What is PRP Treatment?
PRP means “Platelet Rich Plasma” or platelet-rich plasma. This special liquid obtained from the person’s own blood contains a high amount of growth factors. These growth factors support the skin’s self-renewal and repair. PRP has been frequently preferred in recent years because it has also yielded successful results in spot treatments.
What is the Aim of PRP Spot Treatment?
Spots on the skin that occur due to sun exposure, aging, or acne can become permanent as a result of damage to the skin barrier. The aim of PRP treatment is to provide an intense healing effect to these damaged areas, equalize the skin tone, and reduce the appearance of spots. At the same time, the skin gains a more vibrant, brighter, and younger appearance.
How is PRP Spot Treatment Applied?
The treatment begins with a small tube taken from the person’s own blood. The blood taken is centrifuged with special devices; thanks to this process, the platelet-rich plasma in the blood is separated. This liquid obtained is applied to the stained areas of the skin by micro-needling or injection. The application usually takes 30–45 minutes.
What to Consider After the Application?
There may be a slight redness, warming sensation or sensitivity on the skin after PRP. These effects are temporary in a short time. After the treatment, it is important to protect the skin from the sun, moisturize it and use the care products recommended by the doctor regularly. Sunscreen cream is one of the most critical parts of the post-PRP process.
How Many Sessions Are Required?
In PRP spot treatment, 3-6 sessions are generally recommended. Although session intervals are planned according to the person, it is mostly applied once a month. While a significant lightening can be noticed even after the first 2 sessions on some skins, longer follow-up may be required for resistant spots.
Who is PRP Treatment Suitable For?
PRP is a very safe and natural option for people who have spot complaints, experience dullness and tone differences in their skin, and want to stay away from chemical-based procedures. Because no external substance is given to the body in the procedure; the person's own blood is used entirely.
A Natural and Effective Method
PRP spot treatment stands out with its naturalness and its restorative effect on the skin. When applied regularly, not only spots but also skin quality improves in general. This method, which provides effective results when applied at the right time and in the right way, is among the modern approaches that support skin health.
