Platelet rich plasma (PRP)

PRP is a rich source of autologous platelets, which are anuclear cells containing alpha granules responsible for the synthesis and storage of growth factors that accelerate tissue growth. This is a real revolution in medicine, using natural factors that allow tissue rejuvenation.

Preparation of the therapy

First of all, 25 ml of blood are taken from the patient while respecting aseptic technique. This sample is centrifuged for 3 minutes. This makes it possible to separate its various components and increase the platelet concentration. The alpha granules speed up free growth factors. Then, the PRP obtained is injected under local anesthesia. Any anti-inflammatory or anti-coagulant treatment should be stopped three days before application.

• Osteoarthritis: PRP can treat cartilage degeneration during osteoarthritis.

Cosmetic surgery

The PRP in Istanbul, Turkey, allows a facelift without surgery. It stimulates the production of collagen and elastin by stem cells of the skin to correct skin deformities and fight the signs of aging. One to 3 sessions spaced from 3 to 4 weeks apart are usually necessary.

The platelet-rich plasma allows treating:

• The skin of the face, the upper part of the chest, and the wrinkled hands
• Dark circles: where it has a filling effect of the valley of tears, thus allowing to discolor these dark rings.
• Stretch marks that regress under the effect of PRP
• The scalp is where it stimulates the regrowth of softer and smoother hair.
• Scars: acne, diabetic foot ulcers.

Reproductive medicine 

During ovarian rejuvenation, the doctor directly injects a woman's platelet-rich plasma into her ovaries. The patient's ovaries are also reinforced with proteins rich in growth factors and stem cells.

Sexuality field

The injection of PRP into the inner lining of the vagina and clitoris increases local production of collagen and elastin, helping to improve the hydration of the vagina while stimulating the excitement of sexual contact. Similarly, stimulating the growth of blood vessels and nerve cells in humans allows for an improvement in erection.

Dental surgery

The use of PRP by doctors occupies a very interesting place in stomatology. It can be applied for subsinusal fillings to aim pre-implant and accelerate the healing of gingival and bone tissues. However, clinical validations of these applications are still few.

Hair loss treatment

The PRP technique is also practiced in Turkey to improve the quality of the hair transplant. The main advantage of this injection is that the platelet-rich plasma increases the vitality of the hair follicles.

Treatment of facial wrinkles with PRP and hyaluronic acid injections

Hyaluronic acid injections consist of a fluid already present in the skin that fills wrinkles and cavities in the skin. These injections are indicated to attenuate deeper wrinkles, such as folds around the mouth area, plump the lips, or restore volume to the cheekbones. The effect of hyaluronic acid usually lasts 6–12 months; repeated treatments are needed to refill the area.

Platelet rich plasma injection stimulates your own collagen for total facial rejuvenation, rather than improving wrinkles individually. The PRP is used:

• For faces that start to lose their volume to plump
• To attenuate the hollows under the eyes and dark circles
• To improve the tonicity and texture of the skin
• To fill in areas where hyaluronic acid injections cannot be used

Hyaluronic acid and PRP injections can be used at the same time. They complement each other to give the best result for a younger face.
