This natural injectable improves skin tone and elasticity with long lasting results.

It can also be used as a non surgical treatment to rejuvenate painful joints such as the knees.

What are Natural Growth Factor Injections?

This cosmetic injectable treatment promotes collagen growth and rejuvenation of aging or uneven skin. Blood contains red and white blood cells, along with the powerhouse growth and healing agent, platelets. During the treatment, about 20cc of your own blood is processed at high speeds in a centrifuge to concentrate the plasma and platelets. That portion is then injected into areas of the skin needing improvement in elasticity and tone. For painful joints, the Natural Growth Factor Injection is injected into the joint directly. The total process takes about 30 minutes. After the procedure, you’ll see results in 2-4 weeks that are incredibly long lasting – up to 18 months. We see you for follow up visits at 2 weeks and 6 weeks to ensure healing is on track.

Are There Any Risks?

Some people might be concerned about the use of blood products, but only the patient’s own blood is used. As a result, this procedure doesn’t carry the same risks as transfusion. However, there are some patient requirements to ensure the safety and efficacy of Natural Growth Factor Injections. This treatment cannot be used on patients who are on blood thinners (Coumadin, Plavix, etc). Anyone who is using anti-inflammatory drugs, either prescription or over the counter, must stop them 7 days prior to the procedure. Cardiac patients who are on an Aspirin regimen may continue their medication.

Aside from these stipulations, Natural Growth Factor Injection is considered very safe. Though the cosmetic application is fairly new, the technology is not. Natural Growth Factor Injections have been used in medical applications for wound care since the 1970s.

Natural Growth Factor Injections can be used in delicate or hard to treat areas like under the eye – that other treatments are not approved for. In just a few weeks you reveal completely rejuvenated skin. Plus, results last 12-18 months on average.
