Doctor Huang said that PRP extracts its own plasma, so it will not be rejected or cause its own tumor, and it is quite safe. (Photo/Zhang Shijie) attending surgeon Huang, a plastic surgeon at Xindian Tzu Chi Hospital, said that in the past, the only treatment for diabetic patients was amputation, but now patients are encouraged to use their own blood to help wound repair and tissue regeneration, which will not only cause allergic or rejection reactions, but also increase the collagen content of the skin.
PRP extracts its own plasma, so it has no disadvantages such as rejection or autologous tumor, and it is quite safe. Initially, the medical use of PRP was to treat long-term unhealed wounds. Physicians often used PRP injection to relieve arthritis and foot ulcers, which provided another breakthrough in regenerative medicine for diabetic patients to treat wound ulcers.
In addition, for burn patients, PRP can be combined with skin grafting to promote tissue regeneration, and even ophthalmologists can use it to treat dry eye or corneal ulcer. In recent years, the medical community has tried to apply PRP to the field of medical beauty, even to diabetic patients.
Foreign medical research points out that if PRP is mixed with hyaluronic acid and injected into dermis and subcutaneous layer, it can improve skin firmness and smooth dents and wrinkles. Dr. Huang said that the so-called skin regeneration tissue engineering is simple? That is, through biotechnology, some cells pass? And cultured in an appropriate environment to form functional tissues or organs.
