Vaginal Rejuvenation with PRP
Alpine Medical Group is now offering Platelet Rich Plasma injections for the vaginal wall to help women regenerate and heal tissue which can help with issues involving:
-
Urinary Incontinence
-
Sexual Satisfaction
-
Vaginal Dryness
Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) is extracted from the patient's own blood through a centrifuge. The activation of PRP leads to the release of at least eight distinct growth factors that typically aid in tissue repair. These growth factors work wonders by increasing collagen and elastin production, fostering angiogenesis (the formation of new blood vessels), enhancing blood circulation, and promoting the development of fresh nerve endings.
How Does Platelet Rich Plasma Vaginal Rejuvination Treatment Work?
Strengthen your pelvic wall with Platelet Rich Plasma at Alpine Medical
It is highly prevalent for women to encounter urinary incontinence following childbirth. The likelihood of experiencing it further increases as women lose support from collagen in their internal vaginal walls due to aging. While some women may develop severe symptoms necessitating surgical procedures, medications, or alternative therapies, a larger number of women exhibit mild to moderate symptoms.
Urinary Incontinence
Roughly 43% of women encounter difficulties in achieving orgasm, while another study indicates that nearly 89% of women simulate an orgasm. This should not be your experience. You have the opportunity to enhance your sexual satisfaction safely and naturally by harnessing the potential of platelet-rich plasma (PRP), making your genital region more sensitive to touch.
Sexual Satisfaction
Vaginal Dryness
Vaginal dryness arises when the vaginal tissues lack proper lubrication. This can be attributed to hormonal fluctuations linked to menopause and peri-menopause or can manifest as a post-childbirth issue. When this dryness stems from decreased estrogen levels in a woman's body, it is referred to as atrophic vaginitis. This not only leads to dry vaginal tissues but also results in a loss of elasticity, resulting in painful intercourse.
