PRP therapy involves drawing a small volume of blood and processing it in a centrifuge to separate red blood cells from plasma and concentrate platelets. PRP can be injected into wrinkles, lines, and folds via micro-puncture (mesotherapy) or infused during microneedling sessions to improve skin texture, reduce fine lines, pores, and scars, rejuvenate the skin’s appearance, promote a youthful glow, and stimulate hair growth (hair restoration).

PRP Natura Gel adds an extra step to transform your PRP into GEL = PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) Gel Biostimulation. Often called the "Ultimate Refresh," this treatment uses your body’s own growth factors to trigger deep cellular repair and collagen production. Unlike traditional fillers or traditional biostimulators (Radiesse or Sculptra), PRP Gel works from the inside out to improve skin texture, add subtle volume, and restore that youthful bounce you’ve been missing.

Popular Treatment Areas for PRP Natura Gel
- Face: Smooth out fine lines, improve overall skin tone and skin laxity, subtle volume enhancements on the cheek, NLF, marionette areas
- Neck: Address "tech neck" lines and tighten skin laxity.
- Chest (Décolletage): Repair sun damage and crepiness for a smoother, firmer appearance.
- Hands: Restore lost volume and diminish the visibility of veins and tendons.

Indications for regular PRP ("vampire facial") + microneedling | mesotherapy
