Medical treatment with PRP (platelet rich plasma) / autologous blood plasma treatment for improving acne skin, acne scars and hair loss.
Remodeling of the skin
With increasing age, the body produces less and less collagen and growth factors, so that the cells' natural ability to regenerate decreases. Treatment with PRP is a relatively new and effective method of effectively renewing and reshaping skin and hair. A procedure that takes advantage of the body own regeneration ability.
PRP Treatment
A small amount of blood is drawn from the patient using special PRP Tubes. The blood plasma obtained by subsequent centrifugation has a very high content of platelets, which in turn are rich in growth factors. This plasma is then injected subcutaneously by the doctor. Tissue through micro-fine needles, which initiates a natural regeneration process: stimulation of cell growth of connective tissue cells, promotion of collagen production, formation of new vessels. The skin appears firmer, younger and scars are smoothed and filled.
From the inside, as the skin and subcutaneous tissue regenerate and renew. It also stimulates the blood circulation in the skin. In this way, an overall rejuvenating effect is achieved. The treatment is particularly useful for improving overall skin rejuvenation and improving wrinkles (for example, around the eyes or on the cheeks). Annoying dark circles ("boxer's eye") can also be treated very effectively. and.In the meantime, PRP therapy has achieved a special status in the medical field of hair loss therapy: Due to the excellent effect of the body's own growth factors, an enormous improvement in hair growth has been achieved in a large number of studies, so that this treatment alternative has already been included in the official guidelines for hair loss therapy ( the so-called S3-Guide).
Due to the very effective stimulation of natural regeneration processes, the treatment also offers an alternative in modern acne scar therapy. Microneedling, called CIT (Collagen Induction Therapy) for short, which enhances the smoothing effect.
A particular advantage of the therapy is that no foreign substances are used for therapeutic purposes, only components of the patient's own blood, especially patients who are skeptical about anti-wrinkle treatment with foreign substances, are increasingly opting for this natural form of skin regeneration.
If you use your own blood concentrate, there is no risk of allergic reactions from foreign substances! Treatment, including taking blood, priming, and re-administration, takes approximately 60 minutes and is painless, but if desired, the area to be treated can be primed with anesthetic cream. The initial swelling goes away very quickly with cooling or special face masks. The patient will see the first results after a few days. The cell regeneration process is completely completed after approx. 23 months. First of all, therapy is carried out.
As a cure four times at an interval of about three weeks, this is sufficient to stimulate the body's own regeneration process. The successful treatment result lasts until the 1st5 years An update treatment with PRP every six months stabilizes and strengthens the success.

They make it possible to rejuvenate the skin, smooth wrinkles with the PRP treatment. Improve skin tone, color and firmness. Hence the rejuvenation of the skin. In the following weeks, plasma growth factors develop their biological effect to strengthen the skin and subcutaneous tissue.
