Treatment guide
What you should know
What happens during treatment?
A small blood sample is drawn and processed in a centrifuge to separate the platelet-rich component. The prepared plasma is then applied or injected into the planned scalp areas using a clinical protocol.
Treatment schedule
PRP is usually planned as a course rather than a single guaranteed treatment. The number and timing of sessions depend on the patient’s assessment, response and clinician’s recommendations. Maintenance may be discussed where appropriate.
