How is Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) Obtained?
PRP is a regenerative treatment that harnesses the healing power of your own blood.
1. A blood draw similar to that of a common analysis is performed, generally from the patient’s arm.
2. The extracted blood is placed in a centrifuge, a machine that spins at high speed to separate the components of the blood. This process takes about 10-15 minutes.
3. The platelet-rich plasma layer is carefully extracted, which is the one that contains the essential growth factors for cell regeneration.
4. The PRP obtained is then injected into the area to be treated, such as the scalp, to stimulate tissue regeneration and promote hair growth.
