Platelet Rich Plasma is rich in platelets. They are obtained by centrifuging the patient's blood, and the serum injected into the skin is full of platelets, which have up to 4 times more than usual in the blood, which release growth factors . For more than a decade, this rejuvenation procedure has been extremely popular due to the effects that are obtained with it.
This treatment helps the tissue to regenerate and is therefore used both for rejuvenation and for the treatment of osteoarthritis and injured tendons and cartilage . This therapy is one of the modern achievements in medicine, and its advantage is that it uses the body's natural ability to heal . For example, when we cut ourselves, the body's defensive reaction is to attract platelets to that place in order to speed up the wound healing process.

What does the PRP procedure in the clinic look like?
This is a simple dermatological procedure that begins with an examination by a specialist doctor at the clinic. After that, a little of the patient's blood is taken to extract platelets that release growth factors with prp tubes, and discard leukocytes and erythrocytes.
This is achieved by a special apparatus that separates them by means of a strong centrifugal force. The active substances that stimulate platelets to release growth factors are added to the serum thus obtained.
Centrifuged purified serum is applied to the skin with very thin needles, using the mesotherapy technique.
For 7 to 10 days after the procedure, the applied platelets release growth factors. In that way, better hydration and blood circulation of the skin is achieved , it is nourished and receives more oxygen . This treatment leads to:
- complexion improvement,
