Overview
The procedure
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) – Autologous Regenerative Treatment
Natural skin regeneration with autologous growth factors
PRP is a biocompatible skin regeneration treatment that uses platelet-rich plasma derived from the patient’s own blood. By activating the skin’s natural healing and regeneration mechanisms, it helps improve skin quality, radiance, and firmness.
What is PRP
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) is obtained through the specialised processing of a small amount of blood and is considered an autologous treatment, as it uses material exclusively from the patient’s own body.
How the Treatment Works
Platelets release growth factors that stimulate collagen production and improve microcirculation in the treated area, supporting the natural regeneration of tissues.
The procedure includes:
| Drawing a small amount of blood |
| Centrifugation to isolate the platelet-rich plasma |
| Preparation of the PRP for application |
| Application through targeted injections or combined with microneedling (Dermapen 4), depending on the indication |
