PRP APPLICATIONS

PRP, i.e. ‘Platelet Rich Plasma’ method is a medical application. It should only be performed doctors. A small amount of blood is taken from patient into special tubes and centrifuged. After this procedure, the blood in the tubes is separated into components. The upper layer rich in platelets, i.e. the blood part consisting of red blood cells, is separated, thus a gel containing up to 1.5 million platelets per milliliter is obtained. This is called PRP.
Platelet functions in blood coagulation; however, it also secretes growth factors having a feature that provides tissue damage heal. Therefore, the PRP obtained from centrifuged blood is applied on desired area such as face, neck and hair through mesotherapy method or by applying as a mask. Thus, the natural growth factors which will reverse the tissue damage or aging effects are given into desired area.
PRP is obtained from your own blood and triggers a biological process starting a countdown against skin aging on filled area. The skin parts which have weaker defense and are defeated in the fight against the abrasive temporal or environmental effects are supported. Skin looks brighter and alive. The sun and age-dependent spots that we encounter especially on facial area soften, under eye bags and purple color changes get better. Fine lines soften.
PRP is not a stem cell treatment; however, it indirectly works on stem cells. The growth factors in platelets are stimulants that convey the fibroblast production message to skin cells. Fibroblasts are the key structures for collagen and elastin production. PRP application on operational area and incision line in the surgeries such as abdomen lift, face lift, breast steepening or reduction, etc. reduces the problems such as bleeding, bad wound recovery, etc.
PRP is applied for 3 to 4 sessions at the intervals of 15 days. A cure consisting of 3 to 4 sessions is repeated after 8 to 10 months. It is quite safe. What is taken from you is given to you and it has scarcely any side effects.
