As time passes, your skin begins to show your age in the form of wrinkles, fine lines, and sagging. Here in sunny Southern California, the sun that warms our skin can also contribute to premature aging with dark spots and sun damage.
If you’re ready to revitalize your skin and turn back the hands of time, Dr. Amir Raeesy and our skilled team at Balboa Medical Center & Spa in Encino, California, have the skin rejuvenating solutions you’ve been looking for.
The battle against aging skin is easier than ever thanks to the all-natural solutions found in your own body: platelets and stem cells. Read on to learn how you can look younger naturally with these minimally invasive treatments.
What is platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy?
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy is a regenerative treatment that puts your body’s platelets to good use, boosting your skin’s healing and promoting new cell production. Platelets are cells in your blood that contain the nutrients and growth factors necessary to stimulate new cell growth.
During your PRP session at Balboa Medical Center & Spa, your provider draws a small amount of your blood. The blood is then inserted into a centrifuge, which separates the platelets from the rest of your blood to create a solution 5-10 times more concentrated in platelets than what’s found in your bloodstream.
Your provider then injects this PRP solution into the desired treatment areas in your neck or face. The result? Tighter, firmer, younger-looking skin.
What about stem cell treatments?
Your body produces stem cells, which are unspecialized cells ready to develop into any other type found in the body, including those in your skin. These stem cells grow and repair areas in the body that become worn or damaged, like your skin. The best part? They keep replicating until the job is done.
Your provider at Balboa Medical Center & Spa uses a procedure similar to the PRP treatment process to treat your skin with stem cells. These cells divide and replicate, developing into the cells your body needs to repair the damage to your skin.
Are PRP and stem cell therapies right for me?
The best way to learn if one of these all-natural treatments is right for your skin goals is to contact the professionals at Balboa Medical Center & Spa. Our providers review your medical history and evaluate your skin to develop the best treatments for your skin goals.
You may be a good candidate for PRP therapy or stem cell therapy if you have mild to moderate skin laxity (loose skin) or moderate signs of aging. Most patients are eligible for treatment provided they:
- Don’t take blood thinners
- Don’t have a blood-clotting condition
- Are not pregnant
- Are in good overall health
- Have realistic expectations
