PRP Lifting (Plasma Treatment)

The PRP lifting treatment (plasma treatment) is supposed to reduce fine lines, hair loss, and superficial acne scars and improve the complexion. Tissue regeneration can additionally be stimulated by collagen formation. The method is very popular because it is considered particularly compatible due to the use of autologous blood as being particularly compatible.

How does PRP lifting work

First, the doctor takes about 20 milliliters of autologous blood, of which he only uses the supernatant yellowish blood plasma. It is rich in platelets and growth factors. If desired, he enriches the blood plasma with other active ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, vitamins and antioxidants. Then he injects the liquid with many small needle pricks into the upper layers of the skin. The growth factors contained are supposed to stimulate connective tissue cells to produce more collagen and elastin. The needle sticks themselves cause micro-injuries and thus support the formation of new collagen.

Risks of PRP lifting

In order to protect the skin from pigmentation, direct sunlight must be avoided for the next two months and a high sun protection should be applied.

After the treatment

With proper medical treatment, the risks are low. Bruises can occur at any time and remain visible for up to a week or longer. The effects are limited and depend on the age and skin condition of the patients. Often, repeated treatments are necessary for a visible effect.
