PRP (PLATELET RICH PLASMA)

The use of Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) in aesthetic medicine is gaining more and more popularity.

Plasma proteins and growth factors can stimulate stem cells and improve cell proliferation, differentiation, and regeneration, leading to skin rejuvenation and the production of hyaluronic acid and collagen.

PRP has been shown to improve all types of acne scars by reducing the size of scars. According to patient experiences, PRP is an excellent method for improving the structure of the under-eye area, reducing pigmentation and superficial wrinkles. Most often, PRP is used to improve the skin of the face and neck.

Additionally, it is an excellent procedure for improving hair growth.

Patients under 40 respond better to PRP because younger fibroblasts respond significantly better to the procedure.

A series of 3-6 treatments every 2-4 weeks is recommended.

Results can be expected only 4-6 weeks after the treatment.

Treatment areas:

• Loss of skin firmness, elasticity, and resilience
• Acne scars
• Hair loss
• Dark circles and eye bags

Not suitable for:

• Blood disorders
• Malignant diseases
• Skin infections at the treatment area
• Blood clotting disorders

Possible side effects:

• Bruising
• Pain
• Swelling
• Redness

How to prepare for the procedure:

It is recommended to stop taking blood-thinning medications at least 2 days before the procedure to avoid bruising.

How the procedure is performed:

A numbing cream is applied to the treatment area.

The patient's blood is drawn from a vein and centrifuged.

Then, platelet-rich plasma is injected into the skin of the treated area using a special gun with very fine needles.

With the gun technique, injections can be made as quickly as possible, significantly reducing the pain associated with injections.

Additionally, plasma is injected to a specific depth more evenly than with manual plasma injection, which improves the result.

After the procedure:

Bruising, swelling, and redness are possible temporary aesthetic inconveniences.

Makeup can be used 24 hours after the procedure.
