What do you need to know about stem cell therapy?
Stem cell therapy is an advanced technique to restore damaged body cells. Your provider may administer the treatment through injections or directly to your blood system through the intravenous method.
Typically, there are different stem cells in your body. Stem cells constantly divide and generate new cells that grow and differentiate into various types of cells. The stem cells renew the cells needed by your body to restore harmed tissues and replace old tissues.
Dr. Badiyan offers platelet-rich plasma and AmnioFix injections as a form of stem cell therapy. These treatments are rich in growth factors and proteins that stimulate stem cells, promoting healing.
How do platelets accelerate healing?
Platelets are your blood components alongside plasma, red and white blood cells. Once an injury occurs, platelets move instantly to the injured area to stop the bleeding and enhance healing.
While on the damaged tissues, the platelets let out the growth factors in the form of proteins. The growth factors occur in various forms, each one activating the particular healing feature.
For instance, growth factors may enhance new blood vessels, create a matrix to promote new tissue growth, or increase healing. Platelet growth factors also control inflammation and anchor stem cells as they produce new tissues.
What should you know about platelet-rich plasma (PRP)?
Platelet-rich plasma is the part of your blood plasma with high levels of platelets. Dr. Badiyan prepares PRP in the office by taking a part of your blood sample and sorting it out in a centrifuge. The process in the centrifuge allows the separation of different components of the blood.
Your provider then extracts the platelets and a tiny part of your plasma from the separated solution. He injects the PRP at the point of injury, allowing the increased platelets levels to enhance healing.
What are AmnioFix and EpiFix?
These are products created from the dehydrated human amnion or chorion membranes. The amniotic tissues come freely from women who deliver babies through cesarean section. For enhanced safety and sterility, the women and babies undergo screening of infectious diseases; the tissues also undergo PURION processing.
The products have a combination of proteins, specialized cells, and growth factors to enhance healing. AmnioFix and EpiFix attract stem cells to the injured site to promote healing, minimize scarring or regulate inflammation.
