PRP got its name from the English abbreviation ‘platelet rich plasma’. It is obtained from a cell called thrombocyte found in human blood. In other words, it is obtained from the person’s own blood. It has a cell regeneration and blood circulation enhancing effect. It is used to renew the skin for aesthetic purposes, to reduce wrinkles, to treat stains and to reduce hair loss. After the blood taken from the arm is processed, it is injected into the needed area with fine needles. Its effect starts in an average of 20 days and continues for 4-6 months.
After PRP treatment, redness can be seen on the face. Facial skin flaking and flaking can be seen. These effects are temporary. Not suitable for patients with autoimmune disease, liver disease and coagulation disorders. PRP treatment can be applied in combination with dermapen and laser treatments.
It is one of the preferred procedures to be applied routinely after hair transplantation.
PRP Applications for Hair
The main purpose of applying PRP for hair is to increase the blood supply of the scalp. The strength of the hair follicles increases in the skin with increased blood supply. Hair loss is reduced. Thickening of the hair follicles and an increase in hair density are observed. It is also used to increase the success rate of hair transplantation, as it increases blood supply to the scalp.
PRP Applications for the Face
PRP generally increases blood flow in the area where it is applied. Due to the presence of growth factors in it, there is an increase in cell cycle and cell regeneration. It may cause short-term redness on the face after the injection to the face. This is an indication of increased blood flow. It may cause minimal edema on the facial skin in the early period. It reduces the appearance of fine lines by increasing the elasticity and density of the skin. It helps to lighten the skin color and remove the blemished appearance. It helps to remove acne scars that occur in advanced age.
