Regen PRP can work in several
ways, depending on the application
and the target area. Dr Ksenija Šelih
Martinec is a gynaecologist from
Slovenia and renowned international
speaker. She recently presented at
the 15th Aesthetic & Anti-Ageing
Medicine World Congress (AMWC)
in Monaco, where aesthetic
professionals from around the world
discussed the use of PRP for skin
rejuvenation, vaginal dryness and
erectile dysfunction.
“I have been using RegenLab PRP
for about seven years in the field of
aesthetic medicine. With RegenLab
kits, we produce high quality PRP.
There are no foreign materials used
and we don’t see any negative side
effects – we essentially just help the
body to regenerate,” explains Dr
Martinec. “About four years ago I also
started to use PRP in gynaecology and
patients have been very impressed
with the results.”
The use of PRP in gynaecology is
a new indication and Dr Martinec
is one of its pioneers. The main
indications for PRP in gynaecology
range from improvement in female
sexual dysfunction, stress urinary
incontinence and vaginal dryness to
providing post-partum rehabilitation
and rejuvenation of the labia.
“These indications are very
common and can significantly affect
a women’s life, lower her selfesteem
and negatively influence her
femininity. Until now, we did not
have any adequate treatments for
these types of concerns.”
“With RegenLab PRP we try to
prolong quality of life in one of the
most important aspects of a woman’s
life – her intimacy. The pelvic part of
the female body is the most delicate,
and is affected by ageing, hormonal

changes and trauma. There are
periods in a woman’s life such as
childbirth and menopause that
greatly affects muscles, connective
tissue and nerves. This can result
in problems such as stress urinary
incontinence, sexual dysfunction
and vaginal dryness. Helping women
to treat these problems can really
change their lives.”
“I have had great feedback and
find that my patients are very happy
after their PRP treatment.
Improvement is usually noticed
in about three weeks, with a series
of two to three treatments generally
required for optimal results
(depending on the case). The
results usually last around 18 months,
after which a maintenance treatment
can be performed.
What
does PRP
treatment
involve?
A PRP treatment usually takes
around 40 minutes in total. First up,
the practitioner will harvest your
own blood growth factors (which
your body uses to heal damaged tissue).
Two small vials of your
blood are taken and placed in the
specialised Regen PRP machine
that separates the platelets from
the blood. This is then put in a
syringe and re-injected into the
target areas in small amounts using
a very thin needle.
The whole process involves
minimal discomfort. Any swelling
or bruising after the procedure will
usually disappear overnight. For skin
treatments, any bruising disappears
after a few days.
“Regenerative medicine is a new
way of thinking. Trying to help
the body to heal itself is a very
exciting process and I feel like I
am doing something really good
for my patients,” concludes Dr
Martinec. CBM
