MetroMD Offers PRP Therapy for Knees in Los Angeles

Over the years MetroMD has been on the forefront of regenerative medicine. We have developed some of the latest protocols in cellular medicine, hormone replacement therapy and much more. One of these protocols is using patients own platelets to restore knee injuries to normal function.

MetroMD offers PRP therapy for knees by isolating a specific layer of a patient’s own blood for regenerative use. Typically 7-21ml of blood is isolated and then it is placed in a centrifuge to separate out the PRP layer. Once this layer is obtained it can be placed on sites to stimulate regeneration.

Of these sites knees is one of the most targeted. Injuries such as meniscus tear, ACL, PCL, or MCL tears can be treated. PRP is injected directly into the area that is damaged. This then stimulates the area to heal and ultimately restores anatomy and function.

Typically, 3-6 treatments are needed to treat a patient. These treatments are each done one month apart. After every treatment, the patient’s tissue should continue to regenerate.

Microneedling for Skin Maintenance

Microneedling for Skin Maintenance is a great treatment. Over the years we have done thousands of micro-needling treatments and with tremendous results. But did you know this is a treatment that can be used not only to correct problems but to also maintain the skin.

At MetroMD we recommend doing a light micro-needling treatment monthly. This is because our skin ages no matter what, we are exposed to sun damage, and the overall environmental stress on the skin is dramatic. Utilizing microneedling on a monthly basis can help rejuvenate the skin and prevent further damage in the future.

Microneedling works in two ways. One way is it actually helps exfoliate away damaged skin. The process itself breaks the top layer of skin and allows the body to exfoliate it away. This can help remove dead skin as well as damaged cells. Secondly, the controlled trauma caused by the micro needling stimulates new cells to form, collagen to be produced and overall enhances the skin.

This treatment is truly one of our favorites and everyone should see how this can change their skin over time. Doing this monthly is an amazing procedure to add to your monthly skin care.

Co2 Laser for Acne Scars

Co2 Laser for Acne Scars is an amazing treatment that MetroMD has been perfecting over the last 10 years. Co2 laser for acne scars can help treat unwanted scars. Many people have lived years with acne scars and have tried many treatments to help diminish their scars. These may include creams, facials, peels and more. However, MetroMD has found that Co2 Laser is our best treatment for acne scars.

MetroMD uses CO2 laser to resurface the skin and to diminish scars. Co2 Laser for Acne Scars is a great treatment especially when it is combined with a regenerative cellular product. MetroMD combines PRP, stem cells or amniotic fluid with our Co2 laser to ensure better tissue recovery and enhanced results.

Co2 laser treatment for acne scars works in the following way. First, the skin is numbed for 30min using a topical anesthetic. Then the treatment begins where the CO2 laser is fractionated and used to penetrate the skin. Microwells of the laser is formed in the skin causing a perforation which then stimulates the skin to heal. Over the next few weeks, the new skin is formed and ultimately acne scars are removed. However, at MetroMD we apply cells over the Co2 after the treatment. Since the CO2 laser is a type of burn to the skin we can utilize healing cells in the area to speed up recovery and maximize results. Cells such as stem cells are placed here and can help heal the tissue damage that is made by the CO2 laser. In other words, we are tricking your body into healing itself and removing the unwanted acne scars.

So if you suffer from acne scars. Try Co2 Laser for Acne Scars, it is a 21st-century solution to having better skin!

MetroMD Offers Fat Transfer With Minimal Liposuction in Los Angeles

Transfer of fat to the face using modern techniques has the longest lasting effects on restoring facial volume. Fat from other body parts such as limbs or abdomen is transferred to another area such as the face, buttocks, breasts, and hands. These body parts where fat is being removed will not have to undergo liposuction since only small amounts of fat are required for facial restoration. The transfer is commonly referred to as fat grafting. This is a minimal form of liposuction because the amount of fat that will removed is little as compared to general methods of liposuction’s used. Cosmetic eyelid strategy is one of the procedures that can make your facial rejuvenation even more pronounced.

Fat grafting includes injection of fat droplets acquired from other body parts into the area that has fat depletion. Adding droplets of fat to the face and not larger amounts ensures blood supply is more in these regions compared to what would have been the case with more copious amounts of fat. The ultimate aim of fat grafting is to recover the youthful appearance the face once had. Your face will be rejuvenated, and more balanced after the fat transfer procedure and less fat in other parts of the body may do you some good too.

Facial fat grafting makes the skin lighter and more radiant making you look younger than before. The reason fat transfer is becoming more popular is that there are no incisions made that have the risk of being permanent. Skin texture becomes smoother while your skin tone becomes more even. Getting the right surgeon is crucial. Excessive fat will lead to you regaining your teenage baby face that was round as opposed to the right surgeon who will help you have that triangular face that is so widely coveted. It also improves your general appearance especially when fat is removed from the waist and transferred to the buttocks, hands and breasts. Patients will also respond differently to different amounts of fat, so it is not a one size fits all package but a highly customized one.

At MetroMD, we have experienced doctors who can perform the procedure on you with minimum risks. Contact us today and start the journey to a younger looking and more confident you.

San Fernando Valley Chooses MetroMD for Stem Cell Treatment for Acne Scarring

Acne scars are a familiar medical condition in the United States. This skin condition causes pimples, swollen spots and scars. The skin marks are usually as the result of skin pores being inflated with dead skin cells, bacteria and excess oil. Sometimes acnes germ that survives on the surface of the skin may get blocked up inside a skin pore. Within the pore, the germ gets the ideal surroundings to reproduce fast. With lots of germs within the skin openings, they develop into red and swollen inflammations. The skin may try to fix these wounds through the formation of fresh collagen strands. But these repairs are not as flawless and smooth compared to the original skin; spots and scratches are usually left on the surface of the skin. These spots create a slippery skin that is sometimes painful and hot to feel; especially in the face, chest and back areas.
