Are you struggling with joint pain that affects your daily life? At SPF Cosmetic Dermatology in Woodland Hills, we understand the impact that joint discomfort can have on your overall well-being. That’s why we offer advanced joint injection therapies to provide relief and enhance your quality of life.
Our Approach to Joint Injections in Woodland Hills
At SPF Cosmetic Dermatology, we prioritize patient comfort, safety, and satisfaction. Our experienced and board-certified dermatologists specialize in joint injections, utilizing cutting-edge techniques to target and alleviate joint pain effectively.
Joint Injections with Platelet-rich plasma therapy, sometimes called PRP therapy or Stem Cell therapy, attempts to take advantage of natural healing properties to repair damaged cartilage, tendons, ligaments, muscles, or even bone. Joint injections are injections of different medications used to temporarily treat joint pain.
The types of joint injections available to patients include: STEM CELLS – Placental tissue matrix (PTM) injections: Placental tissue matrix injections, also called PTM injections, use placental tissue collected after a healthy birth. Mothers can choose to donate their placenta after giving birth to a child. Placental tissue helps decrease inflammation and promote healing because it contains amniotic stem cells.
Corticosteroid injections: Corticosteroid injections use a combination of steroid medication and an anesthetic to reduce inflammation in order to alleviate pain.
Hyaluronic acid injections: Hyaluronic acid injections are typically used in the knee. These injections are applied when corticosteroid injections are not successful in relieving pain. Hyaluronic acid is similar to the naturally occurring substance in the body that lubricates the joints. By injecting additional hyaluronic acid into the knee, doctors aim to create more lubrication in the joint, helping it to function properly.
Platelet-rich plasma injections: Platelet-rich-plasma injections, also called PRP injections, use the patient’s own blood to stimulate and encourage the body’s natural healing process of the cartilage and tissues within the joints.
Conditions Treated with Joint Injections in Woodland Hills
Joint injections can be a game-changer for various musculoskeletal conditions. Our experts at SPF Cosmetic Dermatology have successfully treated conditions such as:
Osteoarthritis: A degenerative joint disease that commonly affects the knees, hips, hands, and spine.
Rheumatoid Arthritis: An autoimmune disorder causing joint inflammation, pain, and stiffness.
Tendinitis: Inflammation of the tendons, often affecting the shoulders, elbows, wrists, knees, or ankles.
Bursitis: Inflammation of the bursae, small sacs filled with fluid that cushion the bones, muscles, and tendons near joints.
Your first consultation and examination will determine the extent of your joint injury and you and your Practitioner will discuss treatment and what can be done to restore strength, mobility, and range of motion.
A small amount of blood will be drawn and separated in a centrifuge from which the PRP portion is extracted. IF you are doing Stem Cells, there is no need for blood draw as Stem Cells will be provided.
The area to be injected is anesthetized with local anesthetic, or with an ultrasound guided nerve block for more complex, deeper injuries.
PRP or Stem Cells is injected directly into the painful and inflamed joint to accelerate the healing process. If there is a significant amount of scar tissue in the injury, it may be loosened with the needle to help increase blood supply.
PRP and Stem Cell therapy has been shown through use to be safe for most patients.
Most procedures take less than an hour and a half, of which only about 30 minutes is the procedure itself. Regenerated healthy tissue may take weeks to produce, so this therapy is not an instant cure. Most patients can return to work the next day. The final healing process could require several weeks, depending upon the kind and degree of injury. However, a successful PRP or Stem Cell procedure will not require the recovery time associated with surgery. Chronic tendon injuries generally take the longest to heal.

MJ was so incredible! She was so knowledgeable, sweet, friendly, and made me feel so comfortable! I am so happy to know I found my new place for all services! I couldn’t be happier with my results and 10/10 recommend!! When it comes to injections it is so important to find someone you have full confidence in and found that with MJ!
Brittny S.
I’ve been seeing MJ for my knee pain and have had 3 series of PRP joint Injections into my right knee, and I have never felt better! I use to have pain everyday towards the end of the day! We did one series of stem cells, and the other two were just PRP. I’m FINALLY pain free and have never felt better! I’m so glad I found her! Now we did my first round of Sculptra, and I’m so excited to see the collagen grow. I love how she educates me every step of the way. MJ is top notch. I highly recommend

MJ is the warmest and sweetest Nurse Aesthetician. I would not trust anyone but her! I recently did Sculptra with MJ and she was not only SO knowledgeable and informative but so gentle with injecting. She does all my Botox and lip filler injections.I love her technique and I highly recommend MJ with any injection. I even travel a far distance because she is that good and most importantly I trust her fully! Her bedside manner is 10/10. Trust me, you won’t be disappointed.

MJ is amazing, she goes out of her way for her patients and she cares. There aren't many places that will take the time to send you what you need prior to appointment. Mj cares and wants the best for her patients, and being her patient this means alot, I value the time she takes to explain every single step and teaches you at the same time, she is very honest.

I Came to S.P.F Cosmetic Dermatology and Met MJ and she’s been so warm and welcoming , I mentioned to her I’ve tried everything to loose weight and she recommended Semaglutide which is a once a week injection drinking plenty of fluids. I started in April at 226 and it’s now June 14 and I weigh 213 !!! I’m in total shock thank you !! Mj !! You truest are the best !!

I have to say that this was the best experience I’ve had at a med spa. Not only was the service exceptional, M.J. truly made me feel at ease and her level of honesty regarding the results I was looking for was none other than professionalism at its best. It was exactly the type of consultation I was looking for. Her fun and congenial personality made my time there all that more enjoyable. Thank you MJ.! I finally found the perfect place for all my beauty needs!
