PRP means Platelet (thrombocyte) rich plasma. It is the process of separating a small amount of blood taken from a person into its components with the help of a separation system and returning the layer containing cells called platelets (thrombocytes), leukocytes, growth factors and cytokines to the same person in a concentrated form by injection.
PRP is an effective method!
Platelet-rich plasma application is performed to repair tissues damaged due to any condition and return them to their natural state. The body's repair process occurs with the help of platelets found in the blood and transported to the relevant area. PRP aims to activate our body's ability to heal against damage and achieve aesthetic improvement. PRP activates damage correction mechanisms under the skin as if there is damage. Thrombocytes are the smallest nucleated cells found in the blood and are responsible for clotting. The repair of damaged vessels and other tissues in our body is carried out by platelet and leukocyte cells containing growth factors. These warriors, migrating to the damaged area in the blood, secrete growth factors and stimulate the undifferentiated stem cells in the blood to migrate to the area and multiply, thus achieving natural healing. In order to make this healing process shorter and faster, these miraculous cells, which are activated by thrombin in the blood, are concentrated into platelets with the PRP method and injected directly into the relevant area at 4x - 8x times higher rates. Thus, tissue regeneration is achieved with a higher number of cells than normal.
The application areas of PRP are very wide.
It provides regeneration for aesthetic purposes and chronic wound treatment. Application:
1- It is applied as a skin rejuvenator! It provides healing with its damage healing mechanism in the area where wrinkles and collapses occur due to the loss of some tissues under the skin over time. Thanks to the growth factors secreted in the application area, wrinkles and sagging that occur due to loss of support tissue are improved. In skin sagging that occurs due to decrease and breakage in the amount of collagen in the skin support tissue, the collagen is restructured with the growth factors secreted by the platelets applied to the area, increasing skin elasticity and improving skin sagging. The entire facial area; By treating forehead, eye corner, nose edge, lip edge wrinkles, sagging and sagging, and skin spots and scars, wrinkles, sagging, cracks and spots in the neck, décolleté area, upper arm, abdomen, leg and knee areas are improved.
2- In skin spots; It provides treatment of skin blemishes by keeping the growth factors (MGF) secreted by platelets and the working system of melanin cells, which provide color formation on the skin, within normal limits.
3- Acne, scars and stretch marks; Platelets, which work with a wound healing mechanism around lesions such as cracks, scars, acne scars and scars that appear on the skin due to any reason, enable the lesions to shrink and become less visible with the growth factors they secrete.
4- In chronic wound healing; It helps the wound area that is extremely difficult to heal, such as Diabetic Foot, venous ulcer, pressure sore, to heal in a short time.
5- On the scalp; It increases the vascularity around the hair follicles, allowing more blood, oxygen and vitamins to be transported to the hair follicles. while; It stimulates the hair follicle cells with the growth factors it secretes, accelerates the hair production processes of the hair follicles and makes the hair healthier. In the area where there is hair loss, hair loss stops with the effect of growth factors on the hair follicle. PRP application on the scalp will not cause the completely lost hair to grow back, but it will stop hair loss by stimulating weak, broken, damaged hair and hair follicles whose hair production ability has stopped, and will make the hair appear brighter and more vibrant.

Latter; In order to maintain the current state and prevent the deformation of the skin over time.
PRP application is generally applied in 2 sessions at 21-day intervals, taking into account the cell activation and resting process. After the sessions, visible improvements in the identified problems are expected. After the first cure, repeating it once every 3-6 months is determined according to the needs of the person. The effects of PRP continue for a long time. In order to maintain the effects and prevent skin deformation over time, 1-2 sessions of PRP application per year are recommended.
