PRP THERAPY
Sexual Rejuvenation
Although the procedures are slightly different for men and women, both utilize platelet rich plasma (PRP) injected into specific locations in the vagina or on the penis to enhance, rejuvenate, and restore function. PRP can return moisture, sensation, and smooth muscle control to the vagina and urethra in women. In Men, PRP can enhance girth, sensation, and control through micro- vascularization. PRP has also proven to be an effective treatment option for men who suffer from Peyronie’s disease. Using Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy, it helps to improve the shape and the function of the penis. … It can dramatically correct the bend in the penis. This treatment may also help correct female urinary incontinence.
PRP Therapy – Platelet Rich Plasma Treatment
The definition of Platelet Rich Plasma, literally, is ‘Plasma enriched with numerous of platelets. PRP, in general, has a higher concentration of platelets compared with baseline blood. Clinically valuable PRP, however, typically contains 1 million platelets or more per microliter. Normal Platelet counts in blood are average about 200,000 ㎕. The scientific proof of bone and soft tissue healing enhancement has been shown using PRP with 1,000,000/㎕ is the working definition of PRP today. Lesser concentrations cannot be relied upon to enhance wound healing. A sufficient cellular response to platelet concentrations first began when a 4- to 5-fold increase over baseline platelet numbers.
PRP Treatment Combinations
PRP therapy can be used individually as well as in combinations and has its widespread uses in various fields. Refer below for how PRP can be suitably applied by various professionals for distinct purposes:
Plastic Surgeons – Dermatologists
PRP till recently was known to provide a therapy for injuries, but it also has its advantages in treating skin problems. Plastic Surgeons have opined that injecting the patient’s own platelets and fibrin through PRP therapy to provide him or her with a cosmetic treatment for wrinkles or scars on the face, neck, hands etc.
Orthopedics
Orthopedic Doctors and Surgeons have more recently realized that PRP can be the best alternative treatment in place of the conventional therapies prescribed. Its non-surgical and an easily administered dosage which makes use of the patient’s own blood appeals to many Orthopedics.
Veterinarians
Since its success as an effective therapy and treatment in human clinical medical research, PRP has been used on an experimental basis on animal models, majorly to facilitate the healing and correction of bone, tendon and ligament injuries. The idea behind this is to make use of an autologous, cost effective and advanced therapy to augment tissue healing in animals. Given its many benefits, PRP is gaining ground in clinical veterinary medicine, initially with equine patients and more recently with dogs.
Hair Loss
PRP Follicle Unit Extraction Hair Transplant study
Many professionals are using the PRP method to help their patients regrow their hair. Highly concentrated growth factors in the form of platelets have been shown to generate new hair growth, thicken thinned out hair, and make hair grow thicker and healthier. If the hair follicles or hair roots are healthy, the growth of the hair is healthy. Hair follicles survive on the nutrition they get from blood supply.
