PRP Treatment

PRP therapy represents one of the most innovative approaches in aesthetic medicine, using your body's natural ability for regeneration. Instead of relying on external substances, it harnesses your own biological mechanisms to renew the skin and reduce the visible effects of aging.

What is PRP therapy?

PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) is plasma that's rich in platelets and has a concentration 4 to 7 times greater than normal blood. Platelets are blood cells that contain over 300 proteins with regenerative action, including growth factors that stimulate cell regeneration.
The therapy is based on the principle that platelets, when activated, release growth factors that accelerate healing and collagen production. This biological process exploits the body's natural healing mechanism to improve texture, elasticity, and the overall appearance of the skin.

How PRP therapy works

When PRP is injected into the skin, these growth factors:

Activate collagen and elastin production - helping the skin become tighter and smoother
Improve blood circulation - so the area gets better nourishment and renews faster
Reduce inflammation and irritation - helping the skin heal more directly
Enhance cell renewal - making the skin look fresher and more vibrant

Benefits of PRP therapy

The clinically proven benefits include:

Natural renewal: Using your cells for regeneration
Improved texture: Smoother and more uniform skin
Increased elasticity: More firm and youthful skin
Reduced pores: Pores appear smaller and the skin looks smoother
Natural glow: Healthy and vibrant skin appearance
Lasting results: The skin continues to improve naturally, without needing frequent treatments

Application areas

PRP therapy can be applied to:

Face: Entire face or specific points
Eye area: For dark circles and fine lines
Neck and décolleté: Areas that show signs of aging
Scalp: For treating hair loss
Hands: For anti-aging and texture improvement

PRP facial: Targeted treatment

PRP application on the face addresses specific problems related to aging and skin wear:

Fine lines and wrinkles: Increased collagen production reduces the appearance of aging signs
Discoloration and acne marks: Cellular renewal improves color uniformity
Volume loss: The natural tightening that PRP causes partially restores the loss of elasticity
Skin dullness: Improved circulation and renewal offer natural radiance

PRP facial therapy procedure

The therapy lasts about 45-60 minutes and includes three basic stages:

1. Blood draw

Initially, a blood draw is performed, where the doctor takes a small amount of blood from your arm. Usually no more than 10 ml is required.

2. Centrifugation

The blood is then placed in a special centrifuge machine that separates its components. Through this process, the platelet-rich plasma is isolated.

3. Application

Finally, the platelet-rich plasma is injected into the area we want to treat.

Post-treatment care

First 24-48 hours:

Avoid makeup in the area
Do gentle cleansing with mild products
Avoid intense exercise

First week:

Use high-protection sunscreen
Avoid sauna and steam baths
Moisturize the area with gentle creams

PRP: When results show

PRP therapy results don't appear immediately, because they're based on natural skin renewal. The skin needs some time to "work" on its own, which is why results appear gradually, within the following weeks:

First 2 weeks: Initial improvement in appearance and skin texture
2-3 weeks: First visible results of radiance and elasticity appear
4-5 weeks: Significant improvement in fine lines and overall texture
2-3 months: Maximum results as collagen production reaches its peak

For optimal results, a cycle of 3-4 sessions with 4-6 week intervals is recommended.

How long does PRP last

The duration of results depends on various factors:

Patient age: Younger individuals tend to have longer-lasting results
Lifestyle: Smoking, sun exposure, and poor nutrition reduce duration
Initial skin condition: The healthier and better-maintained the skin, the longer the results last
Post-treatment care: Proper care and sun protection extend the benefits

Generally, results last 6-12 months and maintenance sessions every 6-9 months are recommended.

PRP vs classical mesotherapy: The differences

PRP :

100% natural material from your blood
Long-term results
Zero risk of allergic reaction
Deeper action on skin structure

Mesotherapy:

Synthetic components (hyaluronic acid, vitamins)
More immediate results
Rare possibility of allergic reactions
More superficial improvement

PRP for hair loss

PRP hair treatment on the scalp has shown significant results in treating androgenetic alopecia. Growth factors enhance circulation in hair follicles, improve their nutrition, and slow down hair loss.

Contraindications of PRP

PRP therapy is not recommended for:

Blood disorders: Blood cancer, bleeding disorders
Infectious diseases: HIV, Hepatitis B or C
Anticoagulant treatment: People taking anticoagulant medications
Pregnancy and breastfeeding: Avoided for precautionary reasons
Active skin infections: In the application area

PRP at different ages

PRP therapy isn't a "one-size-fits-all" solution. Each age group presents unique needs that require a specialized approach.

20-30 years:

Ideal for prevention, helps maintain radiance and delays the appearance of first aging signs. Fewer sessions are required and results are immediately visible.

40-50 years:

Targets improved elasticity, reduction of fine lines, and restoration of a healthy facial appearance. A complete cycle of sessions is recommended here for more intensive and long-lasting results.

60+ years:

Focuses on regenerating mature skin that has lost its firmness. Usually more sessions are needed and a combination of treatments for better results. The skin becomes smoother, more radiant, and gradually regains its healthy appearance.

Combination therapies

PRP can be combined with:

Microneedling (Vampire Facial): Enhances absorption and results
Laser therapies: For more comprehensive aging treatment
Radiofrequency: For additional tightening and toning
Fillers: For volume restoration in specific areas
