The growth factors contained in PRP are essential proteins that accelerate tissue healing and regeneration. They promote cell division, the formation of new blood vessels, and the production of collagen — a key element for firm, elastic skin and strong hair growth. The most important growth factors include FGF, PDGF, TGF-ß, EGF, VEGF, and IGF, all of which are involved in stem cell migration, differentiation, and proliferation. In addition, platelets stimulate fibroblasts and endothelial cells to form new extracellular matrix and support neovascularization. Blood plasma also contains a variety of nutrients such as vitamins, electrolytes, hormones, and proteins that support cell proliferation and tissue formation. Furthermore, PRP has been shown to exhibit pain-relieving, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial properties.
PRP is an effective method for skin rejuvenation, as it naturally stimulates skin renewal. Depending on the treatment technique, the freshly prepared PRP is injected, applied, or gently massaged in, triggering regeneration and cell renewal in the skin, tissue, or hair follicles. Numbing the skin before injection is not necessary, as very fine mesotherapy needles are used.
This therapy is particularly suitable for:
PRP stimulates the body’s own collagen production, visibly smoothing fine lines and wrinkles.
Whether acne or surgical scars — PRP treatment in Hamburg refines the skin’s texture and softens the appearance of scars.
By improving skin structure and cell regeneration, PRP can refine the complexion and visibly minimize pores.
PRP therapy is particularly effective for hair loss, as it revitalizes the hair follicles and supplies the roots with essential nutrients.
PRP can slow down hormonally induced hair loss and, in many cases, stimulate new hair growth.
Uniform hair loss caused by stress, nutritional deficiency, or hormonal changes can also be slowed with PRP, while strengthening the hair roots.
PRP improves hair structure and promotes strong, healthy hair growth.
Supports faster healing and enhances the survival rate of transplanted hair.
The PRP procedure is minimally invasive and takes about 45 to 60 minutes. We recommend an initial course of three sessions spaced four weeks apart, followed by maintenance treatments every three to six months as needed.
The treatment process includes:
A small amount of blood is drawn from the arm vein.
The sample is centrifuged to separate and concentrate the platelet-rich plasma.
The PRP is injected into the skin or scalp using fine mesotherapy needles.
Avoid makeup and strong sun exposure for several hours following the treatment.
In dermatology, as in every medical field, it is particularly important to always stay up to date with the latest research and the establishment of new methods. In order to consistently offer our patients the best possible treatment, we closely follow new developments and regularly expand our range of treatments accordingly. For this reason, we have added PRF treatment, a further development of PRP treatment, to our portfolio.
For our patients, PRF treatment follows the same guidelines and procedures as PRP treatment. We do not view PRF as a simple replacement for PRP, but rather as an extension of established plasma therapy with additional regenerative mechanisms.
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) | PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) | |
|---|---|---|
Basic principle | Autologous blood therapy with concentrated platelets and growth factors | Further development of autologous blood therapy with an additional fibrin-rich matrix |
Processing method | Anticoagulant, centrifugation with separation of plasma and blood components | No anticoagulant, gentle centrifugation to form a stable fibrin network |
Composition | Primarily platelets and growth factors | Platelets, growth factors, fibrin matrix, white blood cells |
Release of growth factors | Relatively fast and short-term | Slower, continuous, and over a longer period of time |
Consistency | Liquid | Gel-like to matrix-like |
Regenerative effect | Proven activation of the body’s own healing processes | More intensive and sustainable tissue regeneration |
Tissue integration | Good biological compatibility | Improved integration due to fibrin structure |
Typical areas of application | Skin rejuvenation, hair stimulation, support of regeneration | Deeper skin regeneration, collagen buildup, structural effects, hair growth |
In our private dermatology practice in Hamburg, we not only use PRF, but also PRF in the form of a bio-gel. This gel represents a further processing of PRF and, in addition to the known mechanisms of action, offers further benefits.
These include:
With PRP therapy (also known as the “vampire lift”), our dermatology practice offers patients a particularly natural and gentle method to achieve rejuvenated skin and fuller hair. It serves as an effective alternative to BTX and fillers, allowing us to activate and support the body’s own regenerative powers.
