Treatment Overview
PRP Therapy (Platelet-Rich Plasma) is a regenerative skin treatment that uses a patient’s own blood, processed to concentrate growth factors and platelets, which are then injected back into the skin. These natural components trigger cell regeneration, collagen production, and dermal repair.
For thin or thinning skin, PRP strengthens the dermis, improves elasticity, and reduces wrinkles by encouraging the body’s natural healing mechanisms. In Korea, PRP is often combined with microneedling, lasers, Rejuran, or Exosome Therapy for enhanced absorption and long-lasting rejuvenation.
Purpose & Benefits
- Collagen & Elastin Stimulation: Restores thickness and firmness to fragile skin.
- Natural Regeneration: Uses the body’s own growth factors for healing.
- Wrinkle Reduction: Softens fine lines caused by thinning and aging.
- Skin Strengthening: Improves elasticity and resilience of weakened skin.
- Texture Refinement: Smooths roughness and restores a youthful glow.
- Safe & Biocompatible: No synthetic materials—low risk of allergic reaction.
- Synergy: Works well with microneedling, CO₂ Laser, or Rejuran.
