Growth factors
In Hilu
Medical Centre we are experts in
“Growth Factors”, which we use
at both, medical and aesthetic
level, in treatments for
rejuvenation, bones, tendons,
skin, hair, gums, blood vessels
and different parts of internal
organs. There are specialized
substances (proteins) capable of
stimulating grow and cellular
differentiation. This way, we
regulate a great variety of
cellular processes for
cicatrisation, healing and
repair of damaged tissues of the
body.
A chemical messenger able to induce
cellular growth of specific cellules in order to create
blood vessels, tendons, nerves, bones, skins, etc.
Action mechanism
 En
the event of cellular lesion or degeneration, Growth
Factors are in touch with cellules potentially able to
be divided, stimulated and that promote proliferation in
order to repair the damaged tissue. Likewise, they
stimulate cells to specialize and form structures such
as: bones, skin, muscles, tendons, blood vessels and all
support elements.
Whether due to traumatic lesion
or reconstructive surgery, the
application of Growth Factors
intentionally, it is added to
the function of Growth Factors
locally liberated in case of
lesion, accelerating the events
to form all elements of skin o
damaged tissue, and also
decreasing convalescence time.
In recent years, diverse studies
have demonstrated the
effectiveness of using some
Growth Factors, even in healthy
skin, in order to increase all
elements of the skin (greater
amount of collagen in its
different types, elastin,
extracellular matrix, blood
vessels, arteries and veins.),
producing effects of cellular
regeneration and facial
rejuvenation.
In colloquial terms, the
process would be to extract
blood and isolate specialized
substances in charge of
repairing lesions, and then
apply them to be treated. In
CMH, Hilu Medical Centre, we
extract and isolate these
factors using the required
technology without needing to
send them to any other
laboratory to be processed and
therefore being ready for
application during the same
process.
UsES IN MEDICINE
During the last 20 years, growth
factors have been used more and more frequently in
treatments for a wide range of problems. Reality proves
a great variety of possible applications of these
substances, such as the following list of indications
that most probably will be increased in the next months:
-
Delay in
Consolidation of Fractures.
-
In bones
deficiency and cases of
graft application.
-
Diabetic
foot.
-
Injuries
cicatrisation.
-
Fractures.
-
Improve
hair and skin grafts.
-
Pseudo
degenerative osteoarthritis
-
Varicose
ulcers.
-
Spinal
wound.
-
Gum
problems (Odontology).
-
Bone
defects
-
Complex
fractures.
-
Degenerative osteoarthritis
(loss of Articular Cartilage
in hips, knees, shoulder,
elbow, etc)
-
Delay
and/ or defects in injuries
healing.
-
Facial
rejuvenation.
METHOD
The method of
extracting Growth Factors from
human body and to apply them in
damaged area or areas is
relatively simple and fast
(around 45 minutes).
This is a painless method (without
anaesthesia) that should ideally be performed in
operating rooms, with the aim of guaranteeing cleanness,
facility and commodity for patients and doctors.
To this end, blood is extracted from
the arms or hand, it is then processed, Growth Factors
are extracted, mixed with several substances and then
used straight away in the required areas. |
