As the years pass, the skin loses its elasticity, shine and tone. It contains less and less collagen, which makes it taut and wrinkles appear. One of the procedures that provides exceptional results in rejuvenation is treatment with the patient’s own plasma – PRP therapy or blood plasma rejuvenation. This method is one of those that naturally influence the creation of new collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid in the skin.
What is PRP treatment?
Platelet-rich plasma therapy is a form of regenerative medicine that uses the body’s ability to heal itself, or the natural growth factors your body uses to heal tissue.
PRP treatment uses growth factors obtained from the patient’s blood plasma, stimulating the healing and regeneration processes of the skin. This antiaging procedure is popular because, with the help of natural processes in the body, it achieves visible results in skin rejuvenation, texture improvement and reduction of signs of aging.
During the treatment, concentrated plasma is applied to the skin, which leads to increased production of collagen and elastin. This treatment is suitable for people who strive for a natural look and want to achieve long-lasting results without invasive procedures.
This therapy has various uses, from the treatment of sports injuries, through antiaging, to the treatment of hair loss.
Free examination by a doctor specializing in dermatology or aesthetic surgery it should be scheduled to determine whether the PRP treatment is optimal for achieving the desired result based on the patient’s skin type and age.

PRP hair
It is used for hair growth when thinning occurs, but also when you want to have lusher, better quality and stronger hair that grows faster.
Laser and PRP to remove acne scars
This treatment has a cumulative effect of two methods. With laser peeling, the skin is evened out, the creation of new collagen is encouraged, and it also has an anti-inflammatory and regenerative effect, thus improving the quality of the skin.
The PRP method additionally contributes to the production of collagen, so after the treatment the structure of the skin is repaired, and depressions are filled, that is, new, young tissue is created.
Why is PRP therapy an ideal rejuvenation procedure for men too?
Men are looking for a rejuvenation procedure that will lead to subtle changes, refreshing the skin and removing fine lines, and a fresher and more rested appearance.

What is PRP - Platelet Rich Plasma?
Platelet Rich Plasma consists mainly of water and proteins that ensure the circulation of red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets throughout the body. It is rich in platelets (blood platelets).
Platelet activation plays a key role in the body’s natural healing process.
PRP is obtained by centrifuging the patient’s blood, and the serum that is injected into the skin is full of growth factors that are up to 4 times more than what is normally found in the blood.
After PRP therapy, the patient’s concentrated growth factors accelerate tissue regeneration.
PRP treatment enables the creation of new collagen fibers with the help of growth factors that strongly stimulate fibroblasts (stem cells of fibrous connective tissues).
For more than a decade, this rejuvenation procedure has been extremely popular due to the effects it provides.
This treatment helps the tissue to regenerate and is therefore used both for rejuvenation and for the treatment of osteoarthritis and injured tendons and cartilage.
This therapy represents one of the modern achievements in medicine, and its advantage is that it uses the body’s natural ability to heal.
For example, when we cut ourselves, the body’s defense reaction is to attract platelets to the site to speed up the wound healing process.
That is why it is a completely natural way to rejuvenate the skin.
Blood plasma rich in growth factors for faster tissue healing processes has been successfully used in orthopedics and cardiology for more than thirty years.
PRP treatment has also started to be used in aesthetic dermatology due to the numerous beneficial factors that the processed serum contains.
What is the purpose of blood plasma treatment?
Since 2005, it has been used for rejuvenation , and more than 30 years in medicine, especially in orthopedics and cardiology.
It is used when it is necessary to stimulate tissue regeneration and faster recovery:
- in aesthetic medicine,
- with degenerative changes in the joints,
- in the treatment of chronic wounds and
- in injuries of the musculoskeletal system.

Why is PRP treatment one of the most requested procedures at Diva Polyclinic?
“They activate growth factors, and growth factors further stimulate:
- collagen,
- elastin and
- hyaluronic acid
which are lost with age.
Are you most interested in how the procedure takes place, is it painful, what does recovery look like and when are the first results visible?
When you come for the examination, anesthesia is applied to the skin in the form of a cream, so the procedure is quite painless. At the Diva Polyclinic, we also use special needles – we can boast that we are one of the few that use nano-needles.
After the treatment, there is a slight redness that disappears after a few hours. And the very next day you are ready for everyday life.
It is recommended that the treatment be done 3 to 5 times a year, and the procedure itself does not cause any allergic or immune reactions, because it is your plasma that is used.
The first effects are expected 7 to 10 days after the treatment, and the more time passes, the better the results, because it is a natural stimulation of collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid.
The advantages of PRP therapy are that the skin after the procedure:
- brighter and brighter,
- the complexion is evened out,
- spots on the skin are reduced,
- skin tone is better,
- skin texture is better,
- the skin is more hydrated,
- prevents the formation of wrinkles and
- alleviates existing wrinkles.
PRP treatment, in addition to antiaging, has also found its application in the prevention of hair loss, and it can also be used if the goal is lusher and better quality hair that grows faster.
