Regenerative medicine

Regenerative medicine at Mediss Medical Clinic

Regenerative medicine is a field that focuses on stimulating the body’s repair processes. Collagen-based therapies support the regeneration of tissues, joints, skin, and muscles, helping to restore health at the cellular level. Thanks to these therapies, it is possible to naturally rebuild the structure of tissues, which is conducive to improving the quality of life of patients.

The use of collagen in regenerative medicine

Collagen, which is one of the most important proteins in the human body, is responsible for the structure and strength of tissues. In regenerative medicine, its use focuses on stimulating the body’s natural repair processes, accelerating the regeneration of damaged tissues and supporting their reconstruction. Collagen therapies can improve skin elasticity, support the healing of injuries, and also counteract premature aging of the body.

In our clinic, we use modern techniques that help in tissue regeneration thanks to the use of collagen. These therapies are ideal for both people struggling with joint injuries and those who are looking for effective methods of treating scars and improving skin quality. Collagen, as a natural component of the body, is well tolerated, which makes it a safe agent in regenerative treatment.

1. Collagen therapy for degenerative joint changes

Collagen therapy is an advanced method of treating degenerative changes in the joints, which supports the reconstruction of joint cartilage. In the case of advanced diseases, collagen therapy is the last attempt at conservative treatment before surgery. Collagen, as a natural component of the body, supports joint regeneration, improving joint mobility and relieving pain. This therapy helps slow joint degeneration, allowing patients to improve their quality of life without the need for invasive procedures.

2. Spinal mesotherapy using collagen

Collagen mesotherapy of the spine is an innovative method that supports the regeneration of spinal tissues through precise administration of collagen. The treatment involves injecting collagen preparations into areas affected by pain or damage, which stimulates the body’s natural repair processes. Mesotherapy improves the condition of muscles and intervertebral discs, reducing pain and improving the function of the spine. It is especially recommended for people suffering from chronic back pain associated with overload or tissue degeneration.

3. Scar treatment

Collagen plays a vital role in the treatment of scars, helping to rebuild damaged tissues and improve skin texture. Collagen therapies can significantly reduce the appearance of scars, improving their elasticity and restoring healthy-looking skin. The use of collagen accelerates the healing process of postoperative, post-traumatic or acne scars.

4. Skin regeneration (rejuvenating effect)

As we age, the production of natural collagen decreases, leading to the appearance of wrinkles, dryness and loss of skin elasticity. Collagen therapies stimulate fibroblasts to produce new collagen, which rejuvenates the skin, improves its elasticity and reduces the signs of aging. These therapies provide firmer, smoother skin and improve its overall appearance.

Who should benefit from regenerative medicine?

• People with chronic joint or muscle injuries
• Surgical patients who need support in the healing process
• People who want to improve the quality of the skin and speed up regeneration

What does the therapy look like?

Collagen therapy begins with a detailed consultation with a doctor who assesses the patient’s needs and selects the appropriate method. The treatment involves administering preparations containing collagen in the form of injections, often into the skin, joints or other tissues that require regeneration. Thanks to precise application techniques, collagen penetrates deep into tissues, where it stimulates regenerative processes and cell reconstruction. The entire procedure usually takes from 15 to 60 minutes, is minimally invasive, and the effects are visible a few weeks after the procedure.

Clinical trials

Clinical trials and research in the field of regenerative medicine provide increasing evidence of the safety and efficacy of cell therapies in the treatment of orthopedics, e.g. osteoarthritis, tendon rupture, ligament injuries, lower back pain, sciatica and many other conditions.

The choice of regenerative treatment depends on a number of factors, including the type and severity of the injury, comorbidities, and other issues specific to each patient. There are also a number of options for regenerative medicine, such as:

• PRP (platelet-rich plasma) therapy: The patient’s blood plasma, rich in growth factors, stimulates tissue repair, reduces inflammation and promotes the regeneration of joints, tendons and nerves.
• Stem cell therapy: Stem cells obtained from the patient’s adipose tissue support the repair of damaged tissues, accelerate regeneration and support the body in reconstruction.

The field of regenerative medicine is constantly evolving and developing.  Cell-based therapies are gaining recognition in orthopedic surgery and are used to speed healing and improve outcomes. The combined use of cells and protein scaffolds (tissue structure) is used in the engineering of cartilage, tendon, ligament, and bone tissue to accelerate healing and produce long-lasting results.  Repair surgeries for bone fractures or bone defects have been supplemented with cell therapy to enhance bone healing and mineralization.
