Revitalizing Your Natural Beauty: Explore PRP Treatments at Eden MedSpa
Dr. Obinna Oriaku of Eden MedSpa in Charlotte, North Carolina, understands that both men and women want to look and feel their best. The quest for restoring youthfulness is common in those nearing their 40s and 50s. With the help of today’s medicine, many of our patients can turn back the hands of time with a treatment option known as PRP.
How is platelet-rich plasma used at Eden MedSpa?
Dr. Oriaku utilizes PRP injections in a variety of areas for different purposes. PRP can be used for:
• Hair loss. If you are experiencing either hair thinning or loss, treatments with platelet-rich plasma can help stimulate natural hair growth and improve the quality of your remaining hair.
• Skin rejuvenation. PRP can be combined with microneedling and injected in tiny deposits onto the face to stimulate collagen and reduce the development of fine lines and wrinkles associated with the natural aging process and to improve skin texture and tone. It can also address dark circles under the eyes or sun damage.
• Joint pain. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) for joint and tendon repair was first made popular when it was used in NFL players to speed up healing. It has been shown to have anti-inflammatory properties that can provide relief for joint pain, such as arthritis. When done regularly, patients can enjoy the many benefits PRP injections provide for those suffering from chronic pain conditions.
• Sexual health. PRP is also being used in some cases for sexual health concerns, including erectile dysfunction and female sexual dysfunction. These are referred to as O-Shots and P-Shots and are commonly performed at Eden MedSpa.
What is PRP?
Dr. Obi Oriaku and his team at Eden MedSpa in Charlotte, North Carolina, describe PRP as a cutting-edge, natural approach to anti-aging and joint pain relief. PRP stands for Platelet-Rich Plasma, a concentrated solution of platelets and growth factors obtained from your own blood.
How does PRP work?
PRP injections involve harvesting a small amount of blood from the patient’s arm and spinning it in a centrifuge to separate the platelet-rich plasma from the other blood components. The practitioner injects the concentrated PRP into targeted areas, such as the face or joints, where it promotes tissue regeneration and healing through its growth factors.
Is PRP safe?
Absolutely! Since PRP uses the patient’s blood, there is minimal risk of adverse reactions or side effects. However, we encourage patients to choose a qualified, experienced provider like Dr. Obi Oriaku for PRP injections to ensure safe and effective treatment.
What are the benefits of PRP?
PRP has numerous benefits for both aesthetic and medical purposes. It can enhance skin texture and tone, minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and boost collagen production in facial rejuvenation. Additionally, PRP can reduce inflammation, heal damaged tissues, and improve mobility for joint pain relief.
How long do the effects of PRP last?
The effects of PRP may vary depending on the individual’s body and lifestyle factors. Generally, our patients can expect results to last anywhere from six months to two years with maintenance treatments.
Are there any potential risks or side effects of PRP injections?
Like any medical procedure offered at medical spas, PRP injections come with potential risks and side effects, such as bruising, swelling, infection, or temporary discomfort at the injection site. However, selecting a qualified provider and adhering to post-treatment care can significantly reduce these risks.
Can anyone get PRP injections performed?
PRP injections are generally safe for most individuals. However, they may not be suitable for patients with certain health conditions, such as blood disorders or autoimmune diseases. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should also avoid PRP injections.
Are there any alternatives to using PRP injections for facial rejuvenation or joint pain relief?
Yes. Several other options are available, including dermal fillers and physical therapy for joint pain. PRP has gained popularity, however, due to its natural approach and effectiveness in promoting tissue regeneration and healing.
How many PRP injection treatments will deliver results?
The number of treatments needed will depend on the individual’s desired results and the body’s response to PRP. Typically, patients may require two or three initial treatments over several months, followed by maintenance treatments every six to twelve months.
