PRP stands for Platelet-Rich Plasma, which is a medical treatment used in various fields, including orthopedics, dermatology, and cosmetic surgery. PRP therapy involves extracting a small amount of the patient’s own blood, processing it to concentrate the platelets, and then injecting this platelet-rich plasma into the targeted area of the body. Platelets are a type of blood cell that plays a crucial role in the body’s natural healing process. They contain growth factors and other proteins that help stimulate tissue regeneration, collagen production, and cell repair. By concentrating these platelets and injecting them into injured or damaged tissues, PRP therapy aims to accelerate healing, reduce inflammation, and promote tissue regeneration. PRP therapy is used in a variety of medical and cosmetic applications, including: Dermatological conditions: PRP therapy is used to treat various skin conditions, including acne scars, wrinkles, and hair loss. When injected into the skin or scalp, PRP can stimulate collagen production, improve skin texture, and promote hair growth. Cosmetic procedures: PRP is often used in conjunction with cosmetic procedures such as facelifts, liposuction, and hair transplantation to enhance results and speed up recovery. It can help improve skin tone, reduce scarring, and enhance overall aesthetic outcomes. Orthopedic treatments, sport injuries, chronic wounds, anti aging treatments are other areas that we can use PRP treatment. PRP is a medical application. It should only be done by doctors. After examining the patient, the doctor takes a small amount of blood into small tubes containing a special gel and centrifuges it. At the end of this process, the blood in the tubes is separated into its components: that is, the red cell part of this blood, which contains approximately 200,000 platelets per milliliter, is separated, thus a gel with a density of up to 1.5 million platelets per milliliter is obtained. This is called PRP. Platelets have functions related to blood clotting, but they also secrete growth factors that enable the healing of tissue damage. Therefore, PRP obtained from centrifuged blood, that is, the part with abundant platelets, is applied to the desired area, such as face, neck, hair, etc., either by mesotherapy method or by turning it into a mask. Thus, natural growth factors that will reverse the effects of tissue damage or aging are delivered to the desired area.
