PRP Regenlab Swiss (Platelet-Rich Plasma)

Skinity Clinic uses the Swiss Regenlab PRP system — a CE-certified, clinically validated platelet-rich plasma preparation protocol that delivers a consistently high concentration of growth factors from the patient's own blood. MUDr. Martin Bortlík draws a small blood sample, processes it in the Regenlab centrifuge to concentrate platelets, and re-injects the PRP into the target area using micro-needling or direct injection. The growth factors released — PDGF, TGF-β, VEGF, and IGF — trigger collagen synthesis, recruit stem cells, accelerate tissue repair, and improve vascularisation. Applications at Skinity include facial skin rejuvenation, under-eye dark circles, hair loss (androgenetic alopecia, diffuse thinning), and scar treatment.

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy uses concentrations of your own platelets — blood cells that carry a dense payload of growth factors and cytokines — to stimulate tissue regeneration and repair. At Skinity Clinic, MUDr. Martin Bortlík uses the Regenlab Cellular Matrix and RegenPRP systems manufactured in Switzerland, which are among the most rigorously clinically validated PRP preparation kits available in Europe, with CE marking and documented studies supporting consistent platelet concentration (typically 5–8× baseline) and sterility. **How PRP is prepared:** A 10–20 mL blood draw is taken from the patient's arm, placed in a Regenlab tube containing a gel separator and anticoagulant, and centrifuged according to the manufacturer-validated protocol (typically 1,500–2,000 rpm for 5–8 minutes). The resulting plasma layer above the gel separator is rich in platelets and poor in red cells. This PRP is then drawn into syringes for immediate injection — the entire process from blood draw to injection takes approximately 20–30 minutes, ensuring growth factor viability. **Growth factors released on activation:** Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), epidermal growth factor (EGF), fibroblast growth factor (FGF), and insulin-like growth factor (IGF-1). These collectively promote fibroblast proliferation, collagen and elastin synthesis, angiogenesis, and keratinocyte migration. **Facial rejuvenation:** PRP is micro-needled or injected across the face and neck to improve skin texture, tone, and firmness. Patients notice a progressive improvement in skin luminosity and elasticity over 4–8 weeks post-treatment. **Hair restoration:** PRP injected into the scalp targets follicle stem cells, prolongs the anagen (growth) phase, and may reverse miniaturisation of follicles in early-to-moderate androgenetic alopecia. A series of 3 sessions 4 weeks apart is the standard protocol, with maintenance sessions every 4–6 months. **Under-eye rejuvenation:** Injected into the tear trough and periorbital zone to improve dark circles (vascular component), thin skin, and superficial hollowing. One of the safest filler alternatives in this sensitive zone. **Treatment protocol:** The standard Regenlab protocol is 3 sessions 4 weeks apart for facial rejuvenation or hair loss. Annual maintenance is recommended. For joint applications (osteoarthritis, tendinopathy), the same protocol applies. **Safety profile:** PRP is autologous — derived from the patient's own blood — eliminating the risk of allergy or immune rejection. The primary risks are bruising, soreness, and mild swelling at injection sites, resolving within 48–72 hours. **Contraindications:** Thrombocytopenia (low platelets), blood disorders, active infection at the treatment site, systemic corticosteroid use within 2 weeks, immunosuppressive therapy, pregnancy.
