Dein Bezirk: Success: “Finally I Can Ski Again!”

Just a few months ago, the owner of the hairdresser salon OSSIG Karl (“Charly”) Josef Plasil could hardly walk because of pain in the knee joint. In the meantime he is skiing again and is walking quickly on foot – thanks to a knee treatment with stem cells from his own body fat.

Physical activity has always been an essential part of Charly Plasil’s life. Whether he is styling prominent customers together with his team in his salon OSSIG hairstyle & beauty or when he does sports. To keep fit, he always liked to ski, bike, and go Nordic walking.

After years of sporting, however, joint pain suddenly occurred. Charly Plasil could not move as freely as before, because his knee hurt. He was also increasingly troubled in climbing stairs. “To renounce sports was very stressful for me. More importantly, however, I always wanted to give my customers the best possible quality in haircutting and hairstyles. And a perfect haircut requires excellent flexibility, besides talent and good training,” says Charly Plasil. “I know DDr. Heinrich for years and learned from him about the new treatment with stem cells from my own body fat. In this treatment I saw a possibility of being able to move my knee again without pain, without artificial joint, and without general anesthesia. That aroused my interest.”

Successful treatment: Expert hairdresser Charly Plasil is back safely on skis and is also able to walk without pain thanks to a stem cell treatment.

The Viennese doctor DDr. Karl-Georg Heinrich is active in the field of regenerative and aesthetic medicine. For years, he has been dealing with body fat and its benefits for health and beauty. Body fat and its components also play an important role in the regeneration of damaged body tissue. The regenerative potential of the “mesenchymal stem cells” or “stromal vascular fraction”, which are abundantly contained in the fat, is now confirmed by a number of studies.

“Stem cells from adipose tissue have an anti-inflammatory and regenerative effect inside the body. In the treatment of joint diseases with stem cells, medicine makes use of this natural healing mechanism,” explains DDr. Karl-Georg Heinrich. Meanwhile, Mr. Plasil is again fit for the job and sports and enthusiastic about the results of his stem cell treatment. His employees also noticed the improvement of their boss: He was simply in a better mood and did not limp as in the last years. And skiing is again possible without pain! DDr. Heinrich: “This treatment could spare many patients surgical procedures under general anesthesia, artificial joints, and the long healing and elaborate rehabilitation.”
