Why you should undergo PRP treatments in the Holy Land?
The basic theory behind platelet-rich plasma (PRP) treatments comes from the understanding that the human body knows how to naturally heal itself. The body’s first line of defense, upon injury, is to send platelets to the tissue or target area, via the bloodstream. In other words, platelets promote healing and restorative processes, within our bodies’ cells and tissues. This wondrous ability is at the root of PRP injections’ unique mechanism of action, which enables them to help heal the body from various orthopedic injuries, as well as to fight the signs of aging.
In Israel, PRP injections have taken significant flight, due, in part, to the continued rise in human life expectancy. In recent years, many people have come to the conclusion that they are no longer willing to resign themselves to living with chronic pain and other side effects of aging. PRP injections have become popular among men and women in Israel. Presently, the prevalent trend in the western medical space is to adhere as closely as possible to conservative treatments, and avoid or delay surgical interventions, as much as possible. Among the leading, most innovative conservative treatments in Israel, you will find PRP injections, iPRF injections, mesotherapy, and Regenera.
Our bodies carry plasma that is rich in renewable elements, such as platelets that help the body naturally heal damaged tissue. PRP treatments use the person’s own plasma-rich platelets to repair areas that have been damaged or have weak blood supply, such as damaged or worn joints.
With respect to orthopedics, the goal is generally to reduce joint pain. The most popular areas for PRP treatment are knees, hips, and shoulders. Often, improvements can be experienced within just a few weeks of injection – sometimes even sooner. This revolutionary treatment provides men and women in Israel with an alternative way to remain pain-free, be more active, and avoid joint replacement surgeries.
In the aesthetics field, PRP injections are used to provide a healthier, more youthful appearance, mainly in the form of hair loss treatments that encourage new hair follicles to grow, and treatments that promote younger-looking skin. In the field of hair revitalization, the treatment helps to delay balding and improve hair quality in Israel. This, via PRP treatments and daily preservative care, which includes pharmaceutical preparations, such as the prescription Minoxidil, and others. It is often recommended to combine PRP and other treatments, to obtain the best possible results.
How does it work?
PRP refers to proteins that are secreted during natural injury healing processes, via plasma-rich platelets. Growth factors can be found within the platelets. These platelets reach the affected areas first, enabling the fastest possible healing process. They are activated right before reaching the injured tissue, enabling them to secrete proteins that promote the growth of blood vessels, as well as collagen-producing fibroblasts (builder-cells). The collagen is likely to be extremely helpful in repairing the cells and tissue, and it is used to treat orthopedic and cosmetic needs alike.
How are the treatments provided?
In Israel, PRP injections are provided as follows (see the image below):
- Blood is collected (from the patient), just like in standard blood tests.
- The test tubes filled with blood are placed in a centrifuge, so that the blood can be circulated, and its components separated.
- The plasma-rich platelets (PRP) layer is removed.
- The PRP is injected into the patient’s desired area of the body (such as the hip joint, scalp, etc.).
There are many physicians who perform this process in Israel. That said, it is extremely important to locate an expert physician whose entire day is focused on your specific issue. Namely, a physician who spends his entire day focusing on skin and hair is ideal for a patient seeking PRP treatments on the scalp or facial skin, but less suitable for PRP treatments on the knees – an orthopedist would be better advised – and vice versa.
There is an importance to the equipment used in PRP treatments. Many physicians in Israel prefer to treat using simple syringes, which is insufficient for scalp injections. It is preferable to find a physician who uses u225 injection guns to more efficiently and successfully spread the PRP in the desired area.
Why undergo PRP treatments in Israel? PRP treatments in Israel come with significant advantages to those performed abroad. PRP processes in Israel can only be performed by physicians who’ve been authorized by the Israeli Ministry of Health. These physicians are required to use medical equipment that meets the Health Ministry’s most stringent standards. What’s more, health professionals in Israel are highly supervised by the Health Ministry, and anyone performing these treatments without the required medical licensing is breaking the law and risks incarceration.
Unlike in the past, you no longer need to fly internationally to undergo PRP treatments. Israel is currently home to vast expertise in the field, which only continues to grow and develop from year to year, with new physicians joining the restorative revolution. This, of course, is in the patient’s benefit, as increased competition leads to more affordable pricing for professional, supervised, and accessible treatments.
