PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) regenerative therapy for the skin.
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) regenerative therapy for the skin involves rejuvenating aging skin using beneficial components derived from your own blood. It is a skin regeneration treatment where PRP, which is prepared from your own blood, is injected into the areas of concern on the face. This stimulates the proliferation of fibroblasts in the dermis and epithelial cells in the epidermis, replacing them with new, youthful cells and creating a rejuvenated skin appearance. The use of autologous PRP eliminates concerns of infection or allergies, and the result is a very natural-looking outcome.
Treatment process
We will collect 20ml of blood, which is necessary for the treatment.
The blood sample is centrifuged to extract platelet-rich plasma (PRP). At the same time, the injection site is numbed with a cream anesthesia.
It is injected into the desired areas of the face.
Characteristics of PRP skin regeneration therapy
The blood contains special components called growth factors, which are present in platelets. These growth factors have the ability to regenerate and reactivate aging cells (the cause of wrinkles and sagging), leading to the improvement of wrinkles and sagging in the skin. This treatment aims to rejuvenate the skin.

It is effective for skin aging on the face, neck, and other areas. It provides the most natural outcome. |
| Treatment duration | Approximately 60 minutes |

Frequently Asked Questions
When will the effects start to show?
Usually, it takes from 2 weeks to 2 months for gradual improvement to occur.
Why does it take time?
It takes time because the treatment aims to rejuvenate your own cells and make them healthier. It takes time for the cells to be activated. However, the unique feature of this treatment is that it provides a more natural result compared to hyaluronic acid and other methods.
How long does the effect last?
Since it is a relatively new treatment, it is difficult to say for certain, but it has been reported to last for more than a year.
If you wish to have a second treatment, how long should you wait between treatments?
If you wish to have a second treatment, it is typically recommended to wait for a period of around 4 to 6 weeks between treatments. This allows sufficient time for the initial treatment to take effect and for any potential side effects to resolve before considering additional sessions. However, the exact timing may vary depending on individual circumstances and the specific treatment being performed, so it is best to consult with your healthcare provider for personalized advice.
Is there no difference in effectiveness based on age?
Generally, if platelet function is normal, we believe that there is not a significant difference in effectiveness based on age.
Have there been any issues so far?
There have been no reported cases of allergies or other issues so far.
