and worked into the skin with a professional microneedling tool. The microneedling tool creates micro punctures in the skin thus activating the collagen and elastin cascades to create new cells and rejuvenation. The PRP is used to simulate stem cells that exist in the face.

PRP BREAST LIFT

The PRP Breast Lift, sometimes called the Vampire Breast Lift, is an innovative procedure that combines the science of unipotent stem cells and the artful skill of a trained provider to restore more youthful contour and volume. It also improves the skin quality, color, texture and sensitivity. First, volume is added in all the right places. Then, polishing and refining steps of the sculpting process are completed using PRP.

Pain Free PRP
Platelet Rich Plasma injections are replacing traditional orthopedic surgery in many instances for conditions ranging from soft tissue injuries (tendonitis, muscle tears, ligamentous injuries) to various joint afflictions, such as a torn meniscus or mild to moderate arthritis of the joint.

PRP THERAPY INJECTIONS

Pain Free PRP treatment typically requires two PRP injections into the injured tissue, depending on the severity of the injury. The injections will likely be four to six weeks apart. Occasionally, a third PRP injection is needed. Regenerative techniques can be tailored to meet each patient’s orthopedic needs wherever they are experiencing pain.
