A person’s appearance is very important in maintaining interpersonal relationships in society. Many people are psychologically affected especially by skin and hair related problems.
That is why their personality is broken. Also, there are various treatments for skin and hair problems. There are many alternative treatments available today such as external ointments, internal medicinal treatments, ultraviolet (UV) treatments, laser treatments, chemical peeling and platelet rich plasma (PRP) treatments.
What is PRP (PRP Platelet rich plasma)?
PRP is a very safe treatment. There are different components in our blood. In this treatment method, other components of the blood are removed and a concentration of blood platelets is obtained.
These growth factors are used for the treatment we need. Growth factors obtained from blood platelet concentrate can be used for the necessary problem (head problems or skin collagen problems).
In this treatment method, the blood obtained from the patient is given to the patient by injection or by a machine, so there is no allergy. In many cases, when foreign blood is given, it is likely to be rejected by the blood.
Generally, there are no serious risks other than minor side effects such as slight pain and redness at the injection site. The pain is minimal due to application of medicine to tingle the relevant area.
Who Should Get PRP Treatment?
Today, men as well as women have problems with thinning hair. Thinning hair can lead to baldness. The reduction in diameter and length of a hair shaft over time is called hair thinning.
The growth factors in the platelets that contain such inconveniences stimulate the root of the hair. Because of that, hair growth occurs. Due to various spots on the skin, there is some effect on the appearance and personality of a person. A scar is a condition like a groove in the skin.
PRP treatment reduces the depth of the scars by increasing the collagen and makes them look ugly. Therefore, it can be used for acne scars, other skin scars, surgical scars, burns and skin rejuvenation. Due to age and certain wrong habits in our lifestyle, the level of collagen fibers in the skin decreases.
When collagen is reduced in this way, skin wrinkles and sagging can occur due to the loss of fibers. PRP can be given to stimulate collagen fibers to reduce the skin’s aging appearance.
Also, these treatments are used for head diseases such as wrinkles and black spots around the eyes.
Preparation of a patient referred for PRP treatment…
The patient does not need any special preparation or caution before or after receiving PRP treatment. There is no age difference or any other disease condition of the person in getting this treatment.

Along with receiving PRP treatment, it is necessary to maintain cosmetics, medicinal treatments given inside the body, healthy food and a proper lifestyle.
