PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) treatment, also known as platelet-rich plasma therapy, is a procedure in aesthetic and regenerative medicine that uses concentrated plasma from the patient’s own blood to stimulate tissue regeneration. Platelet-rich plasma contains growth factors that stimulate the natural healing and renewal processes of the skin.
Application areas
PRP treatment is recommended for various applications, including:
- Facial skin rejuvenation: PRP helps in skin renewal and revitalization, reducing signs of aging and improving the overall appearance of the skin.
- Combination with other skin regeneration treatments: PRP is often used in combination with other treatments, such as microneedling, chemical peels, or laser treatments, for enhanced regeneration and skin renewal effects.
- Hair loss treatment: PRP is used for treating hair loss, stimulating the growth and strengthening of follicles, thus improving hair density and health.
Is PRP the right treatment for you?
PRP can be an excellent choice for individuals seeking a natural method of skin and tissue regeneration, with minimal risk of allergic reactions since the patient’s own blood is used. Ideal candidates are those who want to improve skin appearance, reduce signs of aging, or accelerate recovery from certain medical conditions.
Visibility of results
The results of PRP treatment become visible after several weeks, as the growth factors act on tissue regeneration and renewal. For the best results, multiple sessions are often necessary, depending on the specific treatment goals and tissue condition.
Contraindications and side effects
- Contraindications: PRP treatment is not recommended for individuals with active skin infections, severe coagulopathies, pregnant and breastfeeding women, or those suffering from certain types of cancer.
- Side effects: Side effects of PRP treatment are usually mild and may include redness, swelling, or slight pain at the injection site. Since the patient’s own blood is used, the risk of infection or allergic reaction is minimal. However, there is always a small risk of infection associated with any injection. Most side effects are mild and temporary, disappearing within a few days. It is important to discuss personal risks and the suitability of this treatment with a specialist.
Consult with a specialist
Before deciding on PRP treatment, it is important to consult with a specialist who can assess your specific needs and determine if PRP is the right option for you. During the consultation, the specialist will explain the procedure, expected results, and any potential risks or side effects.
This step is crucial for ensuring the safety and effectiveness of your treatment. At our Esthea Polyclinic, you can schedule a consultation to determine if this treatment is the right option for you.
