Do you notice that your skin no longer has the same firmness as a few years ago? Does your hair look weaker or have you been experiencing joint discomfort for a long time? These are changes that many people experience over time and that, sometimes, do not improve enough with conventional treatments.
In this context, Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) has become one of the regenerative therapies that is generating the most interest in recent years. Its particularity is that it takes advantage of the body's own repair mechanisms to try to promote the regeneration of certain tissues.
Doctora Enriqueta Garijo explains on her Instagram profile that the procedure begins with a blood draw from the patient themselves. Subsequently, the sample is processed to concentrate platelets and growth factors, which are then applied to the area to be treated.
Why PRP is increasingly used in aesthetic medicine
One of the fields where Platelet-Rich Plasma has gained greater popularity is aesthetic medicine. According to the specialist, it is used to improve skin quality, stimulate collagen production, and promote a more luminous and uniform appearance.
It is also used as support in certain hair treatments, as it can help stimulate hair follicles and improve the appearance of hair in some patients.
From the face to the joints: another use of PRP
Interest in this therapy is not limited to the aesthetic field. PRP is also used in certain muscle, tendon, and joint injuries.
Dr. Garijo points out that, in some cases, it can be used to promote tissue recovery and help reduce inflammation and persistent discomfort, especially when other treatments have not yielded the expected results.
"It's not a miracle treatment"
Despite its growing popularity, the specialist insists on sending a message of caution. "PRP is not magic, it's science. It's a tool that harnesses the body's natural ability to repair itself," she explains.
Therefore, she reminds that each patient requires an individual assessment and that results may vary depending on the characteristics and needs of each person.
The Doctora Enriqueta Garijo, a specialist in gynecology, regenerative aesthetic medicine, and women's health, has dedicated more than two decades to clinical practice and medical innovation. Throughout her career, she has received various professional recognitions for her work in the field of reproductive and regenerative medicine.
