What are Biophiles Derived from PRP? | Natural Filler Derived from PRP - Dr. Ebru Söylemez, MD

In the field of medical aesthetics, one of the methods that has been increasingly discussed in recent years is the application of biophiles derived from PRP ( Platelet-Rich Plasma). This approach has become an attractive option for many people due to the use of components obtained from the patient's own blood.

PRP treatments have long been used to improve skin quality. Biophiles derived from PRP can be considered a different form of this method. In this article, I will share general information about what PRP biophiles are, how they are obtained, and in what situations they can be used .

What is PRP?

PRP, or Platelet Rich Plasma , refers to plasma rich in platelets obtained from the patient's own blood.

A small amount of blood is taken from the patient and separated through a special process. This process yields platelet-rich plasma. This component can be used for supportive purposes in some medical applications.

What are biophiles?

Biophiles are filler-like applications used to provide tissue support and volume.

Biophils obtained from PRP are a gel-like substance created by processing plasma obtained from the patient's own blood . Therefore, it can be considered an application performed without the use of an external synthetic filler.

How are biophiles obtained from PRP?

The basic process in PRP biophilic application proceeds as follows:

• A small amount of blood is taken from the person.

• Blood is separated using special devices.

• Platelet-rich plasma is obtained.

• This ingredient is processed to achieve a gel-like consistency.

  
  

The resulting biological material can then be applied to the appropriate areas.

In what situations can it be evaluated?

Biophils derived from PRP may be preferred during medical aesthetic evaluation for the following conditions:

• Supporting skin quality.

• To revitalize the skin's appearance.

• Areas requiring light volume support

• Supporting tissue quality

However, as with any treatment , suitability for an individual must be determined through an evaluation by a doctor.

In which areas of the face can it be used?

Biophils obtained from PRP can be used in different areas of the face in some cases. The application plan is determined according to the individual's needs.

The most frequently assessed areas of the face are:

• Under-eye area: To address mild hollowness under the eyes and improve skin quality.

• Nasolabial area: The area containing the lines extending from the side of the nose to the corner of the mouth.

• Cheek area: To support skin quality and provide light volume support.

• Around the mouth: To enhance the appearance of skin in areas where fine lines may be visible.

• Jawline area: To support tissue quality.

The suitability of this practice and the regions where it can be performed are always determined through individual assessment .

How long does the process take?

PRP biophilic treatment is a procedure that can usually be completed within 30–45 minutes .

A brief assessment is conducted before the procedure, and once the necessary preparations are completed, the procedure can be performed.

How many sessions are needed?

The number of sessions may vary depending on the individual's skin type and expectations.

Generally:

• 1 or 2 sessions may be sufficient.

• In some cases, repeat applications may be scheduled at specific intervals.

This planning is done as a result of personal assessment.

How many times a year do I recommend it be applied?

The frequency of PRP-derived biophilic acid (PRP) treatment can vary depending on the individual's skin type, age, and skin needs. Generally, this treatment can be considered once or twice a year for supportive purposes .

While some individuals may only need a single treatment, in other cases, repeating the treatment at specific intervals may be preferable to maintain skin quality.

Therefore, the implementation plan is always determined based on an individual assessment .

Conclusion

Biophils derived from PRP are one of the medical aesthetic approaches that utilize a person's own biological material. This method can be considered in some cases to support skin quality and improve tissue appearance.

As with all medical aesthetic procedures, the most accurate approach is to conduct a personalized assessment and determine the treatment plan accordingly.
