PRP is an effective and injectable cosmetic procedure that improves the overall appearance of the skin. This method utilizes the patient's own platelets and plasma, making it completely natural and free from the risk of infection or allergic reaction. Due to the use of the patient's own blood, this procedure is commonly known as "vampire facial" and has gained attention. This innovative technique of skin rejuvenation, combining PRP therapy with microneedling, increases collagen production, lifts the skin, improves moisture, reduces fine lines and wrinkles, and enhances skin tone and texture.
