What is PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma)?

PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) is a plasma cell obtained from the person's own blood and enriched in platelets. Platelets are cells that enable blood clotting in our body and also contain growth factors . The aim of PRP treatment is to accelerate cell renewal and tissue repair by applying these growth factors intensively to a specific area.

History and Gaining Popularity:

The first uses of PRP in the medical field date back to the 1980s. Initially used in the treatment of blood diseases, PRP has gradually been used in different fields such as orthopedics, sports medicine and aesthetics. Its popularity has increased significantly, especially since the early 2000s, with its increased use for aesthetic purposes . The fact that PRP is a natural method, has minimal side effects and provides effective results has played an important role in this popularity.

In Which Areas Is PRP Used?

PRP is used in many different areas of medicine today. Here are some of the important areas of use:

Facial Rejuvenation: PRP is used to reduce wrinkles, improve skin tone, increase elasticity and achieve a generally younger and healthier appearance.
Hair Treatment: PRP injections are made to prevent hair loss, strengthen hair and support new hair formation.
Dentistry: PRP is used in areas such as implant applications, accelerating healing after tooth extraction, treating gum diseases and jawbone repair.
Orthopedics: PRP injections are used to accelerate healing and reduce pain in cases such as joint arthritis, muscle and tendon injuries, and ligament tears.
Wound Healing: PRP is used to accelerate the healing of chronic wounds (diabetic foot wounds, pressure sores, etc.) and post-operative healing.

The Place of PRP in Facial and Dental Aesthetics

Facial Aesthetics:

PRP is used in the facial area, especially to eliminate wrinkles, correct skin color inequalities and improve skin quality . PRP injections are applied to the lower layers of the skin and stimulate collagen and elastin production . In this way, the skin looks tighter, more elastic and younger. It has also been proven by medical articles to be effective in reducing the appearance of acne scars, sun spots and other skin imperfections.

Dentistry:

In dentistry, PRP plays an important role, especially in implant applications and in the treatment of gum diseases . Applying PRP after the implant is placed helps the bone to fuse with the implant more quickly and firmly . In gum diseases, PRP treats gum recession, reduces inflammation and accelerates tissue regeneration . PRP is also used for faster healing of cavities that occur after tooth extraction.

Areas of Use in the Body:

PRP is also used in various parts of the body. PRP injections are made to improve skin quality, reduce wrinkles and eliminate signs of aging, especially in the décolleté area, hands, legs and other areas . PRP is also used effectively to reduce the appearance of cellulite and help heal cracks .

Reason for Preference of Patients and Doctors (Autogenous)

One of the most important advantages of PRP treatment is that it is autogenous . In other words, since the substance used in the treatment is obtained from the person's own blood , the risk of allergic reactions or infection is minimal . This is an important reason for preference for both patients and doctors. In addition, the fact that PRP is a natural method and activates the body's own healing mechanisms helps to achieve long-term and permanent results.

Things to Consider After Treatment

Things to consider after PRP treatment are as follows:

You may experience mild redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection site. This usually goes away within a few days.
Ice compresses can be applied to the injection area in the first 24 hours after treatment.
Heavy exercise and extremely hot environments (sauna, Turkish bath, etc.) should be avoided for the first few days.
It is important to protect the injection area from the sun. Sunscreen should be used and, if possible, the area should not be exposed to direct sunlight.
Care should be taken to regularly use the care products recommended by your doctor.

Session Number and Frequency

The number and frequency of sessions in PRP treatment varies according to the area treated and the needs of the person. Generally, 4-5 sessions are recommended for facial rejuvenation , while 6-8 sessions may be required for hair treatment . Sessions are usually performed 2-4 weeks apart . In order to increase the permanence of treatment results , repeat sessions are recommended once or twice a year by our clinic and reminder appointments are created with the patient's approval.

Risk of Complications

PRP treatment is considered a safe method . Because the substance used in the treatment is obtained from the person's own blood and the risk of allergic reactions is very low . However, as with every medical procedure, there are some minimal risks in PRP treatment. Side effects such as slight redness, swelling, bruising or pain may be seen in the injection area. These side effects usually go away on their own within a few days. The risk of infection is very low , but it can occur if sterilization rules are not followed. Therefore, it is important that PRP treatment is performed by expert and experienced doctors .

3What should I pay attention to after PRP treatment?

There may be slight redness, swelling, or bruising in the injection area after PRP treatment. This usually goes away on its own within a few days.

4Can PRP treatment be applied together with microneedling?

Yes, PRP treatment can be applied together with microneedling. This combination increases the skin rejuvenation effect. Microneedling opens micro channels in the skin, allowing PRP to penetrate into deeper layers. In this way, collagen production is stimulated more and the skin renews faster. In AuraDent Clinic, it is possible to achieve more effective results with the combination of PRP and microneedling.

5How long does it take for PRP treatment to show results?

Although the results of PRP treatment vary from person to person, the first results usually start to be seen after 2-3 weeks. The healing and regeneration process in the skin continues over time, and the most visible results usually appear after 2-3 months. Regular sessions are recommended to increase the permanence of the treatment results. Our experts at AuraDent Clinic closely monitor the treatment process to ensure that you achieve the best results.

6Is PRP treatment permanent?

Although the results of PRP treatment are not permanent, it provides long-term improvement. It increases collagen and elastin production in the skin, making the skin look younger and healthier. However, since the aging process continues, treatment results may decrease over time. Repeat sessions can be performed once or twice a year to increase the permanence of treatment results. At AuraDent Clinic, the aim is to make the results longer-lasting with regular follow-up and care recommendations after treatment.

8Can PRP treatment be combined with other aesthetic treatments?

Yes, PRP treatment can be combined with other aesthetic treatments. Especially when used together with treatments such as laser treatments, filling applications and botox, more effective results can be achieved.

At AuraDent Clinic, effective solutions are offered for hair loss problems with PRP treatment and our experts create personalized treatment plans.

At AuraDent Clinic, you will be provided with detailed information about make-up after treatment and appropriate products will be recommended.

15Can PRP treatment be applied to smokers?
