Have you noticed athletes and celebrities staying in the game well into their 40s? So how is the 45-year American football quarterback Tom Brady still at the peak of his football career? He isn’t an exception anymore. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) treatment has benefited people from all walks of life.
Dr. David Greene, Arizona’s Platelet-Rich Plasma Therapy - What Is It?
Platelet-rich plasma therapy is a minimally invasive procedure that treats various medical concerns, including torn tendons, arthritis-related pain, and post-surgery healing. However, in recent years, it has also been used for solving aesthetic concerns like skin rejuvenation, minimizing fine lines, and treating hair loss.
The PRP procedure begins by deriving the patient’s blood to prevent foreign substances from entering the body. Next, the blood undergoes centrifugation, where platelet-rich plasma is extracted. Platelets are known for their growth factor properties. Finally, the dense concentration of platelet-rich plasma is injected at the injury site to jumpstart healing.
Success Stories of Celebrities Using PRP Therapy
PRP is a form of regenerative medicine that has become highly popular among celebrities.
Angelina Jolie
Since the advent of the Dracula Facelift, the Maleficient actress Angelia Jolie has become a fan of PRP therapy. The collagen production on the face results in younger, more elastic skin with fewer wrinkles. This procedure has worked brilliantly on the 47-year-old actress.
Kardashian Sisters Kim and Kourtney
Is it even legal until the Kardashians haven’t tried it? In 2013, Kim Kardashian underwent Vampire Facials, a form of PRP therapy to give her face that youthful glow. In 2019, Kourtney followed her sister and got platelet-rich plasma therapy to recover from a bald spot.
Tiger Woods
The famous golfer injured his knee in 2008 and was advised to consider knee reconstruction. However, with the help of PRP injections, not only did Woods make a full recovery, but he competed without feeling the slightest hint of pain.
Kobe Bryant
The king of basketball was also a victim of a knee injury. He had been experiencing severe joint pain and decided to retire early if no therapy was found. Bryant heard of PRP therapy in Germany and became the first evangelist to introduce the treatment to the USA.
Alex Rodriguez
Fans worried about the baseball player being able to play after his shoulder and knee injury. However, Rodriguez surprised his fans by showing up on the field with no sign of pain or discomfort after trying PRP therapy.
