Stem Cell Rejuvenation

Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy is a new, non-operative
treatment that frequently relieves pain and promotes
lasting healing of musculoskeletal conditions. PRP
Therapy uses components of a person’s own blood
cells to formulate a customized concoction that
stimulates the natural healing process in many
orthopedic conditions. Stem cells, extracted from
bone marrow or body fat, may also be used in conjunction with PRP therapy to
catalyze the effect. A „fat graft” (adipose sample procured from a mini liposuction)
is an excellent source of stem cells, which, when blended with the PRP to stimulate
the stem cells to maturation, can often reverse osteoarthritis.
The goal of PRP Therapy with stem cells is to resolve pain through real healing.
Initial improvement may be seen within a few weeks, gradually increasing as healing
progresses. Studies have shown PRP therapy to be frequently effective at relieving
pain and returning patients to their normal activities. Both ultrasound and MRI images
have shown definitive tissue repair after PRP therapy, confirming the healing process.
The need for surgery may be reduced by treating injured tissue before the damage
progresses and the condition is irreversible.

Bio-Facial Skin Rejuvenation

Platelet Rich Plasma has been used for facial
rejuvenation for over 20 years. The procedure has
now been perfected with Pure PRP. This treatment
is ideal for individuals wanting to naturally improve
their skin texture, tone and color with no recovery
time. The growth factors in Pure PRP stimulate
proliferation of fibroblasts and keratinocytes, which
aid the body in the production of collagen and keratin. These growth factors also
have a significant role in the formation of new blood vessels, synthesizing collagen
and hyaluronic acid.
Dr. Mik helps to restore areas of the face that require volume by injecting the Pure
PRP into problem areas. In order for the treatment to be comfortable for the patient,
their skin has a local anesthetic cream applied 30 minutes before and nerve blocks
are administered to more sensitive areas of concern. There is no downtime after
this procedure. Aesthetically, there may be some redness of the treated areas of the
skin and minor bruising for a couple days after the procedure. The office visit usually
takes between 90-120 minutes, while the procedure will only take about 20-30
minutes to complete. Initially, 3 to 6 treatments 4-6 weeks apart are recommended
for optimal results. Maintenance treatments are recommended every one to two
years depending on skin type.
PRP treatment is extremely safe. Because PRP is produced from your own blood,
there is no risk of an allergic reaction. In addition, PRP contains a concentrated
amount of white blood cells, your body’s natural defenders against infections. As a
result, infection is extremely rare with our PRP treatment.
