PRP "Growth Factors" treatment, which is widely used today, has now been replaced by CGF-CD34 (Concentrated Growth Factor), also known as 2nd Treatment, which contains much more intense "Growth Factors and Stem cells". He started receiving Generation Platelet Concentrate treatment.
In the PRP method, thrombocyte (platelet) cells, which are the clotting cells in the blood, were used after being separated and activated (the growth factors in them are released) with 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.
Although these are generally called “ Although they are called "stem cells", these cells are not the same as the embryonic stem cells that are the subject of cloning and other types of research, but they are multipotent (the ability to transform into more than one cell or tissue type) that form all blood cells (white blood cells-red cells) and immune system cells. ) cells.
CGF-CD34 is the part of the blood with the highest healing potential. Not only can it be applied directly to the tissue, it can also be administered intravenously if your doctor deems it necessary.
CGF-CD34 has become increasingly used in the treatment of various diseases in recent years.
CGF-CD34 technique is used in the treatment of relevant cells. It is ensured that the entire healing potential of the blood is used by intensifying it in separate phases that can be used to provide rehabilitation of tissues.
CGF-CD34, which is frequently used as cosmetics and anti-aging, was later used in musculoskeletal system diseases, injured area healing, wound and wound healing. It has also begun to be used in burn treatment and hair loss. Normally, when there is an injury, the first cells to migrate to the injury site are the clotting cells we call platelets. These clotting cells form clusters when they go to that area and then stop bleeding by forming a fibrin plug. Afterwards, they activate tissue repair mechanisms by releasing the growth factors they contain into the environment.
They prevent meniscus tears in the joints. Repair of nits, partial repair and relief of pain, especially in osteoarthritis of the knee joints, application before joint surgeries, relieving painful stiffness and relieving pain in fibromyalgia disease, application by mixing into creams on the skin, removing wrinkles and brightening the skin, providing fullness and rejuvenation by injecting under the skin, fast in dental implant treatment. It has many effects such as providing healing, preventing hair loss, and accelerating wound healing.
How is CGF-CD34 Applied?
Firstly, blood is taken from the person. Afterwards, concentrated growth factors are obtained by special separation methods. The application area is cleaned with disinfectant and local anesthetic creams are applied.
The obtained plasma;
-
Direct injection,
-
Mesotherapy,
-
Microneedling,
-
In a mask,
-
Healing of wounds It can be applied by rubbing it on.
The application takes 30-45 minutes in total, including the preparation part.
What are the Conditions in which CGF-CD34 Applications are Used for Treatment Purposes?
For all sagging body parts such as face, neck, décolleté, hands, inner legs, cellulite areas, arms, wrinkles, sagging, anti-aging, scar treatment, lifting effect, cracks. It can be applied for the treatment of,
Fibromyalgia, sprain and sprain treatment,
Joint calcifications (knee, hip, shoulder, ankle ),
Cartilage - bone erosion and calcifications (gonarthrosis and patella tendinitis),
Joint, ligament and muscle injuries,
Meniscus injuries and tears,
Heel spur,
Waist and neck hernias,
Wound and burn treatments (diabetic foot, treatment of non-healing wounds and burns),
Chronic waist and neck pains,
Inflammatory muscle diseases and rheumatic diseases
Muscle-connective tissue adhesions
It can be used in the treatment of skin adhesions and thickening,
Hair loss.
Scientific studies are not sufficient to provide definitive information on this subject. However, it is recommended to apply 3-4 sessions with an interval of 2-3 weeks, as in PRP treatment.
In some cases, the number of sessions can be increased to 6.
For people under the age of 35 -45, once a year. While 3-session cures are sufficient, 2 cures can be applied every 6 months for people over the age of 45. Age is not the only factor; general health and lifestyle are also very important.
Although the benefits are generally seen after the first injection, full effectiveness becomes noticeable after the 3rd session. The effectiveness is shorter in menopause, smoking, alcohol use, poor nutrition, poor sleep patterns, and lack of protection from sun and ultraviolet rays.
Who Cannot Be Treated with CGF Treatment?
People with insufficient platelet count in blood count (hemogram) examinations,
Those with active infection,
Those who have a bleeding disease or use high amounts of "blood thinners" on the same day,
Those who have chronic liver disease (such as cirrhosis, hepatitis)
It does not apply to people with a history of cancer in the last 5 years.
