PRP is the abbreviated name of the treatment method called “Platelet Rich Plasma-Platelet”, which is a new skin rejuvenation method. PRP is a facial rejuvenation treatment that eliminates the lines, folds, and wrinkles by using patients’ own plasma to awake collagen production and cell migration.

In PRP treatment, we use the repair and healing power of thrombocytes that provide blood clotting. Platelets, which contain the “growth factors” required to repair the damaged tissues, start a repair process by collecting in this tissue if there is damage in the tissues. PRP application aims to give more thrombocytes to the damaged tissue than can be transported by blood circulation. This newly developed method provides faster and better repair in the damaged tissues. The density of platelets obtained by this method is 2 to 4 times higher than that of blood.

How Is It Performed?

In a PRP procedure, blood is taken from the patient first. The platelet-rich part of the blood is separated by a special centrifuge and filtering process. This is injected into the area to be treated. Thus, a large amount of growth factor is released at the injection site. These, in turn, provide the healing of wounds, the removal of skin problems such as wrinkles, acne scars, and the renewal of the skin. It is critical to use it quickly without waiting after the separation process is done.

PRP application can be done in several ways. It can be injected into the sterilized area, or it can be opened with a dermapen and left on the canals as masking. The method of application and the number of sessions are determined according to the patient’s condition.

 

The first sessions are applied in 3 sessions, one month apart. Then, depending on the condition of the patient’s skin, it is continued with a single session in 6 months or 3 sessions in 6 months. From the first application, a healthy appearance and brightness appear on the skin.

In Which Parts of the Body the PRP Treatment Can be Applied to?

PRP is mostly applied to the face, neck, and hair. It can also be applied to the décolleté area, hands, arms, and legs. PRP is one of the first methods used especially for newly formed wrinkles around the lips. It provides a lifting effect on the face and body.

The procedures in which PRP treatment is used are as follows:

-Elimination of wrinkles on the face,

-Elimination of neck and décolleté wrinkles,

-Filling acne and similar pitted skin scars,

-The porous structure of the skin gaining form,

-Fullness and shaping in lip aesthetics,

-In wound treatment,

-In the treatment of surgical scars and burns,

-In hair loss.

PRP gives the most natural appearance on the skin since the procedure uses a serum which is obtained from the person’s own cells. It increases collagen production and has a long-lasting effect. You can contact us for further information about the PRP treatment and more.
