Platelets are subcellular components that occur naturally in our bloodstream. During their short life cycle of 5–6 days, they contribute to blood clotting and support healing at injury sites. They contain so-called “granules,” which are collections of small protein messengers—known as “platelet growth factors.” Studies have shown that these messengers can activate repair processes in certain tissues. By taking a small amount of your blood and processing it to obtain platelets, a high concentration of these valuable components can be generated, which can then be introduced into the required areas.

There are various areas of the body that can be treated with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy. PRP is gaining increasing importance in medical fields such as aesthetic medicine, trichology, orthopedics, sports medicine, urology, gynecology, and stomatology.

The platelets contain numerous growth factors that contribute to cell regeneration and give PRP its regenerative potential. Depending on the area of application, PRP is applied into or under the skin or into deeper tissue using various methods.
