Platelet-rich plasma

Skin revitalisation and hydration, a treatment that stimulates the processes of tissue and scar regeneration, and improves hair quality.

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) has been used in medicine (e.g. surgery, orthopaedics, ophthalmology) for over 30 years. It is a platelet concentrate in a small volume of plasma, taken from the patient undergoing the procedure, containing substances that stimulate the repair process – growth factors. They are important for skin revitalisation and rejuvenation. The procedure consists of several stages and it is not painful (anaesthetic cream is applied). The aim is to rejuvenate the skin or prevent the occurrence of wrinkles on the face, neck, cleavage and hand area. PRP is also used in the scalp area to improve hair density and quality, stop hair loss and stimulate hair regrowth.

Yes, there are no contraindications.

11/ Can the procedure be performed in the summer? Is there a risk of discoloration after being exposed to the sun?

As above.

After the first treatment, we do not yet see completely satisfactory effects of the treatment; it is best to undergo from 4 to 6 treatments.
