What is Fotona 4D Facelift?
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a new treatment that uses parts of your blood to heal and regenerate tissues. Our blood has several components:
red blood cells;
white blood cells;
platelets and plasma – the liquid part.
Platelets are rich in growth factors and proteins that are part of the body’s natural healing process.
In PRP therapy, a small sample of your blood is drawn and processed using a centrifuge. This process separates the components and concentrates the platelets into the plasma, producing a high concentration of reparative cells.
The resulting PRP is then injected into the treated area, such as damaged tendons, ligaments, muscles, or joints, to speed up recovery.
Since Platelet-rich plasma injections are made from your own blood, there is a minimal risk of an allergic reaction. To ensure accurate delivery, the procedure is non-invasive and can be done in SERA Wellness Med Spa, often under ultrasound imaging guidance.
PRP Treated Conditions
With PRP injections, you can treat many conditions by harnessing the body’s own healing power.
Musculoskeletal Injuries:
- PRP is great for soft tissue damages such as tennis elbow and Achilles tendonitis.
- The resulting PRP is injected directly into the damaged tissue, such as damaged tendons, ligaments, muscles, or joints, to accelerate healing.
- Studies show PRP injections can reduce pain and improve function in patients with these conditions.
Osteoarthritis:
- PRP injection has been used to treat knee osteoarthritis, with research showing pain and joint function improvements.
- A meta-analysis found PRP may be more effective in reducing pain and improving function than hyaluronic acid in knee arthritis.
Hair Loss:
- PRP can stimulate hair follicles and promote hair growth for hair loss, including female- and male-pattern baldness.
- Clinical studies show PRP treatments can increase hair density and thickness.
Facial Rejuvenation:
- PRP is used in aesthetic medicine for facial rejuvenation, improving skin texture, tone, and overall body appearance.
- The growth factors in PRP stimulate collagen production for smoother and more youthful-looking skin.
At SERA Wellness Med Spa, we provide PRP Injection Therapy for facial rejuvenation and hair loss.
Benefits of PRP Injections
Platelet-rich Plasma therapy is a natural and effective solution for many conditions. You harness the power of your own body to get the best results. The benefits of injections of platelet-rich plasma include:
Natural Healing:
PRP uses your own blood components, specifically platelets rich in growth factors, to stimulate your body’s natural healing function.
This reduces the risk of allergic reactions or possible side effects.
Faster Recovery:
PRP injections can speed up the healing process for musculoskeletal and sports injuries, including torn tendons and soft tissue injuries.
Platelet-rich plasma therapy delivers a high concentration of repair cells directly to the injured area
Non-Invasive:
PRP therapy involves a simple blood draw and injection of concentrated platelets into the treated area.
This non-invasive procedure has a shorter recovery time than surgery.
Treats Many Conditions:
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy has been used to treat chronic tendon injuries like tennis elbow, muscle injuries, knee osteoarthritis, and even hair loss, including female and male pattern baldness.
Less Meds:
PRP treatments promote natural healing, reducing the need for pain medications and anti-inflammatories.
Platelet-rich plasma therapy promotes more holistic recovery.
What to Expect from PRP Treatment
The results of PRP treatment can vary depending on the individual and the condition being treated. However, here are some general expectations:
PRP injections stimulate the body’s natural healing process, improving healing and tissue repair. This is particularly beneficial for soft tissue injuries and chronic tendon injuries.
PRP injections can help reduce pain and inflammation, providing relief from conditions like osteoarthritis and tendonitis.
PRP injections can help improve function and mobility in the injected site, making it easier for the patients to perform daily activities and engage in physical exercise.
The results of PRP treatment can last for several months or even years, depending on the patient's health and the condition being treated. Regular follow-up treatments may be recommended to maintain the benefits.
Who Is an Ideal Candidate?
The Fotona 4D is perfect for anyone seeking a non-invasive solution to multiple skin concerns. Suitable for those who:
Have Skin Laxity: If you notice sagging skin around the jawline and perioral area, this treatment can tighten it.
Want Wrinkle Reduction: This laser facelift will reduce fine lines and wrinkles and give you a smoother, more youthful texture.
Want to Improve Skin Complexion: If you want to improve the overall appearance of your skin, including surface imperfections, and get that natural glow, this is the treatment for you.
Non-Invasiveive: For those who don’t want to go under the know, the Fotona 4D Facelift is a non-surgical option with minimal downtime.
While this treatment is versatile, a consultation with our trained professionals at SERA Wellness Medical Spa is required to determine if it is right for you based on your skin type and concerns.
The PRP Injection Process at SERA
At Sera Wellness Med Spa, we make sure our PRP injection is all-out, safe, and customized to each patient. The process consists of the following steps:
Consultation:
Our doctor will complete an evaluation to decide if PRP is right for your condition.
They will ask you about your medical history, the possible allergies, and any medications you may use.
We will ask you about your desired results after Platelet-rich plasma therapy.
Blood Draw:
We will draw a small amount of blood like a regular test. It will take only a few seconds.
Centrifugation:
The next step is to place your sample in a centrifuge, which spins at high speed to separate the components.
This process separates the platelet-rich plasma from the red and white blood cells, resulting in a high concentration of growth factors and repair cells.
PRP Preparation:
Concentrated PRP is prepared for injection.
Depending on the treatment goal, such as platelet-rich fibrin, different PRP preparations may be used.
Injection:
Using precise technique, the doctor will inject the PRP to treat injuries, soft tissue, or an area of hair loss.
Ultrasound may guide the PRP injection to ensure accurate placement at the injury or treatment area.
Post-Treatment Care:
- After the procedure, you may experience mild discomfort or swelling at the injection site, which will subside within a few days.
- Our expert doctors will provide detailed aftercare instructions to support healing and achieve the best results.
That’s how we do Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections at SERA Wellness Med Spa.
