What is PRP Treatment?
PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) treatment is the process of applying enriched plasma obtained from the person's own blood to problematic areas in order to promote skin regeneration. This treatment involves plasma obtained by separating and concentrating platelets in the blood. Platelets are rich in growth factors that support skin regeneration. PRP treatment helps eliminate fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars and irregularities in skin tone. It can also be used to treat hair loss. This method increases the elasticity of the skin, providing a younger and more vibrant appearance. Since the treatment is a natural method and the person's own blood is used, the risk of allergic reactions is quite low. PRP supports the repair of skin damage by accelerating the healing process. By increasing collagen production in the skin, it contributes to a firmer and smoother skin.
How is PRP Treatment Done?
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) treatment is a treatment method that uses platelet-rich plasma obtained from the person's own blood. Dr. As Esra Nur Ünal, the PRP treatment we apply in our clinic is generally carried out with the following steps:
First, the appropriate amount of blood is taken for the area to be treated. The blood is drawn into a special tube in a sterile environment. The blood taken is then placed in the centrifuge device. The centrifuge separates the components of the blood by spinning the blood at high speed. As a result of this process, plasma containing high levels of platelets and growth factors is obtained.
Afterwards, the resulting platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is injected into the area to be treated. During the injection process, PRP is accurately applied to the target area using thin needles. PRP is injected into the lower layers of the skin, accelerating the natural healing processes and regenerating the skin.
PRP treatment is usually performed with local anesthesia and the procedure time varies between 30 and 60 minutes. There may be slight redness or swelling after treatment, but these effects usually disappear in a short time. Most patients can return to their daily lives quickly after the procedure.
