Platelet-Rich Plasma
PRP treatment for pain management therapy is a type of regenerative medicine that uses the patient’s own blood to promote healing and reduce pain. PRP contains a concentrated mixture of platelets, growth factors, and other beneficial proteins that can help to reduce inflammation and promote tissue regeneration.
When used for pain management, PRP is typically injected directly into the affected area, such as a joint or muscle, to provide targeted pain relief.
The injection is performed under local anesthesia, and the entire procedure takes only a few minutes to complete. PRP therapy can be used to treat a variety of pain conditions, including osteoarthritis, tendinitis, and muscle strains. It can also be used to promote healing after surgical procedures.
In addition to providing a more contoured and shapely figure, Lipo 3D can also improve self-confidence and body image. Patients may also experience a boost in their overall health and well-being, as excess fat around the waist, hips, and thighs can increase the risk of various health conditions.
Lipo 3D typically involves making small incisions in the targeted areas and using a cannula (a thin, hollow tube) to suction out fat cells. The procedure is usually performed under general anesthesia and can take several hours, depending on the extent of the treatment. Recovery time varies, but patients should expect to take some time off work and avoid strenuous activity for a few weeks following the surgery.
Like any surgery, Lipo 3D carries some risks, including bleeding, infection, and scarring. It is important to carefully follow your plastic surgeon's pre- and post-operative instructions to minimize these risks. Additionally, patients should be aware that Lipo 3D is not a weight loss procedure and that maintaining a healthy diet and exercise regimen is necessary to maintain the results of the surgery.

What People Says!
Our patients confirm how they feel after performing this procedure at Vitto MD.
I was with my 93 yr old Mother during her appointments. The staff was very attentive and kind to us. Dr Vitto was all business and didn’t really explain in detail the procedure. This made my Mother very apprehensive about the appointment. While I understand most patients don’t understand medical terminology, a simple explanation could always be given. The procedure was quick and efficient. Thank you for that.
