PRP; Platelet Rich Plasma (Platelet / Platelet Enriched Plasma) is a person's own natural plasma fluid that contains much more platelets than it should be. It is the person's own blood used in PRP. PRP is like donating blood to yourself before surgery. Since it is your own blood that is used, no immune reaction is observed. PRP does not cause an allergic reaction.
A small amount of 10 cc of blood is taken into small tubes containing a special gel and centrifuged. Normally, each milliliter of blood contains about 200,000 platelets. At the end of this process, the blood in the tubes is separated into its components and the part of the blood that consists of red cells is separated. This results in a gel with a platelet density of up to 1.5 million platelets per milliliter. This is called PRP.
How is PRP Obtained?
PRP Preparation:
PRP Application is a medical procedure. It should only be performed by doctors. PRP is applied with superficial injection technique. It is not painful. It is applied in a short time (2-3 minutes). You can return to daily life immediately after the application, no swelling or bruising occurs.
Research shows that the positive effect of PRP occurs through growth factors in platelets.
Platelets have functions related to blood clotting. But they also secrete growth factors that promote the healing of tissue damage. Therefore, the PRP obtained from the centrifuged blood, that is, the part with plenty of 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 given to the desired area.
In fact, there are two different blood products obtained with the proposed method; one is PRP and the other is thrombin serum. These are obtained with two different tubes. The PRP tube contains a substance that prevents blood clotting. In the other tube, on the contrary, there is thrombin, which enables the blood to clot and allows these platelets to be used as a filler. When these two are used together, the regenerative effect on the skin is more powerful.
In other words, a filler is made from your own blood and applied to the basic folds and fine lines on the face.
Fillers containing hyaluronic acid last for 6-8 months. Filled PRP is both produced from your own blood and triggers a biological process that starts a countdown against skin aging in the filled area! In other words, it not only fills but also sends support to the area whose defenses are weakened and defeated in fighting against the corrosive effects of time or the environment.
PRP Application is not a stem cell treatment. However, it indirectly works on stem cells. The growth factors in platelets are a stimulus that transmits the message to skin cells to produce fibroblasts. Fibroblasts are key structures for producing collagen and elastin.
Therefore, PRP works indirectly with stem cells by increasing the number of platelets that initiate this whole process, because the fibrin networks formed in the skin after the filling application collect the stem cells in the environment in its own structure. In addition, in recent years, plastic surgeons have started to apply fat injection by mixing PRP obtained from the blood taken from the patient during fat injection surgeries into the fat taken from the patient.
This increases the likelihood of the given fat to hold. Again, in surgeries such as tummy tuck, facelift, breast lift and reduction, PRP application to the operation area and incision line reduces problems such as bleeding, poor wound healing, etc.
If PRP is used under sterile conditions and with the right kit, there are no risks and side effects. Because the kits are a kit containing a disposable injection and tube for each session. It is extremely safe. There can be no side effects because only the blood taken from you is returned to you.
The skin looks brighter and more vibrant. Sun and age spots that we encounter especially on the face soften, bags under the eyes and purple discolorations improve. Fine lines soften. People say "You look so young. Did you have plastic surgery?" they may ask. However, PRP, which is an extremely natural method, only gives you back what you already have in a stronger way. This is your skin's defense mechanism. Another good thing is that the effects of PRP are also seen around the application area. When you have it done on the face, your hair also revitalizes etc.
PRP applied together with mesotherapy is performed in 3-4 sessions with 15-day intervals. After 8-10 months, another course of 3-4 sessions is performed.
How Many Sessions of PRP Application is Required to Get Results?
PRP, which is applied together with mesotherapy, is performed 3-4 sessions at 15-day intervals. After 8-10 months, another course of 3-4 sessions is performed.
There is another protocol where fillers and mesotherapy are applied together, where PRP is applied in 3 sessions at 21-28 day intervals. After six months, the doctor checks the patient. If the patient is in menopause or has bad habits such as smoking and alcohol, the doctor may need to do 1 more cycle. If the person takes good care of himself/herself, takes care of his/her health, protects his/her skin from UV rays, he/she waits 1 or even 2 years for the 2nd cycle.
PRP application varies according to the content of the protocol. It is necessary to be examined for detailed information
