Course of the PRP Treatment
The procedure begins with taking a blood sample from the patient, which is then placed in a centrifuge. The centrifugation process separates the red blood cells from the white blood cells, leaving behind the “liquid gold,” or PRP, which contains high concentrations of growth factors.
The doctor collects the platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and injects it into the desired areas where the patient seeks skin improvement. It is advisable to consider taking an immune booster at least one month prior to the treatment.
How PRP Treatment Works
The growth factors in the platelet-rich plasma (PRP) stimulate skin cells, resulting in accelerated wound healing and the production of collagen and elastin. These two factors contribute to skin tightening and overall skin improvement.
After obtaining the platelet-rich plasma (PRP), it is injected into the desired areas to achieve skin enhancement and firmness. This technique is increasingly used to treat dark circles under the eyes as well as hair loss, where regrowth is desired.
For women dealing with thinning hair and aiming for a fuller head of hair, three sessions are often necessary. The growth factors in the PRP stimulate the hair follicles, leading to partial hair regrowth.
