Quick answer
What is PRP therapy?
PRP (platelet-rich plasma) therapy is an autologous regenerative treatment. A small blood sample is spun in a centrifuge to concentrate platelets, which release growth factors that support tissue repair and collagen production. The PRP is then injected into or applied to the skin.
For the face it is used in Seoul for dull or tired skin, fine lines, under-eye crepiness and acne scars. Because it comes from your own blood, allergic reactions are very unlikely. For targeted placement see PRP injections.

FAQ
PRP Therapy questions
Is PRP therapy safe?
Because PRP is made from your own blood, allergic reactions are very unlikely. Bruising and mild swelling are the most common side effects.
How many sessions do I need?
Usually 3 sessions about 4 weeks apart for the best skin-quality result.
Does PRP help under-eye skin?
It can improve crepey texture and mild darkness under the eyes, though results vary between people.
Should I avoid painkillers?
Anti-inflammatory painkillers such as ibuprofen can reduce platelet activity, so the doctor may ask you to avoid them around treatment.
Do foreigners pay more?
No. International patients pay the same price as local patients at Umi Clinic.
