Platelet-Rich Plasma – PRP

At Clínica Luso Espanhola, we offer PRP (anti-aging treatment for the face, neck, décolleté and the back of the hands). PRP has revolutionized treatments in the field of Aesthetic Medicine, particularly in Facial Revitalization, as it stimulates the production of collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid, restoring elasticity, radiance and firmness to the skin in a safe way.

How it works

PRP is one of the most advanced treatments with proven effectiveness as a skin rejuvenation method:

• This facial rejuvenation treatment is performed by extracting the patient’s own blood, which is then centrifuged. After centrifugation, the plasma fraction richest in growth factors is used;
• Platelets release growth factors responsible for stimulating cellular regeneration, increasing the formation of new blood vessels and producing new tissue;
• The thickness of the skin increases, restoring elasticity and firmness.

Main indications for PRP

• Facial rejuvenation and increased skin firmness;
• Treatment of wrinkles;
• Skin laxity of the face, neck and other areas of the body.

This treatment can be both preventive for young skin and regenerative for aging skin.

Treatment duration

The treatment plan usually consists of sessions with intervals of 2 to 4 months. The application of “vitamins” through mesotherapy during this interval is also recommended.
