Types of Regenerative Therapies

Regenerative therapies are designed to restore or improve physical function and appearance by stimulating your body’s healing process. Specialists at Seraphim Beverly Hills perform most of these therapies using stem cells, which can be harvested from your tissue or donated by another person. They either inject these cells into damaged areas of the body or use them as a skin graft to repair the damage.

Regenerative medicine aims to develop synthetic (synthetic) or regenerated replacement therapies for loss of function and repair of damaged tissue. The goal is to treat patients with minimally invasive surgical procedures rather than traditional ones.

Many regeneration therapies are available, and they could help you heal and improve your quality of life. Depending on your condition, your doctor will choose the type that works best for you. Some of the most common types include:

1. Allogeneic regenerative therapy

Allogeneic regenerative therapy uses donor stem cells to treat diseases, injuries, or conditions in which you have lost or damaged stem cells. Doctors can use this therapy to treat heart failure, autoimmune disease, pulmonary fibrosis, and neurodegenerative diseases.

2. Radiation therapy

Radiation therapy uses high-energy X-rays or other types of radiation to destroy tumors and kill cancerous tissue. This type of cancer treatment takes place inside your body or on your skin or back. Radiation therapy can be used alone or in combination with chemotherapy or other medications. It is useful when treating certain types of breast cancer that do not spread (infiltrate) throughout the body as quickly as other cancers.

3. Platelet-rich plasma therapy

Platelet-rich plasma therapy, or PRP, is a regenerative therapy that uses your blood to help heal injuries and accelerate recovery. In PRP, a doctor will take your blood and spin it in a centrifuge. This process separates the platelets from their normal cells, leaving more highly concentrated plasma (the solution). The plasma is then injected into an injured area of your body, where it can be used as an adhesive that heals faster than traditional methods.

4. Prolotherapy

Prolotherapy is a regenerative therapy that uses a natural healing process to help your body heal. Prolotherapy involves injecting a solution into the affected area to stimulate the growth of new tissue, which can then be used as an effective treatment for pain or other issues. The injections are typically given at least once weekly for up to three months.

5. Stem cell therapy

Stem cell therapy treats many conditions, including heart disease, stroke, and type 2 diabetes. Stem cells can turn into multiple different types of cells and tissues in the body, including skin, muscle tissue, and blood vessel growth. They are also found in the bone marrow and umbilical cord blood (which is why it is essential to donate).

The therapy involves introducing new stem cells into your body by injecting them directly into your bloodstream or under your skin with an implantable material called collagen scaffolding. That helps create new blood vessels or nerves so they can grow after being damaged by disease or injury.

Regenerative therapies can help improve conditions such as arthritis, back pain, and other injuries. They also help patients recover faster from surgery and provide faster results than traditional methods alone. If you think you have a condition that could benefit from regenerative therapy, talk to your doctor. Your doctor will help you decide if the treatment is ideal for you. Contact Seraphim Beverly Hills and schedule an appointment with a doctor if you have questions about regenerative therapy and would like to discuss it further.
