PRP Autologous Blood Therapy in Frankfurt
At our dermatology practice in Frankfurt, we specifically use PRP (platelet-rich plasma) therapy in combination with medical microneedling to treat complex skin and tissue changes.
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) treatment is a therapy that uses only the body’s own cells. For this procedure, we draw a small amount of blood (approximately 8–10 ml) from a vein. Through a special centrifugation and processing procedure, the body’s own platelets are isolated and concentrated in a highly concentrated plasma. This injected preparation is rich in cellular growth factors (such as VEGF, EGF, and FGF), which specifically stimulate tissue regeneration and the body’s own collagen biosynthesis.
Medical Microneedling with Dermapen and PRP
Through the additional use of a medical Dermapen (with a penetration depth of 2.5 mm to 3.0 mm), the prepared PRP is introduced over a broad area and at a deep level into the affected skin layers. The combination of mechanical microtrauma and biological growth factors stimulates structural remodeling in the tissue. As a result, depressed scars—particularly acne scars—as well as irregularities in the skin’s texture can be gradually reduced.
The treatment is relatively painless thanks to the prior application of a numbing cream.
Medical Applications
PRP therapy using the patient’s own blood, in combination with microneedling, is used at our Frankfurt practice for the following medical conditions:
- Atrophic acne scars: Restoration of tissue loss following healed acne.
- Traumatic or postoperative facial scars: Improving the texture and smoothing out scars from injuries and surgeries.
- Scars Resulting from Inflammatory Skin Diseases: Medical Management of Tissue Changes Following Inflammatory Processes.
- Symptomatic Striae Distensae: Targeted Tissue Stimulation for Stretch Marks and Pregnancy Marks.
- Vitiligo (white spot disease): Supports cellular regeneration in depigmented areas.
An Overview of the Benefits of Medical PRP Therapy:
- High Biocompatibility: Because only the patient’s own plasma is used, allergic reactions or intolerance are virtually impossible.
- Deep-Tissue Regeneration: Direct stimulation of the extracellular matrix in deep tissue layers.
- Minimal downtime: A gentle, outpatient procedure with a short recovery period.
Microneedling with PRP – Frequently Asked Questions
Is PRP treatment suitable for all skin types?
Our experienced team of doctors will be happy to consult with you in person and determine whether the treatment is suitable for your skin type and your individual skin condition. Visit us at our private dermatology practice in Frankfurt to learn more about the benefits of medical microneedling with PRP.
How many sessions are required?
The number of treatments required depends on the type and severity of the condition. We generally recommend a course of 3 to 4 sessions, spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart, to achieve gradual tissue regeneration. To maintain the results of the medical treatment, follow-up sessions at intervals of 6 to 12 months may be beneficial.
