Sagewood Institute brings together expert physicians and practitioners from a variety of disciplines to help clients look and feel better, and to achieve optimal health as they age using cutting-edge research and techniques. The Institute also educates professionals and the public on effective and proven peer-reviewed research on healthy aging.
There is not a scientific method to stop the aging process, but you can age well. Anti-aging is more than using expensive products on your skin. Sagewood offers a comprehensive health assessment for their patients in order to develop a personalized approach and treatment plan that fits them specifically.
For reversing disease, antiaging, joint regeneration, hair growth, and esthetics, Sagewood Institute offers PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) procedures for their patient’s optimal aging.
What is PRP?
Naturally found in your blood, platelets are a rich source of proteins called growth factors, which promote healing and regeneration. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) contains a higher concentration of platelets than the amount normally found in your blood. To create PRP a sample of your blood is drawn and placed it in a centrifuge, which separates the platelets. These concentrated platelets are recombined with your blood plasma to make PRP. Platelet Rich Plasma is then reinjected into the problem areas.
Breast Lift with PRP
It might sound new, but medical professionals have been utilizing PRP’s regenerative effects for breast lifting and to increase breast volume for several years now. As an alternative to augmentation surgery or fat grafting, injecting PRP alone or in combination with a hyaluronic acid filler, can help to increase collagen, elastin and also add volume.
PRP for Hair Loss
Hair loss can be caused by several different factors, age, alopecia, cancer treatments, family history, and various disorders. No matter what the cause, for many individuals dealing with the loss of hair can be traumatic and devastating.
PRP has seven growth factors in it, and that helps to restore hair loss in three ways. First by stimulating new hair to grow, then by keeping current hair growing and last, PRP stimulates the stem cells that are around the hair follicles to thicken the shaft of the hair. The typical hair restoration therapy consist of 3 to 4 treatments over a 4 to 6 week period and then every 3 months thereafter until the hair is fully restored.
Face Lift with PRP
PRP injections are an alternative to Botox and fillers, or an add on to those services if you currently receive them. As mentioned above, platelet Rich Plasma is taken from the patient’s own blood, spun down and reintroduced into the face just like a filler to create and stimulate your body’s own growth factors. PRP produces collagen, hyaluronic acid, elastin, and plumps the skin. Most patients love this as an alternative to chemicals and toxins because the results are remarkable.
