What is regenerative medicine?

Regenerative medicine is one of the medical field’s most innovative and exciting branches today. As the name implies, regenerative medicine focuses on regenerating damaged or dead cells. 

Regenerative medicine is used in many parts of the medical field, from injury healing to chronic disease management to aesthetics and wellness.

How can regenerative medicine help me?

Tulsi Wellness Club offers two types of regenerative medicine, including:

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP)

PRP is derived from your blood. An advanced treatment process removes the platelets — the cells containing growth factors that promote tissue healing and regeneration — from your blood. 

The platelets are heavily concentrated, making a platelet-heavy product with up to 10 times the usual regenerative power. 

Microneedling is a popular PRP treatment at Tulsi Wellness Club. In microneedling, the team uses tiny sterile needles to puncture your skin. Then, they apply the PRP so it can travel directly to the deeper skin layer. There, it stimulates the growth of collagen and elastin, which leads to firmer skin, better skin elasticity, fewer wrinkles, and a refreshed appearance.

PRP is also helpful for hair loss. Growth factors can stimulate new blood vessel growth in the scalp, which can then work alongside stem cell treatments to give you maximum hair regrowth. 

Stem cells

Stem cells can differentiate, or turn into, any kind of cell, including hair and skin cells. Your body contains many stem cells, but levels decline over time. Adding stem cells from other sources, or using products that reactivate your body’s own stem cells, can produce amazing results, such as hair regrowth in balding patients.

The Tulsi Wellness Center team uses ACell®, an extracellular matrix that forms a scaffold under your scalp and recruits stem cells to inactive hair follicles. This helps hair follicles start growing again, and those reactivated follicles can also make new stem cells. 

Adding PRP to ACell helps you get the best possible hair regrowth. 

When will I see improvements after regenerative medicine treatments? 

Facial PRP treatments, like microneedling, can start to show results in as little as a few weeks. Stem cell treatments, like ACell and PRP for hair growth, can take several months to show results, but many patients have remarkable hair regrowth within a year.
