‘Sports medicine’ secret turns out to be an anti-aging BREAKTHROUGH
I’m constantly amazed by what people will do to try to look younger.
It USED to be that only movie stars would go “under the knife”… and risk invasive procedures like “face lifts.”
But in these crazy times, cosmetic procedures to help folks PRESERVE the appearance of youth have become so commonplace… you’ll find them being used across the country…
WAY outside of “Hollywood.”
Friend, that’s not a GOOD thing.
Aging folks are BRAVING needles full of muscle-paralyzing TOXINS… dermal fillers made of synthetic materials… and other alternatives to surgery.
They’re still DANGEROUS (not to mention DISGUSTING).
And if you ask me, they’re not NECESSARY.
Now, that doesn’t mean you have to accept EVERYTHING that comes with aging – or that you just have to get used to LOOKING and FEELING “old.”
Because there’s something completely different that’s making waves in the effort to beat back aging.
This game-changer is one of the most NATURAL forms of healing out there – one that some of America’s top athletes have used to get back in the game as quickly as possible.
And researchers are finding out that the way it works on worn-out muscles and connective tissues could also EXTEND to skin… and even hair!
Regenerative medicine
You’ve read right here in eAlert how platelet-rich plasma (PRP) works to recreate your body’s natural healing process.
It helps REGENERATE injured and fatigued muscles… ligaments… and tendons…
Especially those persistent injuries that have RESISTED every other form of treatment…
By helping your body produce NEW collagen.
It’s like a little nudge to your body’s own repair shop…
But you don’t need to be INJURED in order to benefit from PRP.
Injecting your own blood platelets BACK into your body could also help fight aging!
You see, platelets don’t JUST help with blood clotting.
When isolated out of your blood (using a machine called a centrifuge), they deliver growth factors with regenerative powers…
EXACTLY where you need it most.
Those powers AREN’T limited to collagen… but also helping to create NEW blood vessels, RENEWING skin cells, and more.
That’s what helps make PRP a go-to for speeding up wound healing, especially after surgery.
But when it comes to aging skin, it could mean FEWER and LESS SEVERE wrinkles and fine lines…
REDUCED scarring…
BETTER skin texture…
And LESS discoloration, according to a 2019 meta-analysis.
Here’s something really exciting out of Johns Hopkins, right here in Baltimore…
PRP could also ENCOURAGE hair to grow!
Now, you may have heard PRP referred to as a “natural filler” – but that’s not accurate.
You’re not FILLING your wrinkles with anything outside of your body. You’re not even filling them with your plasma.
You’re FEEDING a type of cell called fibroblasts that are responsible for REJUVENATING your skin… with NEW building materials like collagen and elastin.
Typically, it takes 3 or more treatments a few weeks apart in order to have an effect. You’ll need to see a board-certified dermatologist for this one, as you’ll need a clinician who knows how to use all the medical devices involved.
Beware of any cosmetic spas or salons who say they offer this treatment. It requires a sterile environment to draw your blood… process the platelets… and inject them back into you.
Your doc will probably have you temporarily quit taking any prescription blood thinners or herbs that may thin your blood.
