PRP has recently become one of the most popular skin rejuvenation practices. PRP, which has a rejuvenating effect not only on the application area but also on most of the skin, is performed by injecting the plasma taken from the person's own blood into the skin. PRP can be a solution to many complaints, from crack treatment to removal of spots, prevention of hair loss to elimination of the harmful effects of aging or sunlight.
What is PRP?
PRP stands for "Platelet Rich Plasma." It is a plasma enriched in clot cells and platelets. A plasma is obtained by centrifuging the blood taken from the patient. This plasma is then injected into the area of the human body that requires repair. The aim of PRP treatment is to strengthen and activate the body's natural reflex to repair deteriorating tissues. Since the injected plasma uses the person's own blood, it does not cause any allergic side effects.
How is Skin Rejuvenation Treatment Applied with PRP?
PRP treatment is not a surgical method and does not require general anesthesia. The application areas are extremely wide-ranging, including the treatment of stretch marks, spots, acne scars, and hair loss. It is also used to accelerate the healing process after aesthetic operations or dental implants.
Facial Rejuvenation and Skin Care with PRP
Skin rejuvenation applications usually target the face area. In facial rejuvenation with PRP, the injected plasma activates red and white blood cells. This triggers the production of collagen and elastin in the skin, enabling the tissue to renew itself. Often combined with Dermapen, microchannels are opened to allow the PRP to penetrate deeper layers of the skin, a procedure famously known as the "Vampire Facial."

How Often Should Skin Rejuvenation with PRP Be Performed?
The classical practice consists of 3-4 sessions at 4-week intervals. To ensure the positive results are long-lasting, it is recommended to repeat the treatment at 6-month or one-year intervals.
When Do the Effects Appear?
Self-repair mechanisms begin to work immediately after the first session. The skin initially looks more vibrant and radiant. Permanent and more noticeable effects, such as skin tightening and reduction in fine lines, typically show within 2 to 6 months as collagen production increases.
