Yes, new and proven aesthetic treatments are available that give great results. It’s not necessary to bombard your body with chemicals, toxins, and drugs to get great results and look and feel great. Some of these treatments are now being done instead of some surgical techniques at our clinic.
Hair Restoration Surgery Alternative
The first treatment I’ll talk about switching out for the alternative is hair restoration surgery. Today, in my office, we are able to use the patient’s own blood plasma, or platelet-rich plasma (PRP) processed in a special PRP tube to extract the most regenerative platelets possible. This is used to assist in growing hair in the area of the scalp that has become bald or diminished. The platelet-rich plasma or PRP is then injected or used with a micro-needling technique. Numbing cream is applied first, and the injections or micro-needling pen is used to painlessly expose the surface skin to accept the PRP. HCT, (formally known as stem cells) may also be injected or applied to the area for accentuated hair regrowth as well. Positive results are gotten without drugs, surgery, or chemicals, for hair restoration. This micro-needling with PRP or HCT, is also used instead of toxic chemical peels done to aid in resurfacing the skin. It is used to smooth out the appearance of scars, and wrinkles without burdening the liver with the dangerous chemicals in the peel products.
Facial Filler Alternatives
Facial fillers are very popular for filling the areas of the face that have been sunken or wrinkled. The dermal fillers are made of chemically-modified animal and non animal sources of hyaluronic acid. Some side effects from long-term use may include weakness of the muscles of the face, head, and neck. The alternative, safer treatment, involves the use of the patient’s own PRP. The plasma is then placed into a special incubator and turned into a gel which is then called PRF or Platelet Rich Fibrin. This gel acts as a dermal filler that is derived from the patient’s own blood. This natural “filler” then works below the skin to create a collagen scaffolding that will lift and fill the skin over time to create a smoother, lifted look of the area treated. HCT may also be used in conjunction to accentuate the results. This procedure may be used on the face, over the breasts for a breast lift, and in other areas of the body to fill in areas of sagging skin.
Toxins that paralyze the muscles of the face are very popular in reducing the appearance of wrinkles. One very popular product, Botox, is a form of botulism that has been around since 1989. In 2008, research showed that the product can leach into the nervous system and had even reached the part of the brain stem. The alternative to Botox involves regenerative cells that may be injected or used in conjunction with micro-needling to assist in the growth of the skin that is damaged and wrinkled. The facial muscles may also be strengthened by this procedure, giving the face a more taught, younger look, without leaching toxins into the nervous system.
PRP And HCT To The Reproductive Areas
Sexual rejuvenation can be attained by once again, utilizing PRP in the reproductive area of both males and females. Numbing cream is applied first, to ensure the procedure is comfortable and painless for the patient. No chemicals, surgery, or medications are necessary to revive otherwise sluggish tissue to painlessly improve sexual function and sensation.
These treatments are all great, viable alternatives to harsh drugs, surgery, or toxic chemicals. If you are eating clean food, exercising, and taking care of your body, why abuse it for aesthetics? These are proven treatments to accomplish the same thing without harm to you.
