Hair loss is a distressing yet common condition that affects over 70 million people in the US. Most of the men and women who are battling with balding seek the doctor’s help. Fortunately, the SpaMedica now has a solution to reversing the condition. The surgeons use PRP to encourage hair growth. The treatment contains a high amount of protein and other growth factors that speed up tissue repair. Since hair loss occurs due to damage of the hair follicles, PRP helps reverse the hair thinning and balding

The surgeons get the platelets used from the patient’s blood. They then put it in a centrifuge machine that spins at high speed, causing the separation of blood components. The medical professional will then inject the platelets into your scalp.

#2. Employing PRP to Improve Facial Appearance

Plastic surgeons also apply PRP treatment on the skin to reverse aging. It offers a fast solution for the damaged body tissues. The therapy utilizes blood platelets that help in initiating the regenerative process. Since the surgeon will use the patient’s platelets, there is a limited chance of occurrence of an allergic reaction.

Some parts of the body have minimal blood flow like the skin around the eyes, back of the hands, etc. As a result, healing in those areas is slow, and your body may need a little boost to trigger faster healing and repair process. The treatment utilizes PRP that has some hyaluronic acid and neuromodulators. The procedure results in improved complexion and can benefit when it comes to acne scar healing, hyperpigmentation, and wrinkling.

#3. Improvement in Laser Resurfacing

Laser resurfacing is a treatment plan which helps in reducing wrinkles and skin blemishes. The technique involves directing pulsating light on the skin blemish, which helps in removing the affected skin layers. The method can reverse fine lines on the forehead, mouth, and eyes. Skin resurfacing treatment can help remove unresponsive skin after a facelift or to get rid of scars resulting from acne.

Previously, the rhinoplasty technique was popular. However, it results in irregularities on the targeted bone. It would result in severe traumas on the surrounding tissues. Thus, it may translate to swelling and bruises, which increase the healing time.

#6. Breast Enlargement

Hybrid breast enlargement procedures will get adopted in the new decade. It involves the use of both implants and fat transfer. Thus, women who don’t have sufficient adipose deposits to attain their desired breast size can now achieve natural-looking breasts through this artificial procedure.

To make it more effective, they combine it with skin tightening and massages that promote lymphatic drainage.

For them to maintain the results, the patients combine the treatment with light therapy. It promotes detoxification and helps in reducing the treatment process.

#9. Radiofrequency and Ultrasound Procedures

As you age, the skin begins to droop. Usually, weight gain and loss throughout one’s lifetime contributes significantly to sagging skin. Thus, when you’re older, you end up with more epidermis than needed due to its continuous stretching and contraction. In the past, medical experts would treat these by cutting the excess skin. Alternatively, they would perform a facelift to reverse the drooping.

In 2020 however, surgeons will just employ energy devices that encourage the shrinking of the excess skin. They may use fillers to lift the cheeks and the skin around the jawline. Another technique applied is thermage, ultherapy, and Fraxel laser. It sends radio-frequency energy deep into the skin, promoting collagen growth.

#10. Improved Cellulite Treatment
