The Treatment Process

Autologous Platelet Rich Plasma (A-PRP) injections rely on a technique that is both simple and safe.

First, a blood sample is drawn, typically from the patient’s arm. Then, the sample is placed in a centrifuge which spins to separate the blood into its components. At this point of the PRP for hair loss process, the plasma is isolated from the sample’s red blood cells. Recall that the plasma is comprised of platelets which have the ability to locally release growth factors – small molecules which act as messengers to initiate the process of cellular regeneration. This plasma is then ready to be injected across the scalp.

Seeing as the injectable is prepared from the patient’s own blood, the risk of rejection or allergic reactions is minimized.
