The PRP hair treatment consists of four steps, as detailed below:
- Blood Sample Collection: Your doctor will take a 20 ml blood sample as the first step in the PRP Treatment process.
- Platelet Separation: Dermatologists separate platelets from the blood using the centrifuge technique. The twofold spin process guarantees that platelets rich in growth factors are concentrated to their maximum potential.
- PRP Extraction and Activation from Blood: Doctors extract PRP from the remaining layers of Platelet Poor Plasma (PPP) and red blood cells in the tube. Dermatologists use an activating agent to activate the growth factors in PRP before injecting it into a patient’s scalp.
- Injections of PRP into Damaged Area: In the final stage, dermatologists utilize micro needles to carefully inject the PRP collected from the blood into the affected area on the scalp. Your dermatologist will inject a local anesthetic into the scalp margin before inserting the platelet-rich plasma, ensuring that you are pain-free.
