Platelet-rich plasma

What is platelet-rich plasma?

Platelet-rich plasma is a blood derivative that stimulates the production of collagen, elastin and epidermal tissue, so that with its use a smoother, brighter and better quality skin is achieved.

Why is it performed?

Platelet-rich plasma is a cosmetic treatment that aims to rejuvenate facial skin, especially between the eyebrows, crow’s feet and the area between the nose and lips.

Currently, platelet biostimulation is also used for other treatments, such as the correction of stretch marks (since using the patient’s own plasma there is no risk of rejection of the substance and a good result is guaranteed), joint degeneration, burns or loss of skin after surgery and open wounds due to ulcers.
