About the Treatment Method
Healing Coming with Your Own Blood
In orthopedics, it is injected into the joint for rapid fusing (healing) of knee calcifications (osteoarthritis) and meniscus and shoulder tendon tears. In dermatology, it is applied to the skin for facial rejuvenation (vampire facelift), clearing skin blemishes, and scars. It is also frequently applied to the scalp to stop hair loss by reviving sleeping roots.
No, this is a concept very often confused in the medical field. PRP consists of "Platelet" cells that stop bleeding in the blood and give a healing signal; it does not contain stem cells. PRP is a catalyst that sends a "repair here" signal to the wound. True stem cells, on the other hand, are obtained from belly fat or bone marrow under operating room conditions.
Although it varies depending on the purpose it is used for (knee or face), it is generally planned as a course of 3 to 4 sessions in total, at 2 or 3-week intervals, in accordance with the regeneration cycle of the cells. Its effects do not appear instantly but start to appear after 3-4 weeks in parallel with the body's biological repair process.
