Regenerative Medicine Q & A

Lipogems

 

What is regenerative medicine?

Regenerative medicine consists of powerful new therapies — such as PRP with or without A2M, stem-cell injections, and Tenex — that help your body repair and even regenerate damaged tissue to heal the underlying cause of your pain and dysfunction. With the aid of regenerative medicine, your body produces new collagen, elastin, fibrins, and growth factors needed to create stronger, healthier, more resilient skin, tendons, muscles, and cartilage.

What is PRP?

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a concentrated serum made from the healing platelets found in your own blood, plus a small amount of the liquid portion (i.e., plasma) of your blood.  Your doctor creates the serum by withdrawing a small amount of blood from your arm, and spinning it in a sterile centrifuge to isolate the protein- and growth factor-rich platelets.

Your doctor injects the PRP into damaged tissue to promote repair and regeneration in conditions like arthritis and tendinitis. If you have arthritis, you can boost the power of PRP by adding A2M injections.

 

What is Hair PRP?

PRP is a regenerative treatment for variety of conditions including hair loss. PRP treament for hair loss uses the patient’s own blood cells to accelerate healing to a specific area.  PRP increases circulation to your hair follicles, improves overall hair density, thickens your hair shaft, reduces excessive hair shedding, and may alleviate inflammation. Since PRP uses your own own blood cells, PRP injections are safe, minimally invasive, has minimal risk and short down time.

 

What are A2M injections?

Alpha- 2 macroglobulin (A2M) is one of the most important proteins in your plasma. After your doctor isolates this protein and injects it into your cartilage, it deactivates proteinases that break down your cartilage cells. If you have arthritis, your doctor advises adding A2M to PRP to preserve the health and mobility of your joint. 

 

What is stem cell therapy?

Your body is composed of differentiated (i.e., specific) cells, such as skin cells and bone cells. But it’s also filled with undifferentiated cells, called stem cells, that can turn into many other types of cells, depending on your body’s needs.

Most stem cells are located in your hip bone marrow and in fat. Your doctor may extract stem cells from those areas to create a healing serum that they then inject directly into the area of injury or pain. 

What is Tenex?

Tenex is an advanced, extremely safe, ultrasound-guided form of tenotomy, which is the process of cutting and removing diseased portions of a tendon through a tiny, hollow needle.  The Spine Center and Orthopedic Rehabilitation of Englewood, PC, doctors use Tenex to resolve and heal tendinopathies, including tennis elbow and runner’s knee. Tenex has an 80-90% success rate.
