PRP Treatment – Skin Rejuvenation Using Your Own Plasma

PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) technology was developed in the 1970s in medical practice, initially to accelerate tissue healing in oral surgery and orthopedic procedures. During the 2000s, dermatologists and aesthetic physicians began using PRP for skin rejuvenation, as its high concentration of platelets and growth factors stimulates regeneration and collagen production.

What Is a PRP Treatment?

PRP treatment uses the patient’s own blood plasma, enriched with platelets and growth factors, to stimulate the skin’s natural renewal processes. The procedure includes drawing a small amount of blood, centrifuging it to isolate platelet-rich plasma, and then injecting the plasma into the targeted treatment area.

How Does PRP Work?

Platelets release growth factors that stimulate cell proliferation, collagen synthesis, and the formation of new blood vessels.The result is improved skin tone and texture, reduced fine lines, and faster regeneration after skin damage.

The Scientific Basis of PRP

PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) is effective due to its high concentration of growth factors such as PDGF (platelet-derived growth factor), TGF-β (transforming growth factor beta), and VEGF (vascular endothelial growth factor). These factors stimulate fibroblast activity, the synthesis of new collagen types I and III, and the formation of new capillaries (angiogenesis). Because of these mechanisms, PRP is not only an anti-aging treatment but is also used for acne scar treatment, hyperpigmentation, and skin recovery after other aesthetic procedures.

PRP in Aesthetic Medicine – Indications

In aesthetic medicine, PRP is used for:

  • Skin rejuvenation of the face, neck, and décolletage
  • Treatment of dark under-eye circles
  • Improving skin texture and elasticity of the hands
  • Stimulating hair growth
  • Reducing scars (acne scars, post-surgical scars)

Benefits of PRP Treatment

  • Completely natural – uses the patient’s own blood
  • Stimulates collagen and elastin production
  • Minimally invasive procedure
  • No risk of allergies or rejection
  • Can be applied to the face, neck, décolletage, and scalp

Who Is Not a Candidate for PRP?

PRP is not recommended for patients with blood clotting disorders, pregnant or breastfeeding women, individuals with an active skin infection at the treatment site, or patients with severe systemic diseases or cancer.

What Is a “Vampire Facial”?

“Vampire facial” is a popular term for PRP combined with microneedling.
The name became widely known through media and celebrity marketing. This combination allows deeper penetration of PRP and more intensive stimulation of regenerative processes in the skin.
