PRP ve Botoks Uygulamasının Farklılıkları

Many questions are asked, for instance, ''Is PRP a Botox application?'' PRP and Botox applications are functionally different therapies used for wrinkles. PRP is a regenerative medicine technique and allows tissues to rejuvenate with patient's own cells. On the contrary, Botox applications aim to get good cosmetic results by paralyzing the patient's muscles with external special proteins.

According to the needs of the patient, PRP or Botox can be preferred and even applied to the patient as a combined therapy. Since PRP is a rejuvenation process, it helps to remove wrinkles by supporting collagen production and cell isolation. Botox, on the other hand, is the process of preventing wrinkles by paralyzing the nerve endings and preventing the movement of the muscles. While PRP processes can be used to remove existing or future wrinkles, it can also be applied to obtain a young and a bright skin. Botox, in contrast, paralyzes the muscles and affects the wrinkles due to muscle movements. That is why the two methods are completely different from each other.

Botox application after PRP and their interactions with each other is another topic to be curious. This subject is also a controversial issue among physicians. There are many physicians who state that there is no problem in combined treatments, as there are physicians who do not like botox applications after PRP. However, scientific studies have proven that botox and PRP do not inhibit each other. It should be remembered that these two techniques are used in combination when necessary, do not show an effect at once. Especially with the slow release of PRP Growth factors, it will give the expected results within 1 or 2 weeks.
