LP-CGF is an injectable regenerative treatment in which we harvest platelets, growth factors, and CD34+ stem cells from the patient's blood for injection into areas of their body that would benefit from a regenerative stimulus.
When you arrive at the clinic we answer any questions you may have, draw blood, and process the blood to create the LP-CGF. This process takes 20 - 30 minutes during which you can relax. We then help you get comfortably positioned for injection and administer nitrous oxide sedation (if you wish) to lessen anxiety and discomfort with the treatment. Discomfort with the procedure is similar to any other joint injection. We then clean the skin with surgical prep and inject the LP-CGF wherever you're having symptoms.
Absolutely. If you have other areas with symptoms we can create additional LP-CGF by drawing additional blood. The blood used for the procedure is quickly replaced by the body.
Compared to PRP procedures offered at other clinics, Renewal's LP-CGF treatment provides more platelets, significantly higher levels of the growth factors that trigger a healing response, and it includes CD34+ circulating stem cells that are not present in PRP. LP-CGF gives a substantially greater regenerative boost than PRP.
Renewal's LP-CGF Treatment can be performed by itself, or it can be performed as part of Renewal's Ultimate Regenerative Protocol - a course of Renewal's Alpha2Active, Renewal's Bone Marrow Stem Cell Treatment, and Renewal's LP-CGF (liquid phase concentrated growth factors). In this protocol, Alpha-2 Macroglobulin is used first to halt the effects of the damaging enzymes present in arthritic joints or injured tissue. This gets pain relief started right away and prepares the treated area to benefit most from further regenerative treatment. Renewal's Bone Marrow Stem Cell Treatment then delivers a whopping dose of growth factors, exosomes, and your body's own pluripotent stem cells to get the ball rolling. LP-CGF follows up with additional pain relief and a healthy dose of growth factors to maximize the benefit of the bone marrow stem cell treatment. This stepwise, science-based treatment plan gives your body the best regenerative treatment available anywhere, helping get you back to the activities you love without delay.
Regenerative treatments in general are not covered by insurance. At Renewal, we've structured fees for our regenerative treatments in a way that allows you to save when you commit to the protocols most likely to get you free from activity-limiting pain and back to activities. We also participate in CareCredit to help you get the care you need without being held back by cash on hand. Give us a call today to learn more and to get started feeling better.
