PRP Face and Hair Care
Table of Contents
PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma), i.e. platelet-rich plasma therapy, is a regeneration method using growth factors obtained from the person's own blood. PRP, which is widely preferred in aesthetic dermatology, is effectively applied for both facial rejuvenation and hair loss prevention. This treatment is becoming increasingly popular as it is a natural method and provides long-term results.
What is PRP Treatment?
PRP is the process of injecting the plasma obtained by centrifugation of a sample of a person's own blood into the skin or scalp. This platelet-rich plasma contains growth factors that trigger regeneration processes in the skin and hair follicles. The main purpose of PRP is to accelerate the self-repair and regeneration of tissues.
Use of PRP in Facial and Hair Care
1. Facial Rejuvenation
PRP is used to reduce the signs of aging in facial skin. The treatment increases collagen production in the skin, reduces fine lines and wrinkles, and makes the skin look firmer and brighter. It is also effective in treating skin problems such as sun spots and acne scars.
2. Hair Loss Treatment
PRP prevents hair loss by nourishing hair follicles and encourages new hair growth. It provides effective results especially in individuals with genetic hair loss (androgenetic alopecia). It also improves the quality of the hair and provides a fuller and healthier appearance.
How is PRP Treatment Applied?
1. Blood Collection
A small amount of blood is taken from the patient. This usually ranges between 10-20 ml.
2. Centrifugation Process
The blood is centrifuged in a special device to separate the platelet-rich plasma. This process takes about 10-15 minutes.
3. Injection Process
The PRP obtained is injected into the skin or scalp with the help of fine needles. The procedure is completed between 20-40 minutes depending on the application area.
4. Recovery Process
Mild redness and tenderness may occur after treatment, but these effects usually disappear in a short time. Daily activities can be resumed immediately after the procedure.
Benefits of PRP Treatment
1. A Natural Treatment Method
Since PRP is derived from the person's own blood, the risk of allergies or side effects is extremely low.
2. Versatile Use Area
It offers effective results in both facial rejuvenation and hair loss treatment.
3. Long-term effects
The results of PRP treatment are long-term and provide visible improvements in skin and hair structure.
4. A Minimally Invasive Method
PRP supports natural healing processes without the need for surgical intervention.
Sessions and Permanence of PRP Treatment
PRP treatment is usually applied in 3-6 sessions at 3-4 week intervals. Post-treatment effects begin to be observed within the first few weeks and may last for approximately 1-2 years. Renewal treatment is recommended once a year for permanent effects.
Side Effects and Risks of PRP Treatment
Although PRP is considered a safe method, temporary redness, mild swelling or tenderness may be observed at the application site. These effects usually disappear spontaneously within a few days. Treatment by an experienced specialist minimizes possible risks.
Who Can Have PRP Treatment?
PRP treatment is suitable for individuals in good general health. However, treatment is not recommended for individuals with blood diseases, immune system problems or active infections. Before the application, an evaluation should be made by a specialist doctor.
Conclusion
PRP is a modern treatment that promotes natural regeneration processes and offers an effective solution for both facial and hair care. It increases skin elasticity, prevents hair loss and provides a younger and healthier appearance in general. Individuals considering PRP treatment can create the most suitable treatment plan for themselves by consulting a specialist doctor.
