What is PRP therapy?
PRP therapy (plasmolifting) or platelet plasma therapy is a therapeutic aesthetic procedure designed to naturally rejuvenate facial skin and stop hair loss. During the procedure, platelet-enriched plasma obtained from the patient’s own blood is injected via microinjections. The main function of the PRP procedure is natural natural stimulation, during which the physiological processes of the skin are activated. All this stimulates the production of elastin and collagen, which slows down skin aging processes and promotes skin renewal, the hair roots in the skin are regenerated, thus strengthening hair follicles and stimulating the growth of new hair. Also, PRP therapy is widely used in other medical fields. The procedure is effective for treating joints, osteoarthritis, tendonitis, muscle and bone injuries, and accelerating post-operative healing. Reviews about this treatment method from patients are the best.
PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) is a plasma in which the concentration of platelets is much higher than normal. Platelet-enriched plasma consists of plasma (the liquid part of blood) and platelets, which play an important role in our bodies. Platelets’ primary function is blood clotting, and they also contain growth factors that stimulate cell proliferation and stimulate tissue regeneration, thus promoting faster healing where it is most needed. In short, platelet-rich plasma is blood that contains more platelets than normal.
PRP therapy for the face
PRP facial treatment is an innovative, natural and effective skin treatment that is perfect for skin rejuvenation. It is a treatment method during which platelets from the patient’s own blood stimulate the growth of new cells in the skin, revive it, even out the color of the facial skin, and reduce wrinkles. Plasmolifting stimulates the body to produce collagen. Collagen is one of the most important substances for the skin to look young, beautiful and healthy. As we age and are influenced by various environmental factors, collagen production decreases dramatically, so to keep the skin young, smooth, and glowing, PRP therapy is undoubtedly an excellent choice, as it is a completely natural procedure.
Plasmolifting is recommended for women and men aged 30-35 as an effective anti-aging tool.
