Skin Rejuvenation with PRP

PRP treatment is a new method used for treating sagging skin, wrinkles, blemishes, acne scars, wound scars, stretch marks, and hair loss.

Various physical changes occur in the skin with aging. These leave effects similar to injuries, and treatments targeting these effects can be applied. Skin rejuvenation and injury treatments are similar in this respect. After laser and peeling applications for minor damage to the skin surface, the healing process is triggered by growth factors. Dermocosmetic products similarly enable substances that restructure our skin or synthetically obtained growth factors to initiate a healing process. The structure that can repair damage to the skin most effectively, quickly, and naturally is again a part of the whole to which the skin belongs; therefore, plasma application has developed as a method that activates this power circulating in our vessels.

PRP is the abbreviation for “Platelet Rich Plasma”. PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) therapy, a new skin rejuvenation method, has been developed in recent years. In the PRP method, 8-20 cc of blood is taken from the patient and centrifuged.

How Does the Skin Rejuvenation Process Work with PRP?

The blood taken from the patient is separated from its platelet-rich portion through a special centrifugation and filtration process. This portion is reinjected into the treatment area. This releases a large amount of growth factors in the injection area. These factors significantly reduce skin problems such as wound healing, wrinkles, and acne scars, and promote skin regeneration.

In Which Cases is PRP Cell Renewal Treatment Effective?

PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) is used to:
Provide rapid skin regeneration after aesthetic procedures such as laser and peeling on body areas like the face, neck, arms, hands, inner thighs, and décolleté;
Correct wrinkles and sagging caused by years of UV exposure, restore elasticity and radiance;
Control wounds, cracks, and damaged skin quality that take a long time to heal;
Also, it can be used alone or as an adjunct to other methods in hair loss treatment.

Is PRP Skin Rejuvenation a Safe Method?

The patient’s own blood is processed in a closed and sterile container, and then the platelet-enriched portion of their own blood is returned to the patient. PRP application is “autologous”; the platelets used are taken from the patient themselves, therefore there is no risk of external contamination. Apart from this, nothing is added to the platelets given.

When Do the Effects of PRP Application Begin to Be Seen?

Starting from the first application, an increased appearance and radiance of the skin becomes apparent. The effects begin to be seen after the 3rd or 4th application. The results obtained after 3 or 4 applications are maintained with repeat courses applied every 10-12 months.

Is PRP the Same as Stem Cell Therapy?

In PRP cell rejuvenation treatment, the platelet-rich fluid injected does not contain stem cells; however, it activates stem cells. PRP provides a reparative effect in the body, while stem cells provide a regenerative effect.
