What Is PRP Treatment?
PRP (platelet-rich plasma) is a method based on the application of plasma obtained from the person's own blood and enriched in platelets. With its growth factors, it may be used to support renewal processes in the skin and scalp.
Being obtained from one's own blood may be a reason for preference for many people. PRP is planned on a personalised basis, as a method to support skin vitality or as an aid in hair applications.
Areas of Application and Session Plan
PRP can be evaluated in different areas, primarily skin rejuvenation and scalp applications. In which area, how many sessions, and at what frequency it will be applied are determined according to the person's condition and goal.
The result usually appears gradually over a plan of sessions at certain intervals rather than in a single session. It is therefore more accurate to evaluate over the whole plan.
The Procedure and Recovery
The procedure is performed after the blood is drawn and the plasma is prepared. After application, short-term redness or sensitivity may be seen in the area; these are generally temporary.
Following the simple care rules recommended by the physician helps the process proceed comfortably. Unexpected or severe symptoms should be reported to the physician.
Expectation Management and Care
Realistic expectation is important in PRP: the aim is to support natural renewal processes. The result varies from person to person and usually becomes apparent over time.
The care routine, sun protection, and general health affect the quality of the result. Regular follow-up offers an opportunity to evaluate the effect of the application and update the plan.
Safety and Limits
General health status, blood values, medications used, and certain systemic diseases may affect the suitability of PRP. A detailed evaluation before the application is therefore required.
A safe result is possible with a personalised and transparent plan. Dr. Murat Toktamışoğlu proceeds by informing the patient and agreeing on realistic goals.
