PRP: what is it?
PRP, or Platelet-Rich Plasma, is an innovative technique capable of stimulating the production of new cells in the region where it is applied. Therefore, it has applications in various fields of medicine.
Allure Clinic offers PRP treatments to give you renewed, hydrated skin with greater luminosity and elasticity.
PRP is considered a safe treatment because it uses the patient's own plasma, minimizing the risk of adverse reactions or allergies.
Benefits
Thus, PRP treatment allows:
- Smooth wrinkles and expression lines;
- Improve skin texture and elasticity;
- Reduce acne marks, blemishes, scars and stretch marks;
- Stop and prevent severe hair loss and alopecia;
- Stimulate collagen production.
Where can it be applied?
PRP, or Platelet Rich Plasma, can be applied in several areas:
- scalp;
- face;
- neck;
- neckline;
- hands.
Platelet-Rich Plasma is characterized by a high concentration of growth factors, which can be up to five times higher than that found in unmanipulated blood plasma. These factors are crucial for the production of new cells and the synthesis of important proteins, such as collagen and elastin, which are essential for maintaining skin elasticity and firmness.
Therefore, PRP is increasingly used in Aesthetic Medicine procedures, due to its ability to stimulate cell regeneration and improve tissue quality.
