What is PRP Replacement Therapy?
PRP, or platelet rich plasma therapy, is a breakthrough cosmetic treatment that uses your body’s own blood platelets to rejuvenate the skin and correct a broad range of aesthetic issues. This treatment can be utilized on its own, or used in combination with microneedling and laser skin resurfacing procedures to bring patients longer-lasting, more dramatic rejuvenation.
PRP Replacement therapy works because it enriches problem areas with 5-10 times greater concentration of blood platelets than usual. Platelets contain hundreds of different proteins known as growth factors that are critical in the healing of injuries. When these growth factors are flooded to an area plagued by wrinkles, fine lines, or scars, they help soften these features to give patients smoother, healthier-looking skin. When used in conjunction with other treatments, platelets can help speed up the rate of healing and extend results of treatment much longer than they would last without PRP.
How Does it Work?
The PRP used in PRP replacement therapy is extracted from the patient who is undergoing treatment. Once a sample of blood has been taken, it is processed through a centrifuge. This process separates the PRP from the rest of the blood. Once the PRP has been isolated, it is injected back into the body at the treatment site.
While it is not entirely clear how PRP replacement therapy works, it is generally agreed upon that the additional growth factors are responsible for the accelerated healing and rejuvenation that take place.
What are the Benefits of PRP Replacement Therapy?
Many patients that might otherwise be hesitant to undergo a cosmetic treatment are comfortable with the idea of PRP replacement therapy. This is because both on its own and with other treatments, PRP does not introduce any foreign chemicals into the body, and is only comprised of your body’s own materials.
On its own, PRP replacement therapy can be used to correct a broad range of aesthetic issues. Some of these include:
- Loss of facial volume
- Facial wrinkles
- Facial folds
- Under eye circles and hollows
- Neck and chest lines
- Scars
PRP replacement therapy can also be used with microneedling procedures.
When added onto these treatments, it can both help decrease downtime experienced and extend visible results.
In particular, PRP replacement therapy works well with microneedling to help stimulate hair growth.
PRP and the “O” and “P” shot!
The O-shot (also known as the orgasm shot) is a nonsurgical treatment that uses a patient’s own platelet-rich plasma (PRP) to stimulate the growth of new cells in the vaginal walls and clitoris. The growth factor–rich platelets increase the number of cells and their sensitivity to stimulation, mainly by improving cell functioning and boosting blood flow to the area.
In certain patients, treatment can increase one’s ability to achieve orgasm. (One small study found “that specifically placed intravaginal and intraclitoral PRP injections could be an effective method to treat certain types of female sexual dysfunction, especially in the areas of desire, arousal, lubrication, and orgasm.”) The O-shot may also help treat urinary incontinence, which is often a result of weak pelvic floor muscles.
The “P” shot for Men!
Priapus Shot (P Shot) for Men
P-Shot for Erectile Dysfunction & Male Enhancement
The P Shot is a drug-free, surgery free procedure that is designed to improve your sex life by providing you with:
- Better Quality Erections
- Heightened pleasure and sensation
- A healthier penis due to improved circulation
- A safe and effective alternative to prescription drugs or surgical procedures
How does the P-Shot Work?
The PRP in the P-Shot, improves blood flow to the penis. The increased circulation restores your ability to achieve longer, stronger and more sustainable erections. The healing and growth factors in the PRP rejuvenate existing blood vessels, and stimulate the production of new blood vessels. The result is significantly improved blood flow to the penis, and good blood flow is essential to erectile function.
But, the Priapus shot does more than just improve your ability to get an erection. PRP therapy is a kind of stem cell therapy. It not only improves blood flow, the Priapus shot stimulates the growth of new cells in erectile tissues. That means that this proven procedure not only treats ED, it may actually increase your penis size. *Increases in length and girth of 1-2 inches or more, are not uncommon with the Priapus shot.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
WHEN WILL I SEE RESULTS?
A Botox session takes just a few minutes and the injections are delivered with a very fine needle. Results can be seen as early as 3 to 5 days with full impact of the treatment at two weeks.
HOW LONG WILL THE RESULTS LAST?
The effects of Botox generally last 3 to 4 months. As the Botox is absorbed, muscle action gradually returns and with it the lines and wrinkles caused by those muscles. Another Botox session will then be needed to maintain your results. Over time, lines and wrinkles will appear less severe because the muscles are being trained to relax.
COMMON POST PROCEDURE CONCERNS
Bruising and mild swelling at the injection sites are the most common side effects of Botox. Rare adverse reactions include developing an eyelid droop or heavy brow post treatment. Both of these effects can last a few weeks but can usually be mitigated with either eye drops or a small “Botox tweak” to balance the muscle action. After treatment it is important not to lie down for 4 hours, not to exercise the day of treatment and to treat the face gently for 12 hours. This post care protocol can help to minimize these adverse reactions. Both the eyelid droop and heavy brow are entirely reversible within a few months.
ADDITIONAL PROCEDURE INFORMATION
How does Botox work? What conditions does Botox treat?
Made of natural purified protein, BOTOX is injected directly into the muscles on the patient’s affected areas to effectively block the nerve signals being transmitted along the nervous fibers that signal the muscles in these areas to contract. This results in reduced muscular activity on the treated areas that is the prevailing cause of wrinkle formation. Over time, the temporary paralyzing action on the underlying muscles will result in a significant reduction of the intensity of the appearance of the wrinkles, making the patient’s skin smoother, firmer, and younger-looking.
WHO is/isn’t a candidate for Botox?
Women who are pregnant or breast feeding are not candidates for BOTOX Cosmetic.
Is there any preparation for the treatment?
There is no preparation needed for receiving BOTOX Cosmetic treatment.
How long does the actual treatment take?
The actual treatment usually takes around 30 minutes total.
Does it hurt? What is the sensation like?
There is the usual discomfort at the injection site as well as headaches, neck pain, tiredness, and dry mouth in some cases.
What can I expect immediately after treatment?
You may notice some slight swelling, which will dissipate within a few hours after treatment. Patients are advised to avoid applying any unnecessary pressure on the treatment areas to avoid additional adverse effects that include swelling of the eyelids, drooping eyelids, dry eyes, blurred or double vision, or even decreased eyesight.
How many treatments are recommended?
Many patients come in for treatment every 3-4 months.
Is there any down time? Side effects?
While there is no actual downtime, you may notice some slight swelling, which will dissipate within a few hours after treatment. You may also notice some light brusing for a couple of days, which is very common and will gradually disappear. You may notice some changes in 3-5 days and complete affects after 1-2 weeks.
If symptoms of an allergic reaction are experienced (such as itching, redness, dizziness, or difficulty breathing) the patient must seek medical attention right away.
What should I avoid after the treatment?
For 4 hours after treatment, you need to keep your head and neck upright. Do not bend over, lie flat, or place your head against a pillow. Allow at least 4 hours to pass before touching, pressing, or manipulating the treated areas.
How long until I can resume my usual activities?
You can resume your usual activities after treatment as long as your head and neck remain in the upright position. Moderate exercise can also be done after treatment.
