Achieve a more youthful appearance with your own growth factors

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a potent and innovative regenerative treatment to combat facial aging. This preparation is a biological derivative made from the patient's own blood, containing a high concentration of their growth factors.

Being an autologous treatment, where the donor and recipient are the same person, it is a unique and biocompatible procedure. At Barraquer, it is prepared in the center's own laboratory, ensuring optimal sterility conditions and greater effectiveness.

PRP is a procedure that has been used for years in various areas, such as regenerative medicine, maxillofacial surgery, sports medicine, ophthalmology, or dentistry. However, it is primarily associated with aesthetic medicine due to its effectiveness in treating a wide range of conditions, including:

• Wrinkles
• Alopecia
• Acne scars
• Skin sagging
