PRP Treatment for Knee Conditions

Posted on by David Nazarian M.D.

Platelet-rich plasma (also known as “PRP”) has been shown to promote healing when injected into the body. Plasma is a part of the blood containing proteins that help one’s blood to clot and support cell growth. When your physician takes a sample of your blood, they are able to isolate the plasma. The process includes a machine called a centrifuge. The centrifuge separates and pulls out your blood’s platelets and plasma. How does PRP treatment for knee conditions work?

PRP Treatment for Knee Conditions

When PRP is isolated, it is injected into your joints. The mixture of PRP contains certain substances that can promote healing. Studies have shown that in general, people see significant clinical improvements with PRP injections.

The knee is a very complex part of the human body and is often prone to injury. Injury can be due to various factors including tendon injuries, acute injuries, or osteoarthritis. Intense physical activity, weight gain, and aging can also cause wear and tear. Joint pain treatment for tendonitis or ligament conditions widely uses PRP treatment for knee issues. As mentioned, patients who undergo PRP injections report increased joint function and reduced pain. The PRP injection process includes a direct injection into the joint space to support the body in regeneration and healing. The restorative and regenerative properties found in PRP are extremely high.

PRP Treatment for Knee in Beverly Hills

PRP Treatment Beverly Hills provides a wide variety of PRP therapies and injections. Ideal candidates include those who experience joint or tendon pain, muscle aches, or chronic knee pain. In addition, PRP treatment for knee problems is perfect for those seeking a more natural solution to alleviate their pain. The treatment is minimally invasive and does not require any in-patient surgery. The injection and PRP therapy recovery time are typically very fast with minimal downtime. Patients may experience slight discomfort or irritation for a short period after the treatment. However, recovery time is minimal as compared to in-patient surgical procedures.

PRP treatment for knee issues involves injecting PRP into the affected area. Because PRP derives from the patient’s own blood, it can effectively promote healing and decrease inflammation in the area. When a person is hurt, platelets clot and coagulate to treat our wounds. PRP treatment can speed up the healing process by increasing the platelet count and invigorate the healing process. This treatment is now used by hundreds of medical professionals and is becoming more prominent in the United States. This is because the PRP injections are safe, effective, and supported by many doctors.

Microneedling with PRP is here to stay!

Posted on by David Nazarian M.D.

You have most likely heard of a PRP microneedling facial aka *Vampire Facial made famous by a selfie on Instagram from Kim Kardashian a few years back. At first, many people assumed it was just a fad. However, it has proven to be an excellent anti-aging treatment to treat fine lines, wrinkles, and give your skin a fresh glow, all from your blood. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections also help reduce scarring, sun damage, and dark circles. It might sound a little strange at first, but let’s take a look at what it is and how it can help you.

First, Dr. Nazarian draws your blood, and it is spun to isolate the plasma from your red and white blood cells. Once he has finished this, the plasma or liquid is then microneedled into your skin. Some beauty experts have compared the benefits of this growth factor to fertilizer for a lawn. The reason it works effectively is it the plasma is the very best part of your blood. This treatment was initially used to help treat torn ligaments in athletes to expedite healing.

The main benefit of Microneedling with PRP is that you only have about a 24-hour downtime. While Dr. Nazarian creates these micro-injuries to your skin, it is healing them at the same time. The PRP stimulates higher collagen production and speeds up the skin’s natural healing process. You achieve better results than traditional microneedling alone with fewer treatments. 

This facial treatment works for all skin types, and anyone looking to enhance the overall appearance of their face. If you want to stimulate collagen and have a healthy glow, then you are a candidate. When you first arrive for your appointment, you can expect to have a numbing cream applied for 30 to 45 minutes. Once you are numb, and the PRP is separated from the red blood cells, the microneedling begins. 

From start to finish, the treatment takes about an hour and a half. The most important thing Dr. Nazarian advises is that you do not wash the PRP off your face until the next day. If you would like to learn more or schedule your first microneedling PRP facial in Beverly Hills, please contact our office today at 310-299-8959.

How Many Different Conditions Can PRP Therapy Treat

Posted on by David Nazarian M.D.

PRP therapy, which is short for platelet-rich plasma therapy, is becoming popular as a natural way to treat a variety of conditions in humans today. As an integral component of blood, plasma’s function is of “healing” through its protein contents. In addition to giving blood its clotting characteristic, it promotes cell growth in the body too. As part of the PRP therapy, your blood is drawn and the platelet rich plasma component which includes cytokines and growth factors is isolated. It is then injected into the tissues or areas including the face, hair, joints, tendons, and sexual organs to help promote better blood flow, healing and repair. The injected plasma has a concentration of growth proteins helping damaged body tissues heal faster, stimulate collagen and skin repair, stimulate hair follicles and more. Due to athletes using PRP therapy frequently, many people are under the impression that it is only used for treating damaged or inflamed tissues and joints as a result of sports activities, but that’s not true.

Here are the many different conditions that today’s doctors can treat using PRP therapy.

Damaged Tendons Or Tendonitis

Tendons act like ropes to hold bones and muscles together. One of the reasons to help tendons heal through PRP therapy is because their natural healing process can often be slow. PRP injections for tendonitis or tendon tears assist in decreasing inflammation and recovery.

Acne And Acne Scars

Most people are under the impression that acne scars can never go away. However, a combination of PRP micro-needling and PRP injections can heal those scars by promoting the production of collagen. This type of therapy can also help people reduce the wrinkles on their skin.

Skin Rejuvenation & Facial Rejuvenation

PRP with micro-needling assists in collagen production and tightening of the skin and removal of skin blemishes such as sun spots and dark under eye circles. Ageing concerns are scary for people. It is scary when you start noticing the first wrinkles on your face and blemishes that blotch the fairness of your looks. Many people choose methods that use synthetic materials to get a youthful face. The big problem with such treatments is that they have a much higher chance of side effects and are often times short lived. With PRP therapy, the concentrated plasma is collected from your blood and used on your own body. Side effects are very less likely to occur.

Hamstring Injury

When you see an athlete holding the back of their thigh while not being able to walk, be sure that they have a hamstring injury. There are now studies that show the efficacy of PRP treatments to treat the hamstring injuries.

Hair Loss (Alopecia)

One of the conditions that have kept populations all around the world concerned is alopecia or hair loss. While alopecia (hair loss) is more common in men, even women start losing their hair very fast after the age of 30.

In addition to being minimally invasive, PRP injections are also very cost-effective. The treatment is great for men and women both because it can stimulate hair follicles to grow and become thicker and stronger. PRP hair injections and therapy can stop hair loss and promote and stimulate your own hair follicles to grow and recover.

Dark Under Eye Circles

Dark under eye circles are typically difficult to treat but PRP micro-needling can be an effective way to improve this unwanted complexion.
