PRP

The PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) method or otherwise autologous Mesotherapy is one of the most popular non-invasive techniques, which has been applied with great success in recent years. It has excellent results in terms of anti-ageing and the treatment of hair loss.

What is the PRP method?

In plasma, which is a constituent of blood are contained white and red blood cells and platelets. Platelets are mainly known for the role they play in the blood clotting process. Apart from this, however, they contain proteins, the growth factors that help heal the wounds, contribute to cell proliferation and the formation of blood vessels. PRP (or otherwise the platelet-rich plasma) is the plasma containing a large number of platelets and therefore more growth factors (about 10 times more than in the common plasma). PRP is prepared after the platelets are separated by the centrifugation process.

How is PRP applied?

Initially, a small amount of blood (20 to 30 ml) is taken. After the platelets are separated, the centrifugation process, which lasts 15 minutes, begins. Then we add a substance that enhances growth factors and is ready for use. The plastic surgeon through a small syringe with a very fine needle is injecting the material into the treatment points. The procedure is the same as in Mesotherapy and its duration does not exceed 45 minutes. The infusion of PRP is carried out with multiple head in the Mesoderi, after spreading with local anesthetic.
