Platelet-rich plasma (PRP therapy) with hyaluronic acid

Facial Skin Rejuvenation with Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP Therapy) and Hyaluronic Acid

PRP, or platelet-rich plasma, is a natural therapy that uses the patient's own blood. This procedure is applied to the facial and decollete skin and is a safe, minimally invasive, natural method for skin rejuvenation, smoothing fine lines, and treating skin allergies and acne scars. It stimulates the regeneration of the skin and subcutaneous tissue, enhances skin microcirculation, improves skin tone, and reduces skin irregularities. As a result, the skin becomes brighter, firmer, and more elastic.

In certain cases, when skin concerns are more advanced and comprehensive treatment is required, a PRP procedure enriched with hyaluronic acid is recommended.

The first results can be seen after the initial treatment; however, depending on the individual condition of the patient, a course of procedures may be recommended.

Procedure During the procedure, a small amount of blood is drawn from the patient's vein. The blood is then placed in a special device called a centrifuge, where white and red blood cells are separated, producing a concentrate enriched with platelets and growth factors. Normally, one milliliter of blood contains approximately 200,000 platelets, while platelet-rich plasma contains up to five times more. The resulting concentrate is injected into the targeted skin areas using a fine needle.

Depending on the desired outcome, the depth of injection is adjusted and the concentrate may be administered superficially or deeper into the skin. The injections are generally not painful; however, in certain areas, such as around the lips or eyes, discomfort may be more noticeable. If necessary, a local anesthetic may be used. The procedure usually takes between 30 and 60 minutes.

After the Procedure

• Patients can return to their daily activities immediately after the procedure;
• For several hours after the treatment, the skin at the injection sites may be sensitive or red, and small bruises may occasionally appear;

• The effects of the procedure become noticeable within 2–4 weeks and continue to improve over time.
