THE PERFECT MAGIC POWER IN YOUR OWN VESSELS
Our blood, which is always a moving living fluid in our veins, consists of two basic factors, one of which is plasma and the glutton is cells. An average of 5 to 6 liters of blood in an individual weighing 70 kg. are available. On average, 50-60% of this blood is plasma, which is in liquid form. One of the main cells of the blood is platelets. Their main task is to initiate the coagulation process. Platelets that come to the surface of the skin in cuts that occur in a random part of our body stop bleeding and form a protective layer. And this layer takes a valuable role in wound healing. New tissue formation takes place at the wound site in a very short time. The benefit of platelets has begun to be used in many areas of medicine.
WHAT IS PRP?
PRP; “PLATELET RICH PLASMA” is mentioned in the literature as the name given to the method of plasma application enriched from the platelet (thrombocyte) direction. PRP application; It is an application based on taking a small amount of blood from an individual, subjecting it to the centrifugation process in a special tube, separating it into its components and giving the PRP back to the individual by injection. This procedure, which is widely used in Europe, is FDA approved.
WHAT IS THE TARGET IN PRP APPLICATION?
Platelets (platelets) are blood components that contain the ‘growth factors’ necessary for repairing damaged tissues in our body and returning them to their natural state. When a random damage occurs in our tissues, our blood collects platelets in this tissue and initiates a repair process. Purpose of PRP application; this purpose is to deliver a much larger number of platelets to the tissue than can be carried by the blood circulation. In this way, the repair of damaged tissue begins quickly and powerfully and results in faster results. The reason for this is; The density of platelets obtained with PRP is 2 to 4 times higher than the amount in the blood.
WHAT ARE PRP OBJECTIVES?
The aging of our skin occurs as a result of losing some of its physical properties, just like in the process of injury. The structure that can repair a damage to the skin in the fastest, most effective and most natural way will again be a module of the whole to which the skin relates. Considering this effect, plasma application allows the use of the super magic power of the liquid circulating in our veins.
IN WHICH AREAS IS PRP APPLIED?
PRP application is just one of the application areas of cellular therapy. The application areas that started in dental – dental implants are increasing rapidly in many areas such as aesthetic medicine, orthopedics, non-beautifying wound treatments, sports injuries.
PRP STEM CELL APPLICATION AREAS USED IN AESTHETIC MEDICINE?
Preventing hair loss
Facial rejuvenation (face, neck, forehead, around the eyes, around the nose, around the lips, under the chin, decollete area). Since it revitalizes, rejuvenates and stretches the structure of the face, the application is also referred to as plasmalift in some places.
Body rejuvenation (hands, inner thighs, arms)
Wrinkle treatment, removal of depressions, giving elasticity and shine to the skin
Treatments for non-beautifying wounds
Crack and stretch marks Treatments for controlling the conditions where skin quality is damaged
Scars
Acne treatments
HOW IS PRP TREATMENT APPLIED?
Approximately 2 tubes (8-16 ml) of blood are taken from the person to whom the application will be made, and centrifuged for a while in a special device. The platelets separated in the centrifuge device get heavier and accumulate in the tube in the kit, and the resulting blood product called PRP contains heavy platelets (clot cells) and leukocytes (white blood cells). Activated platelets and leukocytes secrete growth factors. This work is applied directly to the skin of the person by enriching it with mesotherapy or filling and with some additional aspects according to the condition of the patient’s skin. The rejuvenating effect on the skin is felt a short time after the application, with a bright, lively and healthy appearance. Read on for the duration.
QUESTIONS ABOUT PRP THERAPY
Since platelets circulate freely in our own blood, why don’t they naturally go to the aging tissue and start this process
Essentially, platelets reaching the tissues by blood circulation can certainly do this. . However, this triggering process is not enough in an aging body with its general prestige. For this reason, platelets are turned into PRP and applied to targeted tissues.
Is it a valid practice to take the patient’s own blood, pass it through a process and apply it to the patient again in the treatment of PRP
PRP application is an autologous application. In other words, the platelets used are those taken from the patient himself, and all processes for blood collection and separation of platelets are carried out with the help of a sterile and closed kit. In other words, it does not carry any risk of contamination from the outside. Considering all this, this treatment method is sound.
Is it necessary to carry out processes such as blood collection and platelet separation in a laboratory in PRP treatment?
In PRP application, it is envisaged that the whole chain from blood collection to filling and mesotherapy or mask processes should be carried out in one place for technical and hygienic reasons. . Therefore, there is no need for a process to be performed in a laboratory environment.
Should the injection method be strictly used in the treatment of PRP?
PRP can be applied with mesotherapy and filling formula as well as with the help of a mask. In addition, PRP can be applied by mixing it into a special cream.
Does the mask way have a rejuvenating effect as much as the mesotherapy method
We can say that it has. Because PRP, which is applied through filling and mesotherapy, is also used by impregnating a special mask. It will show its effect in both formulas in terms of ensuring its passage to the skin. However, you will give the most effective way with your physician and skin care specialist who evaluates and examines you.
How long is the application period of PRP treatment
It is an application of approximately 30 minutes in total. However, depending on the condition of the skin, additional treatments can be applied together.
Is there a certain dose of PRP to be applied? How much is needed? How much is applied
There is no problem with overdose. All of the obtained PRP can be used.
When will the positive effect be seen in PRP application
After the first application, a healthy, bright and vigorous appearance appears on the skin. However, since it is not possible to reset the changes in the skin due to the effect of years, a permanent effect becomes evident after about 3 applications (ie, after it is applied as a cure). Shine, radiance and recovery are revealed.
How should PRP treatment be applied? What are the session intervals and how many times should it be applied
A cure consisting of 3-4 applications should be applied every 15-20 days, depending on the person, age, genetic structure and the damage caused by various factors over the years. After a cure application, a single application is made every 6-12 months, according to the individual, and the effect of the applied cures is ensured to maintain the permanent and anti-aging effect;
As one application a year may be sufficient for someone who is 30 years old and completes a PRP treatment and does not neglect the daily care of their skin…
40s, exposure to stress, smoking, alcohol, frequent sun and dirty surroundings More frequent applications may be required for someone who is left with a poor diet and does not show the necessary daily care to their skin.
PRP is not applied in which type of patient group
It is not applied in patients with insufficient platelet count and cancer patients.
HOW IS PRP TREATMENT A STEM CELL TREATMENT?
Stem cell therapy or cellular therapy is a practice that means introducing new cells to a damaged organ with the aim of curing an injury or disease. In the PRP application, it was started with the stem cell logic. PRP stimulates the stem cells in the area where it is injected and enables the stem cells to become active. In this method, platelets are used as a factor that initiates and stimulates the repair of damaged tissue. Injection fluid does not contain stem cells, mainly platelets (platelets) and white blood cells provide stem cell activation. PRP has a reparative effect and the stem cell has a regenerative effect. However, DNA activator can be added in PRP.
