As more methods for using the body’s natural growth factors to promote healing from the inside out are discovered, rejuvenating medicine has continued to expand. Natural Growth Factor Injections have been thoroughly investigated and studied and have proven to be very helpful in treating some injuries. At Biorestoration, we can offer Natural Growth Factor Injections that use a small amount of your blood to encourage healing within the body.
What are Natural Growth Factor Injections?
Natural growth factor injections use substances from your body to initiate healing.
Growth factors are organic proteins that help our body’s cells and tissues, including the skin, develop, organize, and remain healthy. They communicate with skin cells as chemical messengers, promoting growth. They are necessary for skin recovery and wound healing.
Enzymes that destroy cells and undermine the skin’s structure are produced when the skin is irritated. Growth factors operate as the 911 first responders, sending messages to the fibroblasts (cells that make collagen) to help them heal the harm and restore the skin’s integrity.
Why We Need Growth Factors
Our bodies can no longer accomplish the healing process as effectively as they did when we were younger. Growth factor levels decrease with age; as a result, our cells don’t get the communication they need to heal themselves. They either hibernate or undergo apoptosis, a form of cellular suicide when they don’t get the signals from growth factors, other proteins, and hormones.
Skin that lacks growth factors appears older, less plump, and has more fine lines and wrinkles. Growth factor replenishment is crucial for healthy, vibrant, and more youthful-looking skin, in addition to refilling our skin with essential peptides, antioxidants, and vitamins.
How Do Natural Growth Factor Injections Work?
Natural growth factor Injections can be injected into the injured or damaged areas when you have ligament, tendon, joint, or muscle injuries. These injections enhance and speed up the healing process by releasing growth factors that will increase the number of reparative cells in your body.
Natural Growth Factor Injections for Injuries
Patients with chronic tendon injuries, arthritis, plantar fasciitis, and even fractures can benefit from natural growth factor injections because they have been demonstrated to increase mobility and relieve pain in the affected joints. Natural growth factor injections have been utilized in some procedures to speed tissue recovery. They can also delay the need for joint and tendon surgery.
Natural Growth Factor Injections for Skin Health
Furthermore, natural growth factor injections help rejuvenate the skin. The increased collagen production that the injections trigger will rebuild the skin’s youthful structure, add elasticity, and reduce scarring
Natural growth factor injections are helpful for smoothening and tightening your skin, reducing the damage caused by scarring and minimizing the appearance of wrinkles. Physicians found that natural growth factor injections slowed down the skin’s aging process in a 2017 study. This method may be used to treat wrinkles and elastosis or yellowish skin.
Injections of natural growth factors also increase the number of blood vessels in the skin, which helps maintain the skin’s elasticity and hydration.
Your skin can be injected with natural growth factors without using dermal fillers; if necessary, the procedure can be repeated every four weeks.
Natural Growth Factor Injections for Hair Regrowth
Another use of natural growth factor injections is hair regrowth. The regenerative properties of the treatment can restore hair follicles and make them grow hair again.
Natural growth factor injections at the scalp boost hair thickness and reduce hair loss by increasing blood flow to the hair follicles. Surgery is substantially more expensive than natural growth factor injection therapy.
By stimulating the stem cells and other cells in the microenvironment of the hair follicle, platelets, which are unique cells found in natural growth factor injections, may theoretically cause the growth of hair follicles.
Natural growth factor injections are primarily used in hair restoration to kick-start dormant or recently implanted hair follicles into an active growth phase.
How Does the Procedure Go?
After a complete evaluation from our trained staff of professionals at Biorestoration, we can establish if natural growth factor injections are the best course of therapy for less pain, quicker healing, and improved body functionality.
A sample of the patient’s blood is drawn by the injector and placed in a vial or other receptacle. The container is spun at 3000 revolutions per minute for approximately 10 minutes in a centrifuge. The centrifugal force will separate the natural growth factor from the red blood cells and other blood elements.
The injector might continue the procedure after the extraction. The presiding medical aesthetician will inject the natural growth factor into the treatment area.
How Safe are Natural Growth Factor Injections?
Although only the patient’s blood is utilized, some people may have concerns about using blood products. This treatment doesn’t have the same hazards associated with transfusion.
There are a few patient criteria to guarantee the security and effectiveness of injections of natural growth factor. Patients using blood thinners cannot receive this treatment. Anti-inflammatory medications, whether prescribed or over-the-counter, must be stopped seven days before the surgery.
Except for these restrictions, natural growth factor injection is considered very safe. Although the technology is not very new, the cosmetic application is.
Are There Side Effects?
Other aesthetic procedures come with a variety of adverse effects. However, only four possible minor and temporary adverse effects are associated with injections of natural growth factors. These effects are swelling, redness, bruising, and slight pain.
There is no need to be alarmed if you experience these adverse effects. They are entirely natural and have no negative impact on the treatment’s outcomes.
You can do anything to reduce these negative impacts. Potential bruising can be minimized by avoiding certain dietary supplements and supplements like omega-3, alcohol, garlic, aspirin, and others. These medications, foods, and supplements frequently thin the blood and slow blood clotting, aggravating bruises.
After six months, the treatment’s benefits will be at their most advantageous. However, they are not long-lasting. To keep the results, you will need to schedule follow-up appointments regularly.
