Who can have a PRP procedure?
Those with skins that have worn out due to many factors such as the sunlight, smoking, pregnancy, stressful life and irregular eating habit.
PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) means platelet rich blood fluid. It is one of the methods of natural rejuvenation. When a part of our body is injured, platelets go to the injured tissue and initiate the clotting process. Platelets that contact the injured tissue are dissolved and the growth factors in their contents are released into the injured tissue. These growth factors ensure the acceleration and strongly continuation of the wound healing process. At the end of this process, the relevant area is rejuvenated and recovered.
