About the procedure
This page provides detailed, clear information about PRP. Before a plan is agreed, your needs, medical history and suitability are assessed individually.
Who may consider this procedure and what is its aim?
PRP involves processing the blood taken from the person to obtain a platelet-rich preparation and applying it to the selected area. The preparation system and protocol may affect the outcome.
The purpose, level of evidence and expected response are not the same in different areas of use, such as skin or scalp. The use of one's own blood does not eliminate the need for clinical suitability and sterility.
During the consultation, your intended change, daily schedule and priorities are considered together, so possible benefits, timing and aftercare needs form a plan you can understand.
Results and timing
The use of one's own blood does not guarantee results. There are differences between studies and clinical responses because platelet density, preparation method, and procedure area vary.
Hair or skin change is evaluated over time; Redness or swelling on the first day is not a measure of success. Follow-up sessions should be planned in advance according to clinical response, not as a definitive package.
Assessment and decision criteria
Before PRP, the target problem and its cause are evaluated. Hair loss type, scalp and necessary laboratory examinations; In skin procedure, active disease, scar type and expectation are discussed.
Blood count, clotting or platelet problems, blood thinners, active infection, and general health may affect the procedure. The preparation system used must be closed, sterile and traceable.
Limitations and suitability
PRP does not address every type of hair loss or every skin problem; The cause must be evaluated first.
Platelet density and preparation method may vary between clinics; There is no standard result or number of sessions.
Blood disorders, active infection, certain medications, pregnancy status, and general health may affect the evaluation.
Alternatives and combined procedure planning
Diagnosis-specific medications or surgical options for hair loss; Skin care, microneedling, laser or other resurfacing methods may be discussed. PRP does not automatically replace these options.
Applying PRP together with another procedure does not automatically show that it will provide better results than the benefit it will provide alone. The additional cost of the combination, recovery time, evidence, and which component affects the outcome should be discussed.
