Say what you like about vampires; when it comes to anti-ageing wellness, they may be on to something. A new blood treatment, known as Plasma Rich in Growth Factors (PRGF– Endoret), potentially contains a cure for painful ulcers and dental problems, and can even be used for anti-ageing treatments as a safe alternative to Botox and fillers. Now, this revolutionary treatment will improve the wellbeing of Hampshire residents for the first time.
At her clinic Stardent, in Inner Avenue, Southampton, dentist Dr Mitra Najafi is offering the groundbreaking treatment, which she says speeds recovery in a completely safe way. ‘This is as safe as any treatment can get,’ Dr Najafi claims. ‘We are using your own body’s pharmacy, borrowing the healing properties and giving it back to you. Whether it’s used for anti-ageing, in the mouth or ulcer treatments, there is nothing foreign going into your body. It’s been used in many countries for many years very successfully. It can change a lot of people’s lives and it can save money.’
For the treatment, the dentist takes a sample from your blood and places in a centrifuge. This isolates your blood’s plasma, which is full of proteins responsible for repairing and regenerating tissues. The plasma is then injected to the area of your body that needs healing. Dr Najafi explains, ‘These proteins are in charge of healing, so we take the proteins out and re-inject a high concentration of them where the body needs healing. This speeds up the healing process in that area.’
If you are looking to reduce lines, wrinkles and dark circles under your eyes, the pioneering treatment is a safer alternative to controversial Botox and fillers. Dr Najafi says, ‘Women who have had the treatment with us say they don’t need to wear foundation anymore. They are glowing. It’s not like Botox or fillers where patients go frozenlooking and sometimes people can’t frown or use any of their muscles. This is your own blood, taking proteins out and injecting it into your own face so there’s a huge difference. PRGF is undoubtedly the next big thing.’
