What is Placenta Injection? 

Purpose and benefits of placenta injections

The general health benefits of Placenta Extract include improvements in energy, stress response, improvement of sleep patterns, hormone regulation, relaxation and the ability to overcome a feeling of fatigue. Placental extract has also used for healing the liver since the 1950s. The benefits of placental extract reach beyond health benefits with outstanding results in anti aging and facial rejuvenation. The presence of growth factors and other bioactive compounds in placental extracts is thought to be responsible for these effects.

Placenta extract is thought to rejuvenate the skin by stimulating collagen production and promoting cellular regeneration. Placenta injections are incredibly affective in proliferation of hair follicles, injection of HPE induces an earlier anagen phase and prolongs the anagen phase resulting in hair growth and healthy hair. Placenta injection has a powerful anti-inflammatory effect through the suppression of pro-inflammatory cytokine.
