What makes platelet so important? Platelets contain many growth factors, as well as a large number of proteins that play an active role in wound healing. With PRP, damage is created in the aged and deformed skin area during application and a large amount of platelets are given to the damage area. Released growth factors and healing proteins enhance the quality of the skin at the site of application, giving it a younger and radiant appearance.
PRP is used successfully in many fields of medicine. In the discipline of plastic surgery, it is used in skin rejuvenation, reducing the visibility of scars and acne scars and hair loss. It can be used alone in scars reduction and skin rejuvenation or by auxiliary methods such as dermaroller. In particular, it has been proven by many studies that it prevents hair loss and improves hair quality.
While preparing PRP, your blood is taken from 8-10 cc on average and subjected to a series of procedures. The resulting PRP is injected into your skin with very fine needle tips. The process takes several minutes. Local anesthetic creams should be applied before the procedure. However, if it is to be administered with dermaroller, mild anesthetics may be required. Slight redness occurs on your skin after the procedure, but usually lasts less than 24 hours. Although the procedure will vary according to the region to be performed, 3-4 sessions and 2-3 sessions after one to two weeks will be sufficient. PRP is obtained from your blood completely and it is a safe and convenient method without risk of side effects and allergy.
