Platelet Rich Plasma – radiant skin and thick hair from the body’s own strength

Platelet Rich Plasma promises more radiant skin and fuller hair using your own body’s own energy. In medical terms, autologous blood treatment is also known as PRP therapy. PRP is the technical abbreviation for platelet-rich plasma. And the entire Platelet Rich Plasma is centred around this plasma.

For one treatment, between 15 and 50 ml of blood is taken from the client. The plasma and platelets are then physically activated by centrifugation, concentrated and separated from the remaining blood components. Finally, the autologous blood is injected into the affected skin area. The PRP contains numerous growth factors and cell messengers. These stimulate various cell types present in the skin to stimulate the formation of new collagen and elastin. The blood circulation of the skin and the skin structure are also positively influenced. PRP can thus have a direct and indirect tissue regenerative effect and improve the hydration, structure, elasticity and luminescence of the skin. Hair growth in the scalp area can also be specifically promoted.

The components of PRP sometimes show their effect immediately or even days or weeks after the treatment. Platelet Rich Plasma can be carried out on an outpatient basis. It does not require any time out of the daily routine and only takes a few minutes to administer.

The areas of application are

• Supporting hair growth, hair thickness and hair density as a preventative or therapeutic measure or as a supplement to other therapies
• Improved blood circulation in the skin
• Reduction of dark circles under the eyes
• Regeneration of the skin, e.g. new formation of collagen and elastin
• Complementary to autologous fat treatments, hyaluronic acid, Botox, peelings or laser treatments

Platelet Rich Plasma gives the skin a younger, fresher and firmer appearance. Dull-looking skin regains a beautiful radiance. Hair grows thicker and fuller again, and it is also possible to support hair growth. At the ETHIANUM Heidelberg, Priv.-Doz.
