PRP Plasma Therapy (Skin, Hair & Joints)

Aura Medical Clinic administers PRP (platelet-rich plasma) therapy as a physician-supervised regenerative treatment for three indication areas: skin rejuvenation (full face, décolleté, and neck), hair follicle revitalisation (scalp), and joint regeneration (intra-articular injection for early osteoarthritis and post-injury recovery). The process uses the patient's own venous blood — 10 ml drawn in a closed system, centrifuged to concentrate platelets four to six times above baseline, and activated to release growth factors including PDGF, VEGF, EGF, FGF, and TGF. These signalling proteins drive collagen synthesis, angiogenesis, and tissue repair at the injection site. The closed-system protocol ensures biological safety throughout, with the patient present from draw to re-injection. A course of three sessions at 14–20 day intervals is recommended for optimal outcomes, with results lasting 8–12 months.

Platelet-rich plasma therapy at Aura Medical Clinic is administered within the clinic's regenerative medicine framework, performed exclusively by physicians with a strict closed-system protocol to maintain biological integrity from blood draw through to injection. **The science of PRP.** Whole blood contains platelets (thrombocytes) at approximately 150,000–400,000 per µl. PRP preparation concentrates these to 1.5–6 times baseline — delivering a dense bolus of platelet-derived growth factors directly to the target tissue. Upon activation (typically via calcium chloride), the platelets degranulate and release a cocktail of signalling proteins: platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF, stimulating cell proliferation and angiogenesis), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF, driving new blood vessel formation), epidermal growth factor (EGF, accelerating epithelial healing), fibroblast growth factor (FGF, stimulating collagen and elastin synthesis), and transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β, modulating inflammation and scar formation). Together these signals activate resident stem cells and fibroblasts to repair and rebuild tissue. **Indications and protocols at Aura.** The clinic applies PRP across three clinical areas: 1. **Skin rejuvenation (Mesolift / subdermal injection).** A series of micro-injections across the full face — and optionally the décolleté and neck — delivers PRP into the dermis and subdermis. Indicated for skin laxity, fine-to-moderate wrinkles, dull complexion, and loss of elasticity. Effect: improved hydration, texture, and firmness. Course: 3 sessions at 21-day intervals; results visible 2–3 weeks after completion; effect lasts 8–12 months. Full-face session 4,000 Kč; décolleté + neck 4,200 Kč. 2. **Wrinkle volumisation.** PRP used as a natural filler in grooves and nasolabial folds — injected subdermally at wrinkle sites for a volumising and regenerative dual effect. 6,600 Kč per session. 3. **Hair therapy (trichological PRP).** Scalp micro-injection protocol to re-activate miniaturised hair follicles in androgenetic alopecia, alopecia areata, and stress-related diffuse hair loss. PRP increases scalp microcirculation and delivers growth factors directly to the follicular papilla — the structure responsible for driving hair growth. 3,200 Kč per session; 3–6 sessions recommended. 4. **Joint regeneration (intra-articular PRP).** Single-injection protocol into the target joint space — knee, hip, shoulder, or ankle — for early-to-moderate osteoarthritis, tendon injuries, and post-surgical joint rehabilitation. Acts by suppressing inflammatory cytokines, stimulating synoviocyte hyaluronic acid production, and promoting cartilage repair. 5,000 Kč per injection. **Session procedure.** Approximately 10 ml of venous blood is drawn using a closed-system collection tube. The sample is centrifuged in the clinic (typically 8–10 minutes) to separate erythrocytes from plasma. The PRP layer is aspirated under sterile conditions, activated, and injected within minutes. Total session time approximately 45–60 minutes including draw, centrifugation, and injection. **Who benefits.** The treatment is suitable for all age groups showing early signs of skin ageing, fatigue, or sagging; patients with androgenetic or reactive hair loss; athletes with joint injuries; and patients with early osteoarthritic changes before surgery becomes necessary. Suitable for allergic and sensitive patients given the autologous origin. **Contraindicated** in active infection, active acne over the treatment area, haemophilia, chronic hepatic disease, and low platelet count.
