Frequently Asked Questions About CGF Treatment

What is CGF?

CGF-CD34; It is the name of the layer containing platelets, leukocytes, various growth factors and cytokines after the blood taken from the person is separated into its components by centrifugation at four different speeds and durations. Stem cells called CD34 and Platelets in the blood;

• In blood clotting

• In the healing and repair of tissues.

• It plays a role in the growth, proliferation and rejuvenation of cells

• In the repair of damaged tissues and in the growth factors that trigger natural healing processes, that is, in the secretion of Growth hormone.

​

When any damage occurs in our tissues, our blood starts a repair process by collecting platelets into this tissue. The purpose of CGF application is to deliver a much larger number of platelets to this target tissue than can be carried by the blood circulation, so that the repair of the damaged tissue begins so quickly and strongly and results faster, because the density of platelets obtained with CGF is 2 to 5 times higher than that in the blood. .

 

Although it was initially used mostly for "Cosmetic" and "Anti-aging" purposes, it was later used especially in musculoskeletal system diseases, injured area healing, treatment of wounds and burns and hair loss. It is used.

How is the Application Done?

In the PRP method; It was used after the platelet cells, which are the clotting cells in the blood, were separated and activated (the growth factors within them were released) using special methods. In the CGF-CD34 treatment method, plasma fluid containing much more concentrated growth factor and hematopoietic (blood-forming) stem cells (CD-34) is obtained through different activation processes. Obtained plasma;

• With direct injection

• With mesotherapy

• By microneedling

• In a mask

• By applying it to the wounds

Can be applied.

How Long Does the Application Take?

The application takes 30-45 minutes in total, including the preparation part.

 

Applications for Therapeutic Purposes. What are they?

• In the treatment of fibrobyalgia and stroke

• In sprains and blows (Foot and hand)

• In joint calcifications (Knee, hip, shoulder ,ankle)

• Cartilage and bone wear-calcification (Gonarthrosis and Patella tendinitis)

• Joint ligament injuries (Meniscus injury and tears )

• Heel spurs

• Waist and neck hernias

• In wound and burn treatments (Diabetic Foot, Treatment of non-healing wounds and burns)

• Chronic waist and neck pain

• Muscle inflammation and in rheumatic diseases (Fibromyalgia, Myofascial pains, and muscle tensions known as shoulder pain)

• Muscle injuries, muscle-connective tissue adhesions

• Skin adhesions, skin thickening

• Treatment of hair loss (In the treatment of hair loss, it is injected into the areas where hair is lost, alone or as an adjunct to other treatments. In the treatment of lifeless, dry, thin and damaged hair, if the hair follicles are alive, it provides new hair growth, reduces hair loss and helps the hair to thicken and strengthen.

  (It is successfully applied to eliminate sagging, cracks and scars seen all over the body.)

• When Ozone is added to the CGF solution in appropriate doses for facial rejuvenation, it is activated by platelets, which are healing cells, and the amount of Growth hormone, which is a healing substance, increases significantly. The oxygen level in the tissues increases.

• Treatment of skin spots, pregnancy spots, skin and acne scars

• Those who have an active infection,

• Those who have a bleeding disease or use high amounts of "blood thinners" on the same day
