PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) activates the body's self-repair mechanism by injecting platelets obtained from one's own blood into the problematic area. Mesotherapy is a treatment that serves various purposes such as skin rejuvenation and hair loss prevention by injecting vitamins, minerals and other nutrients directly under the skin.
What is PRP and How is it Applied?
PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) is a treatment performed by injecting platelet-rich plasma obtained from one's own blood into certain areas. Platelets contain growth factors that accelerate the body's healing process. In PRP treatment, blood taken from the patient is centrifuged to separate platelets and concentrated plasma is obtained. This plasma is applied in areas such as skin rejuvenation, hair loss treatment or joint problems. PRP offers a natural solution especially in the treatment of problems such as signs of aging, fine lines on the skin and hair loss.
How is Hair PRP Treatment Performed?
Hair PRP treatment is a method applied to stop hair loss and regrow hair strength. In the first stage, a small amount of blood is taken from the patient. The blood is spun in a special centrifuge device to separate platelets and plasma. This dense platelet content is injected into the area where the hair follicles are located with fine needles. The growth factors contained in PRP stimulate the hair follicles and support the hair to grow thicker, stronger and healthier. The procedure is usually performed under local anesthesia, so the patient feels minimal discomfort. Hair PRP treatment is applied for several sessions at intervals of 3-4 weeks and natural and permanent results are usually achieved.
What is Mesotherapy?
Mesotherapy is an effective treatment method used for aesthetic purposes such as skin renewal, hair loss prevention and regional slimming. The procedure involves injecting nutrients such as vitamins, minerals, amino acids and enzymes under the skin with fine needles. Mesotherapy acts directly on the deep layers of the skin and stimulates cell regeneration, resulting in a more vibrant and healthy appearance.
Mesotherapy is widely preferred especially in the treatment of problems such as signs of aging, loss of skin elasticity, cellulite, regional oiliness and hair loss. The treatment is planned individually and is usually applied in several sessions. The number of sessions is determined according to the skin structure of the person and the needs of the treated area.
What Does Facial Mesotherapy Provide?
Facial mesotherapy plays an important role in maintaining the skin's moisture balance. Thanks to its hyaluronic acid content, it increases the water retention capacity under the skin, preventing the skin from drying out and providing a brighter skin appearance. It also boosts blood circulation, allowing more oxygen and nutrients to reach the cells, which contributes to a more vibrant complexion.
This treatment helps the skin regain its elasticity, especially as it increases collagen and elastin production. The increase in collagen production reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, making the skin appear firmer and plumper. It also alleviates pigmentation problems on the skin surface, sun spots and color irregularities due to aging.
Differences Between PRP and Mesotherapy
In PRP treatment, these growth factors injected into the skin or hair follicles increase collagen production, promote cell regeneration and allow the skin or hair follicles to heal naturally. PRP therefore offers a natural and biological treatment based entirely on the body's own healing mechanism. The nourishing ingredients used in mesotherapy increase the skin's elasticity, reduce wrinkles and fine lines, and regulate the skin's moisture balance, helping to achieve a brighter and healthier appearance. Mesotherapy offers an external healing process by directly supplying the skin with the substances it needs.
While PRP initiates an internal healing process using the body's natural repair mechanism, mesotherapy provides an external regeneration by supporting the skin with external nutrients. Although these two methods work with different mechanisms, they both serve the goals of improving skin health and enhancing aesthetic appearance.
