What is PRP treatment?

PRP (Platelet-rich plasma) is a procedure where a small amount of blood is taken from the body, the plasma is separated through a special process, and then reinjected into the body. The resulting plasma is very rich in cells called “platelets.” Platelets, whose main function in the body is to ensure blood clotting, play an important role in wound healing thanks to the growth factors they contain. With PRP treatment, it is possible to heal some diseases in the body and rejuvenate the skin using the person’s own blood. In PRP treatment, where the person’s own blood is used instead of medication, it prevents the slowing of cell renewal, especially due to environmental and genetic factors. PRP is used in the treatment of many diseases, from hair loss to skin rejuvenation, from pain treatment to orthopedic diseases.

In which diseases is PRP treatment used?

Due to age and environmental factors, many visible changes occur in aging skin. The elasticity of the skin decreases, wrinkles increase, and sagging occurs. All of these are due to the decrease in collagen and elastin fibers in the skin and the deterioration in their structure.

Anti-aging PRP treatment aims to increase the production of collagen and elastin fibers in the skin thanks to the growth factors contained in platelets.

With PRP treatment, a completely natural rejuvenation is achieved with 3-4 sessions performed at intervals of 2-4 weeks, without introducing any foreign substances or medications into the body. Those who undergo PRP treatment notice an improvement in the dry and dull appearance of the skin from the first sessions. With subsequent applications, a reduction in wrinkles and an increase in skin elasticity are observed in those who have undergone PRP treatment.

How is PRP Applied?

PRP treatment is a method that should be performed by expert doctors. First, blood taken from the patient is placed in a special tube under sterile conditions. Then, the blood is placed in a tube containing gel. The substances in the blood in the tube, which is placed in a centrifuge, are separated within 5-8 minutes. The plasma portion of the blood, rich in platelets and growth factors, is separated. The resulting mixture is applied to the relevant area using an injection method.

PRP is applied in 3-4 sessions, 2-4 weeks apart, and combined with mesotherapy depending on the individual’s needs. After the PRP treatment is completed, the process can be continued with injections 1-2 times a year.
