Orthopedics Procedures

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) is a component of blood obtained by centrifuging a sample of the patient’s own blood. It consists of a concentration of platelets and growth factors that are essential in the process of tissue repair and regeneration.

The procedure to obtain PRP involves the following steps:

1. A blood sample is extracted from the patient, typically from a vein in the arm.
2. This blood sample is placed in a centrifugation machine, which spins at high speed to separate the blood components.
3. Centrifugation separates the blood into its different layers, and PRP is found in the upper layer, which is rich in platelets and growth factors.
4. PRP is extracted and can be used in various medical applications.

PRP has been used in fields such as orthopedics, dermatology, and aesthetic medicine, among others. It is injected into specific areas of the body that require repair or regeneration, such as damaged joints, aging skin, or areas with injuries. PRP is believed to stimulate tissue repair by releasing growth factors that promote collagen formation, angiogenesis (growth of blood vessels), and cellular regeneration.

It’s important to note that the use of PRP is supported by research in various areas, but its effectiveness may vary depending on the medical condition and the patient. Before undergoing any PRP treatment, it is essential to consult with a medical professional to determine if it is suitable for your specific situation.

Exosomes are small extracellular vesicles secreted by cells in the body, including stem cells and skin cells. These exosomes contain a variety of biologically active molecules such as proteins, nucleic acids, and lipids, which play an important role in intercellular communication and the regulation of cellular processes.

In aesthetic medicine, exosomes have been investigated as a potential tool to improve the health and appearance of the skin. It has been suggested that exosomes may have regenerative and anti-inflammatory properties that can be beneficial for aging or damaged skin.

Some of the applications of exosomes in aesthetic medicine include:

Skin rejuvenation: The use of exosomes derived from stem cells in creams or serums has been studied to enhance the appearance of the skin by reducing wrinkles, improving elasticity, and promoting collagen production. Reduction of inflammation: Exosomes can have anti-inflammatory effects, making them useful in the treatment of inflammatory skin conditions such as acne and rosacea. Improved wound healing: Research has explored the use of exosomes to enhance wound healing and reduce the appearance of scars. Hair loss treatment: Some studies suggest that exosomes may stimulate hair growth and are being investigated as a potential treatment option for hair loss.

Neural therapy is a form of alternative  medicine used to treat a variety of health conditions. It originated in Germany in the 1920s and is based on the idea that certain areas of the body may have energy blockages or dysfunctions that can cause illnesses or symptoms. Neural therapy focuses on identifying and correcting these blockages to restore health.

The primary focus of neural therapy involves the injection of local anesthetics into specific areas of the body, known as «ganglia» or «nodes» according to the theory of neural therapy. These ganglia are believed to be sites where energy blockages or dysfunctions can accumulate. The injection of anesthetics at these points aims to «unblock» the energy and allow the body to heal itself.

Neural therapy has been used for a wide range of conditions, including chronic pain, musculoskeletal disorders, chronic diseases, skin disorders, and mental health issues.
