Regenerative aestheticsMesotherapy & PRP – regeneration from within
With mesotherapy we bring active ingredients into the skin in tiny amounts. With PRP we use plasma from your own blood, rich in growth factors. Both for fresher skin and stronger hair.

Mesotherapy & PRP in brief
Mesotherapy consists of intradermal micro-injections of a mixture of non-cross-linked hyaluronic acid, vitamins and amino acids. In PRP treatment (platelet-rich plasma) a concentrate of platelets is obtained from your own blood and injected into the skin or scalp.

- 3Blood count and coagulation measured in our practice laboratory if needed.
Medical responsibility: Dr. med. Abdurrahman Altuntas, Specialist FMH in Internal Medicine and NephrologyUpdated: November 2026How platelet-rich plasma works
PRP uses a mechanism the body also uses in wound healing:
Blood sample
A small amount of blood is drawn in the practice into a special tube that prevents clotting.
Centrifugation
The centrifuge separates red blood cells from plasma; the platelets collect in the upper part.
Growth factors
Platelets release growth factors that stimulate fibroblasts to form new collagen and promote circulation.
Injection
The plasma is distributed finely into the facial skin or scalp; the effect builds up over several weeks.
How mesotherapy and PRP work
- Consultation & laboratory – assess skin or scalp, blood tests in our own laboratory if needed
- Planning – define the series and intervals
- Treatment – for PRP: small blood sample, preparation, injection – about 45 minutes
- Review – assess progress together after the series
Health check first
For PRP, blood count and coagulation are important – we measure both on site in the practice laboratory if needed.
When we advise against
If a medical cause such as iron deficiency or a thyroid disorder lies behind skin problems or hair loss, we treat that first.
Risks and side effects
Redness, small bruises and slight swelling for a few hours to days. Rarely infection. With bleeding disorders or certain medications we check carefully beforehand.
Questions about mesotherapy and PRP
What is a PRP treatment?
PRP stands for platelet-rich plasma. A small blood sample is centrifuged to obtain the plasma, which is then injected into the skin or scalp.
What is the difference between mesotherapy and PRP?
Mesotherapy introduces active ingredients such as vitamins and hyaluronic acid; PRP uses your own plasma. Sometimes we combine both.
How many sessions are needed?
Usually 3 to 4 treatments about 4 weeks apart, followed by refreshers as needed.
When will I see results?
The skin usually looks fresher after a few weeks. Hair takes patience: first changes are usually visible after 3 to 6 months.
Who should not have PRP?
People with a low platelet count (thrombocytopenia), bleeding disorders, acute infections or inflammation in the treatment area, and during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
Your own plasma, nothing foreign
With PRP only your own plasma is used. Appointments by telephone.
