Platelet-rich plasma

Skin aging is a natural process that involves a slowdown in cell renewal and a decrease in biological activity. Although this cannot be completely halted, there are effective ways to slow down the changes in our body and appearance. One of the most popular is a procedure using platelet-rich plasma, otherwise known as a vampire lift.

Platelet-rich plasma is a preparation that is extracted from the patient's blood, and the concentration of platelets in it is higher compared to natural, physiological plasma. Such therapy has been successfully used for many years, not only in aesthetic medicine, but also in dentistry, reconstructive surgery or orthopedics. Platelet-rich plasma is used to accelerate wound healing, smooth scars, regenerate periodontal tissue and rebuild bone tissue. It also helps reduce the appearance of signs of skin aging.

What does platelet-rich plasma therapy look like?

The procedure begins with the collection of a small amount of blood from the patient, about 6 - 60 ml. It goes into special tubes, which are then placed in a device that allows it to be centrifuged. The separation of leukocytes and erythrocytes from plasma with platelets then occurs. This yields a preparation called platelet-rich plasma, which is later injected into the patient's skin. This is done linearly, along a selected fold or wrinkle, or by using the classic mesotherapy technique.

Platelet-rich plasma stimulates stem cells to multiply and also stimulates fibroblasts to produce new collagen. This allows the skin to regenerate and revitalize. Importantly, the procedure is completely safe. The product injected into the skin is natural, as it is obtained from the patient's blood, which eliminates the risk of allergic reactions. Admittedly, redness, mild swelling and soreness may appear on the skin immediately after the platelet-rich plasma is injected, but this is a characteristic reaction of the body to the injection used. These symptoms quickly subside. Also, do not be afraid that platelet-rich plasma therapy will be very painful. Before the injection, a cream is applied to the skin to minimize the sensation of discomfort.

What effects does platelet-rich plasma provide?

The treatment revitalizes and unifies the skin tone, in addition to improving its elasticity, density and tone. Wrinkles are smoothed and thus less visible, as a result of which patients can enjoy a younger and more radiant appearance. Platelet-rich plasma therapy also makes it possible to remodel collagen fibers and improve blood circulation in the skin. The treatment is very effective, with results visible as early as 2 weeks after the procedure and lasting up to several months.

Platelet-rich plasma - indications

Platelet-rich plasma therapy is recommended for people who want to get rid of such problems as:

  • Wrinkles and unsightly folds,
  • Tired, dry, flabby and lackluster skin,
  • Uneven skin tone,
  • visible scars, such as acne.

Platelet-rich plasma is also administered to patients struggling with male pattern baldness. In addition, it makes it possible to accelerate the healing and regeneration of the skin after other aesthetic medicine procedures.

Feedback from our patients

"Mrs. Doctor Very kind, factual. She explained everything thoroughly. She advised which treatment would be the most effective and at the same time for my pocket. The procedure with platelet-rich plasma, although slightly unpleasant, was performed quickly and efficiently with attention to my comfort. The doctor asked every now and then if I needed to take a break. And the results? I could already see the difference on the plus side the same day. My complexion has visibly rejuvenated, it is luminous, my skin has gained density. I highly recommend!"
