PRP Hair Treatment Procedure
The PRP hair treatment is a four-step process as explained below –
- Collection Of Blood Sample:
As the first step of the PRP hair loss treatment process, your doctor will take a 20 ml blood sample. - Separation Of Platelets:
Dermatologists use the centrifuge technique for the separation of platelets from the blood. The double spin method ensures the optimal concentration of platelets that are rich in growth factors. - Extraction and Activation Of PRP From The Blood:
Doctors extract Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) from the remaining layers of Platelet Poor Plasma (PPP), and red blood cells in the tube. Before injecting the PRP into a patient’s scalp, trichologists activate the growth factors in the plasma using an activating agent. - Insertion Of PRP Into Affected Area With Injections:
In the last step, dermatologists inject the PRP extracted from the blood safely into the affected area on the scalp with the use of microneedles. Before inserting the platelet-rich plasma, your dermatologist will administer local anaesthesia into the scalp margin, so that you don’t feel any pain.
