At Rejuvené MD in El Paso, TX, we believe in the transformative power of PRP therapy. It is a fusion of nature and science, which offers a natural yet effective approach to cosmetic treatments. Our patients can expect a revitalized and refreshed appearance from PRP therapy. We are committed to providing the highest quality care and utilizing the most advanced technology.
What Is PRP?
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a medical treatment that utilizes a concentration of platelets derived from the patient’s blood to accelerate healing and regeneration in various body parts. This treatment involves drawing a small amount of the patient’s blood, which is then processed in a centrifuge to separate the platelets and plasma from other blood components. The resulting PRP solution, rich in growth factors and healing properties, is then reinjected into the targeted area. These growth factors are crucial in initiating and accelerating tissue repair and regeneration.
PRP therapy is widely used in orthopedics, sports medicine, cosmetic dermatology, and hair loss treatment. It naturally promotes healing, reduces inflammation, and stimulates collagen production without the risks associated with foreign substances or significant surgery.
Benefits of PRP
Enhanced Collagen Production
PRP therapy stimulates the natural production of collagen, the key protein responsible for maintaining skin elasticity and firmness. This increase in collagen leads to reduced wrinkles and fine lines, giving your skin a smoother, more youthful appearance.
Accelerated Healing
One of the most compelling aspects of PRP therapy is its ability to accelerate the body’s natural healing processes. This benefits patients undergoing other cosmetic procedures, as PRP can enhance and expedite recovery.
Minimally Invasive
Unlike more invasive cosmetic treatments, PRP therapy is minimally invasive with minimal downtime. This makes it ideal for individuals seeking effective cosmetic solutions without extensive recovery periods.
Natural and Safe
Since PRP is derived from the patient’s blood, the risk of allergic reactions or rejection is minimal. This autologous nature of the treatment makes it a safe option with a significantly lower risk of complications compared to synthetic substances or surgery.
Our Uses for PRP
Hair Restoration
Hair loss can be a distressing issue, but PRP therapy offers an effective solution. By injecting PRP into the scalp, we stimulate hair follicles, encouraging new hair growth and strengthening existing hair. This innovative treatment is particularly beneficial for individuals seeking a non-surgical approach to combat hair thinning and loss.
PRP Facials
Our PRP facial rejuvenates the skin by using PRP’s healing and regenerative properties. This facial enhances the skin’s texture and tone and reduces signs of aging, providing a more radiant and youthful complexion.
PRP Facelift
The PRP facelift is a revolutionary treatment combining the rejuvenating properties of PRP with dermal fillers. This combination lifts and volumizes the face, diminishing wrinkles and sagging skin and resulting in a more youthful and refreshed appearance.
HE-Shot
The HE-Shot, or Priapus Shot, is an advanced treatment aimed at improving male sexual health. Utilizing PRP injections, this therapy enhances erectile function, increases sensation, and can even improve overall sexual wellness.
O-Shot
Similarly, the O-Shot, or Orgasm Shot, is designed for female sexual enhancement. This treatment uses PRP to stimulate vaginal and clitoral rejuvenation, enhancing sensitivity and improving sexual experience.
Wound Healing
Beyond cosmetic applications, PRP therapy plays a significant role in wound healing. Applying PRP to wounds accelerates the body’s natural healing process, reducing recovery time and improving healing outcomes.
Frequently Asked Questions About PRP
Is PRP Therapy Painful?
PRP therapy typically involves minimal pain, comparable to a regular injection or blood draw. While the injection site may feel sore temporarily, local anesthesia is often used to minimize discomfort during the treatment. Most patients report only mild discomfort both during and after the treatment.
How Long Does It Take to See Results From PRP?
The time frame for seeing results from PRP therapy varies depending on the treated condition and the individual’s healing process. Generally, improvements can be noticed within a few weeks, with continued progress over several months. Multiple treatments may be necessary for optimal results, especially in severe injury or chronic conditions.
How Many PRP Treatments Are Needed?
The number of PRP treatments required varies based on the individual and the condition being treated. Typically, two to six treatments, spaced a month or more apart, are recommended for optimal results. Some chronic conditions or severe injuries may require ongoing maintenance treatments.
How Should I Prepare for PRP Therapy?
Preparation for PRP therapy typically involves simple steps. Patients are usually advised to stay hydrated and may be asked to avoid certain medications, like anti-inflammatory drugs, that could interfere with the treatment’s effectiveness. It’s important to follow our specific instructions to ensure the best possible outcome.
How Long Do the Effects of PRP Last?
The duration of PRP effects can vary, but benefits are often long-lasting. In cosmetic and hair restoration applications, results may require maintenance treatments to sustain the benefits over time.
Is Everyone a Candidate for PRP?
While PRP is safe for most people, there are some exceptions. Individuals with certain blood disorders, acute or chronic infections, or those on heavy anticoagulation therapy may not be suitable candidates.
