Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a product of tissue engineering. It is an autologous blood product containing concentrated platelets suspended in a small volume of plasma. The PRP production process consists of collecting peripheral blood from the patient and its centrifugation, which results in the separation of morphotic elements of the blood (differing in weight). Plasma is a liquid, mainly composed of: water, glucose, hormones, proteins, fats, minerals, and vitamins.

 

The treatment with the use of plasma - also known as  "vampire facelift" attributes many properties, including regenerating and rejuvenating the skin. This treatment is most often intended for mature skin that has lost its elasticity and firmness. Also the skin with visible wrinkles and pigmentation or/and acne scars.

​

In addition, treatments based on this innovative technology have found application in the treatment of alopecia on various grounds. Also, stretch marks can be treated with PRP and skin with broken capillaries or rosacea where a significant improvement in the disappearing erythema has been noticed, by rebuilding the skin with a decrease in its reactivity.

 

PRP is a biocompatible procedure because there is complete tissue compatibility. The body does not attack its own, natural ingredients, whose task is to stimulate the renewal of tissues, which is why it is an ideal treatment for people struggling with allergies of all kinds, including ingredients of products, and for people who suffer from autoimmune diseases.
