Today, one of the most popular methods among skin rejuvenation and hair loss treatments is PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma). This treatment involves injecting platelet-rich plasma (PRP), obtained from a person’s own blood, into the skin or scalp. PRP accelerates cell regeneration, tightens the skin, reduces wrinkles, and prevents hair loss.
What is PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) Treatment?
PRP treatment is a natural renewal and repair method using platelet-rich plasma derived from a person's own blood. Since platelets contain growth factors, they nourish skin and hair follicles, promoting rejuvenation.
PRP treatment consists of the following stages:
- Blood Collection: The patient's own blood is collected.
- Centrifuge Process: Blood is spun at high speed in a special device to separate platelets.
- PRP Injection: The platelet-rich plasma obtained is injected into the skin or scalp.
This process repairs tissues, accelerates cell renewal, and boosts collagen production.
