PRP

What is prp treatment?

PRP, or Platelet Rich Plasma, is a treatment that involves taking a small amount of a person’s blood, typically 8-10 cc, into a special tube. The blood undergoes various processes to separate it into red blood cells, serum, and plasma. As a result, the plasma contains a higher-than-normal concentration of platelets.

The millions of platelets in platelet-rich plasma attract more stem cells, releasing a greater number of growth factors. This initiates the body’s self-repair and wound-healing processes, increasing tissue collagen production and blood circulation.

PRP is used for purposes such as restoring elasticity, vitality, and radiance to aging skin due to internal and external factors, treating hair loss either alone or to enhance the effectiveness of other treatments, promoting rapid skin restructuring and healing after procedures like laser or peeling, and accelerating the treatment of wounds, stretch marks, and conditions where skin integrity is compromised.

How is PRP Treatment Performed?

The procedure, including the separation of blood cells, takes approximately 30-45 minutes. The platelet-enriched plasma is injected into the targeted area using very fine needles. A local anesthetic cream may be applied before the procedure. Since it uses the patient’s own blood, there is no risk of allergies or side effects. PRP is used for hair disorders and especially on the face for skin disorders. The effects begin to appear after the third week. The treatment is typically performed in 3-4 sessions, spaced 3-4 weeks apart. Subsequent maintenance sessions every 6-12 months help sustain the results.

Advantages of PRP:

The greatest advantage of PRP is that its rejuvenating effect is not limited to specific areas but spreads across a broader section of the skin, offering longer-lasting results. It naturally revitalizes and restructures the skin.

PRP can be combined with laser systems, peeling, and dermapen methods for skin rejuvenation treatments.

When is PRP Not Recommended?

PRP is not suitable for:

Individuals with insufficient platelet counts

Cancer patients

Those taking blood-thinning medications
