What is the content of PRP?
While there is 6% thrombocytes per mm3 in the circulation, this rate is 93% per mm3 of PRP. In the separated serum, there are leukocytes, many growth factors and cytokines, as well as dense thrombocyte content. All these play a very important role in the restructuring of the skin and wound healing. Since it is the patient’s own product (autologous), it does not pose a risk in terms of infectious diseases and allergies. There are no side effects other than spot bleeding, redness and small bruising in the application area. Ease of application of PRP and few side effects It is a safe and effective treatment.
What is PRP used for?
PRP was first used in 1980 for non-healing and difficult-to-treat wounds. Apart from dermatology, it is also used by orthopedics, plastic surgery, physical therapy and rehabilitation and dentists.
PRP in dermatology:
Chronic ulcer treatment
Hair loss
Skin rejuvenation and wrinkle treatment
acne scars
It is used alone or as an adjunct treatment in the treatment of blemishes.
It stimulates the growth of hair follicle in hair loss. Studies have shown that PRP prevents hair loss, thickens hair and prolongs hair life. PRP on the scalp is recommended for 4-6 sessions at 3-4 week intervals.
In facial rejuvenation, it is used alone with injection or in combination with laser and radiofrequency to prevent and remove age and sun-related damage to the face, neck and back of the hands. It rejuvenates and restructures the skin in the most natural way. Since collagen synthesis continues for up to 6 months, its effect is long-lasting. It supports its vital functions. It alleviates wrinkles and lines by rejuvenating the skin, not by filling it. The skin gets a more lively, bright and healthy appearance. For this purpose, 3 sessions are performed in 3-4 week periods. By repeating these sessions once a year, a long-term rejuvenating effect is achieved.
For acne scars, PRP provides significant improvement, especially with dermaroller (microneedling), fractional carbon dioxide laser and needle radiofrequency.
With the preventive effect of TGF beta in PRP content, it is also used in the treatment of stains. Sessions are performed 3-4 times with 3-4 week intervals.
