PRP in aesthetics: Natural regeneration for skin and hair.
PRP therapy (platelet-rich plasma) is a modern, natural method in aesthetic medicine that uses the body’s own healing and regeneration processes. PRP, also known as “vampire lifting”, is extracted from the patient’s own blood and is rich in growth factors that stimulate cell renewal and collagen production.
What is PRP?
PRP stands for “Platelet-Rich Plasma”. It is a concentrated form of blood plasma that is rich in platelets and growth factors. These growth factors promote tissue regeneration, improve skin structure and strengthen hair follicles.

Results of PRP therapy
Results of PRP therapy
The skin looks brighter, smoother and fresher after treatment. In the case of hair loss, PRP therapy can promote hair growth and slow down hair loss. Initial results are often visible after 4-6 weeks, but the best results are seen after several sessions (usually 3-4 treatments at intervals of 4-6 weeks).
