Prp application has been used for many years in many branches of medicine, especially in the areas of aesthetic surgery, orthopedics, sports medicine, acne scars, hair loss in major wound treatments.

PRP is taken from the person’s own blood and then centrifuged 10cc. .The plasma part that separates from the red blood ensures that the hair follicles stay longer and alive in the plasma liquid until the hair follicles are transplanted due to the long waiting time of the hair follicles. In 450,000 joint treatments, there are around 800,000 leukocytes and white blood cells. Activated platelets and leukocytes secrete growth factor. In the PRP method, the growth factor triggers the strength and proliferation of the stem cell.
