PRP
PRP, or Platelet Rich Plasma, is a treatment that uses the body's own platelets to stimulate the natural repair and regeneration of tissue. The process involves drawing a small amount of blood, which is then processed in a centrifuge to separate the plasma rich in platelets. This concentrated plasma is then injected into the area requiring treatment.

PRP treatment is known for having a wide range of applications in both medical and cosmetic fields:
Hair Loss
PRP is a popular treatment for hair loss. It stimulates hair follicles and promotes new hair growth, especially in conditions like androgenetic alopecia.
Scars and Stretch Marks
PRP can help reduce the visibility of scars and stretch marks by encouraging the skin to renew itself.

FAQ
What is important before treatment?
- Consultation: We strongly recommend scheduling a consultation before the treatment. This allows us to analyze your skin quality and identify the most suitable areas for treatment.
- Hydration: To optimize your blood plasma, make sure to drink plenty of water in the days leading up to the treatment.
- Medications: Avoid taking painkillers such as Aspirin, Ibuprofen, etc., both two days before and two days after the treatment. These medications can affect the platelets and their function.
- Anticoagulants: It is also important to avoid anticoagulant medications the day before the treatment.
How long does it take to see results?
The results of PRP treatment for hair growth can vary significantly from person to person, and the time it takes for the effects to become visible is also individual. Some may notice early signs of improvement, such as reduced hair loss, within the first few months. However, for many, it may take between 3 and 6 months to see more noticeable changes, such as increased hair thickness and improved hair quality.
The most prominent and long-lasting results may, in some cases, take over 6 months to appear. It’s important to note that maintenance treatments are often recommended to sustain the results, as hair growth is a continuous and dynamic process. Your provider will tailor a treatment plan based on your individual needs and goals.
What side effects can occur?
PRP treatment is generally considered a safe procedure, and side effects are rare. However, as with any medical treatment, there is a risk of side effects. Some of the most common side effects after a facial PRP treatment include:
- Bruising: Some patients may experience bruising as a side effect. Although this is not a common reaction, it can occur due to individual factors and skin sensitivity.
- Swollen Areas: Temporary swelling in the treatment area may occur after the procedure.
- Redness: Some patients may experience temporary redness in the treatment area.
- Pain and Discomfort: Mild to moderate pain or discomfort in the treated area may occur after the treatment.

It’s important to note that these side effects are typically temporary and resolve on their own within a short period. If you experience severe side effects or have concerns, please contact us as soon as possible.
