PRP Therapy PRP autologous blood therapy offers fascinating, natural and particularly effective options for skin rejuvenation, but also for hair loss! How does PRP therapy work? PRP is the abbreviation for platelet-rich plasma. Simply put, this is the component of your own blood that consists of plasma and platelets. The high concentration of growth factors in PRP triggers highly effective regeneration processes in the tissue, which renew the skin from within and lead to a rosy and fresh complexion. Shallow wrinkles disappear, deep ones become flatter. The skin becomes finer-pored and thicker. This makes dark circles under the eyes lighter and the blood vessels less visible. After a detailed consultation, a small amount of blood is taken, spun in a special centrifuge and the plasma and platelets are isolated. After a few minutes the plasma is ready for injection and is painlessly injected superficially into the skin using the finest needles. The subsequent redness subsides after about 24 to 48 hours. Causes and consequences of skin aging: Our skin loses firmness and elasticity with age. The skin and subcutaneous fat become thinner, and the skin's water and fat content continually decreases. The consequences are wrinkles and general skin aging. This is caused by a slowing of cell renewal and thus an imbalance between the death of skin cells and the production of new cells and collagen. Three to six sessions, spaced six weeks apart, are necessary for skin rejuvenation. PRP autologous blood therapy is also ideal for treating scars, stretch marks, pigmentation disorders, arthritis, wound healing, and, above all, hair loss. PRP is one of the most successful and gentlest anti-aging treatments for the skin! Studies have also shown that platelet-rich plasma can accelerate wound healing by up to 50%. What kind of results can I expect? Long-term success depends, among other things, on the patient's age, lifestyle, sun exposure, alcohol consumption and smoking, stress, diet, and sleep habits. Initial results can be seen after the first treatment, with increased skin moisture. The visible effect is achieved by activating collagen and elastin production in the skin after approximately 2-3 weeks. After the third PRP autologous blood treatment, the results are clearly visible and lasting. The skin continues to rejuvenate itself over the next 6-12 months after a treatment series. A top-up every 1.5 years is recommended. A supporting skin care series based on hyaluronic acid and free of "harmful chemicals" is highly recommended. PRP treatment for hair loss: PRP autologous blood is injected into the scalp. The micro-injuries, in combination with the growth factors in the autologous blood, stimulate the repair mechanisms and stem cells of the hair root. The first visible results can be seen after the first application over the following weeks, with lasting hair growth after three applications spaced 6 weeks apart. It is important that some residual hair is still present to reactivate the atrophied but still present hair roots. The treatment is effective for both hereditary hair loss and hair loss caused by stress, nutrient deficiencies, and even alopecia areata, an autoimmune disease. In the case of hair loss, a holistic approach is important, as hair loss can also be reduced through phytotherapy and nutritional supplements. Food intolerances can also play a role. Areas of application of the PRP method Skin rejuvenation (fine wrinkles, sagging and thinning skin, tired, pale and loose skin) on the forehead, temples, eyes, mouth, chin, neck, décolleté, back of the hand Wrinkles are not smoothed out by “filling” but by “rejuvenating and biostimulating” the body’s own cells (fine wrinkles disappear, deep ones become flatter) Lightening of dark circles under the eyes by increasing the thickness of the skin Improvement of skin elasticity through increased production of collagen fibers Optimization of skin color through the formation of new blood vessels Increased radiance of the complexion, visibly refined skin appearance Through the healing process of the micro-injuries caused by the Dermapen needles, old, dysfunctional skin cells are replaced by new, healthy cells. Scars (stretch marks, acne scars, surgical or injury scars) Pigment disorders (vitiligo, pigment spots, light damage) Stimulation of hair growth The most common facial areas for anti-aging therapy with PRP are: Forehead wrinkles Frown lines Crow's feet around the eyes Wrinkles under the eyes Sunken eye area Sunken cheeks, wrinkles in the cheek area Cheekbone area (building up high cheeks) Nasolabial folds (between nostrils and mouth) Lips (contour) Drooping corners of the mouth Wrinkles around the mouth Chin wrinkles Neck and décolleté Scalp in case of hair loss for revitalization and strengthening How many treatments are necessary?
