What Is Regenerative Medicine?

When something breaks, wouldn’t it be wonderful if it could just put itself back together again? When it comes to your body, it actually can put itself back together. Your body has an amazing capacity to heal and regenerate itself. Stem cells that are already in your body play a major role in that regeneration. However, there are also rehabilitative therapies in the field of regenerative medicine that can also help your body repair itself. Stem cell therapy, platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy and prp facials are a few examples of regenerative medicine that can help your body rejuvenate and grow stronger. Find out what these therapies are and how they can help you today!

What Is Regenerative Medicine?

We live in a day and age where scientific discoveries are happening every day, especially in the field of medicine. In the past, medical professionals prescribed surgeries and narcotic pain medications to help health problems and to curb chronic pain. Surgeries are often used to improve appearance or performance in some area of the body, but these surgeries can cause you more problems than results. There is a better way to find repair and rejuvenation for the body, and that is through using the body’s natural regenerative qualities. Thus, regenerative medicine was born.

Regenerative medicine is an area of healing and rejuvenation that takes what the body already does for itself in the form of therapy. The U.S. Department of Health states that regenerative medicine is “the process of creating living, functional tissues to repair or replace tissue or organ function lost due to age, disease, damage, or congenital defects.” For example, stem cell therapy is one such treatment that harnesses the body’s ability to heal itself after injury. We take stem cells and give patients more of these to help them heal quicker and faster. We have other regenerative medicine services that include:

• Plasma-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy
• PRP Facial

Stem Cell Therapy

This is one of our most popular regenerative medicine therapies. Your body goes through a specific process of healing once you’ve been injured. Your body gets signals that you’ve been wounded (even if it’s a small cut), and sends blood platelets to the site of injury to begin clotting the wound. That clotting eventually turns into a scab. At the same time, your body also releases stem cells and sends them with blood platelets to the site of injury. These are very unique and special cells in your body that every person is born with.

They lie dormant in your body until an injury happens, then rush to the injured site. There, they do something that no other type of cell in your body can do. Their ability to differentiate allows them to transform into any type of cell in your body. If a muscle is injured, they turn into that muscle cell. If your skin is cut, they turn into a skin cell. Using stem cells, your body can repair a wound and heal it almost like new. However, the amount of stem cells you have decreases over time. We take stem cells from natural sources and provide patients with anti-inflammatory stem cell injections. These injections go straight into the area of damage or pain and help to accelerate your healing time.

Plasma-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy

This is also an excellent treatment for stimulating long-term healing and pain relief. We use the platelets from your own blood to help repair injured tendons or cartilage in your body. This is similar to stem cell therapy, but uses plasma-rich blood instead of stem cells. However, plasma-rich plasma therapy enhances your body’s natural stem cell production, leading to fully healed and regenerated tissue.

PRP Facial

This is not your average facial! This innovative treatment stimulates the skin’s collagen production by using the growth enzymes found in your own blood. Unlike other conventional anti-aging treatments that use powerful chemicals or foreign substances, the PRP facial uses your own blood for treatment. The facial improves and tightens your skin using your cell’s natural capacity for repair and regeneration. The result is glowing, vibrant skin with improved elasticity and fullness.

For Him

This is a shot specifically for men that doesn’t involve chemicals or ingredients with dangerous side effects. A natural alternative for natural male enhancement that doesn’t come with side effects or drawbacks. This regenerative medicine treatment enhances and heals by using your body’s natural capacity for rejuvenation. It works by activating the stem cells in your body to get the desired effect. If you want a natural solution instead of using pharmaceuticals like Viagra or Cialis, ask about this option!
