Natural Growth Factor Injections
Natural Growth Factor Injections
Natural Growth Factor Injections use your blood cells to treat the targeted area. What’s so special about growth factors? Your plasma contains cells with vital proteins beneficial to the body’s healing process. These tiny healing cells are called growth factors because they enable the formation of new cells. We specialize in treating tear troughs or the skin beneath the eyes, facial rejuvenation, and growth factors with fibrins. It’s a safe treatment and entails placing the solution in a centrifuge which activates the transferring into accurate layers. We collect the solution in the upper portion of the tube and inject it into the skin, scalp, and other body areas with unhealthy tissues. These concentrated growth factors stimulate the production of new healthy cells.
The pros of this treatment include:
- Revitalizes your skin
- Reduces the appearance of wrinkles and scars
- Aids healing after a surgical procedure
- Enhances laser treatment results
Why Choose Us? We have decades of experience ensuring your growth factor injection treatment gives you optimal results.
The Treatment
$350 per treatment, $900 for a package of three
Skin Rejuvenation
Skin Rejuvenation using growth factors is a non-invasive treatment that tightens and strengthens the skin on your face and eyes to give you a youthful appearance. The growth factors can be injected beneath the eyes or applied topically. This treatment stimulates blood circulation and new skin cells with a healthier collagen structure that can last years.
Natural Growth Factor Injections with Fibrins
The growth factor with fibrin injections remains in the treatment area for more extended longevity, causing more growth factors to activate tissue regeneration. We’ll make the growth factors with fibrins on the day of your treatment. A small amount of blood is drawn and placed in a centrifuge to transfer the growth factors to accurate layers. Then, we add calcium chloride transforming it into growth factors with fibrins. The calcium chloride gives it a soft gel appearance making a scaffolding that strengthens the longevity of the growth factors.
