PRP- PLATELET RICH PLASMA THERAPY — OR PRP AVAILABLE IN THE OFFICE OF DR. MARK BISHARA

ABC News via GOOD MORNING AMERICA


A new hair-loss treatment is giving hope to millions of people with thinning hair.
The treatment, called Platelet Rich Plasma therapy — or PRP — could help regrow and thicken hair without surgery, drugs or expensive treatments.
PRP relies on the patient’s own platelets. The patient’s blood is drawn and placed in a machine, where the plasma is separated from the blood and injected directly into that patient’s scalp.
The platelets contain growth factors that stimulate the regrowth and thickening of hair follicles.

El tratamiento, llamado terapia de plasma rico en plaquetas – o PRP – podría ayudar a crecer y engrosar el cabello sin cirugía, medicamentos o tratamientos costosos.
PRP se basa en las propias plaquetas del paciente. La sangre del paciente se extrae y se coloca en una máquina, en donde se separa el plasma de la sangre y se inyecta directamente en el cuero cabelludo de ese paciente.
Las plaquetas contienen factores de crecimiento que estimulan el nuevo crecimiento y engrosamiento de los folículos pilosos.

Plastic surgery conference highlights new trends for 2014
Much like other medical fields, the realm of cosmetic surgery is constantly changing, adapting to new technologies and finding more efficient ways to deliver service to patients. At the 2014 Aesthetic Meeting in San Francisco, medical professionals presented a number of “Premier Global Hot Topics” that may affect the future of plastic surgery.
Conferences like this are critical for connecting cosmetic surgeons to new technologies and trends in the plastic surgery world.
Among the featured topics, surgeons spoke about a number of new trends and products that may soon see more use in the operating room. These new advances have been implemented by a number of doctors across the U.S., but the organization predicted that they will see more popularity as the year progresses.
Non-surgical fat removal
Liposuction was the most popular cosmetic procedure of 2013, with ASAPS reporting that more than 360,000 people sought this surgery. Fat and cellulite removal procedures see a great deal of success.
Voluma changing cheek contouring
Surgeons also discussed a new facial filler, Voluma, that was recently approved by the FDA. According to the Miami Herald, this filler can contour the cheeks in a number of ways, from adding volume to certain areas to providing a more chiseled appearance. One Florida-based surgeon told the source that the filler can lift, sculpt and even reverse aging – all of which last for up to 24 months. He also added that this option may provide fewer side effects than more traditional fillers.

Liposuction and Fillers are available in the office of Dr. Bishara and The Paragon Plastic Surgery & Med Spa, as well as many other cosmetic procedures.  Please call our office at (817) 473-2120 for more information.

Hair Loss News:
A man with a rare autoimmune disease that left him hairless was able to grow hair after treatment with an arthritis drug, Medical News Today reported.
The 25-year-old man has alopecia universalis, a rare autoimmune disease that causes hair loss over the entire body when the immune system mistakenly attacks hair follicles. Doctors at Yale University tried an unusual treatment using an FDA-approved drug, tofacitinib citrate, which is designed to treat the autoimmune disease rheumatoid arthritis. The patient was able to regrow a full head of hair, eyebrows and eyelashes, facial, groin and other hair.
The drug had been shown to successfully treat a less extreme form of alopecia in lab rats and this is the first reported case of success in a person.
“There are no good options for long-term treatment of alopecia universalis,” Prof. King explains, “The best available science suggested this might work, and it has,” senior author Brett A. King, an assistant professor of dermatology at Yale University School of Medicine, said.
The patient also had been diagnosed with plaque psoriasis, a condition that causes scaly red patches to develop on the skin. Prior to treatment, the only hair he had on his body were on the psoriasis plaques on his head.
After eight months of tofacitinib treatment, the patient has regrown all his hair and has not reported any side effects. Prior to treatment, he did not have any hair on his scalp or face for seven years.
Researchers suggested that the drug works by stopping the immune system from attacking hair follicles. King has proposed a trial using a cream form of the medicine as a treatment for alopecia areata.
There are 2.5 million Americans with alopecia areata, according to the National Organization for Rare Disorders. Symptoms typically surface during childhood.

Pérdida del cabello Noticias:
Un hombre con una enfermedad autoinmune poco frecuente que lo dejó sin pelo era capaz de hacer crecer el cabello después del tratamiento con un medicamento para la artritis, informó Medical News Today.
El hombre de 25 años de edad tiene alopecia universal, una enfermedad autoinmune poco común que causa la pérdida de cabello en todo el cuerpo cuando el sistema inmunológico ataca equivocadamente los folículos pilosos. Los médicos de la Universidad de Yale intentaron un tratamiento inusual uso de un medicamento aprobado por la FDA, tofacitinib citrato, que está diseñado para el tratamiento de la artritis reumatoide enfermedad autoinmune. El paciente fue capaz de regenerar una cabeza llena de cabello, cejas, pestañas, cara, la ingle y el otro pelo.
La droga había sido demostrado con éxito para tratar una forma menos extrema de la alopecia en ratas de laboratorio y este es el primer caso de éxito de una persona.
“No hay buenas opciones para el tratamiento a largo plazo de alopecia universal,” Prof. Rey explica, “la mejor ciencia disponible sugiere que esto podría funcionar, y tiene” el autor principal Brett A. King, profesor asistente de dermatología en la Universidad de Yale Escuela Universitaria de Medicina, dijo.
El paciente también había sido diagnosticada con psoriasis en placas, una condición que causa manchas rojas escamosas de desarrollar en la piel. Antes del tratamiento, el único pelo que tenía en su cuerpo estaban en las placas de psoriasis en la cabeza.
Después de ocho meses de tratamiento tofacitinib, el paciente ha vuelto a crecer todo su pelo y no se ha reportado ningún efecto secundario. Antes del tratamiento, él no tenía ningún pelo en el cuero cabelludo o la cara durante siete años.
Los investigadores sugirieron que el medicamento actúa deteniendo el sistema inmunitario ataque los folículos pilosos. King ha propuesto un ensayo mediante un formulario crema de la medicina como un tratamiento para la alopecia a reata.
Hay 2,5 millones de estadounidenses con alopecia areata, de acuerdo con la Organización Nacional de Enfermedades Raras. Generalmente, los síntomas superficiales durante la infancia.
