Regenerative medicine, or anti-aging medicine, is a cutting-edge medical treatment that amplifies the natural healing process in your body to heal specific tissues. It is used in replacing tissue or organs that have been damaged by trauma or diseases or that were absent at birth.
At The Blend Institute, Dr. Blend and Kimberly Blend offer regenerative platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapies for aesthetics and sports optimization purposes.
Platelets are cells in your blood that play a vital role in stopping bleeding after an injury. They also contain a significant amount of nutrients and growth factors that stimulate the healing process in skin, soft tissues and bone.
Dr. Blend and Kimberly Blend begin the process by drawing a sample of your blood. With the help of state-of-the-art centrifuging technology, they separate the platelets from the rest of the blood cells. The separated serum contains a rich blend of platelets with all of those healing nutrients.
They then use the serum for various cosmetic and medical applications, including:
Stem cells are unique cells in your body that have the potential to divide infinitely and change into a wide variety of cells. In adults, the stem cells are present in fat, blood and bone marrow.
The stem cells are usually harvested from fat cells in the body, processed and injected back into the damaged tissues of your body, where they help in new tissue formation. They can be used alone or mixed with PRP for an enhanced effect.
Regenerative medicine finds applications in a variety of orthopedic injuries, blood cancers, and cosmetic dermatology. It is especially useful for treating injuries to ligaments and tendons that are usually very slow to heal. These include:
Clinical trials involving stem cell therapies have also shown promising results in treating strokes, heart disease, diabetes, autism, cerebral palsy and Alzheimer’s disease.
