PRP therapy process

Different doctors have different regimes for administering the PRP therapy. We at our clinic have modified the procedure and call it as Bio Therapy. In the suitable patients, we usually give three treatments one month apart and then maintenance dose 3 to 6 month apart depending on the response of patient.

• Step 1Blood is drawn from your arm vein under aseptic precaution and then put into centrifuge machine which spin the blood. The spinning of machine separates the blood into fluids of various densities.
• Step 2After about 10-20 minutes in the centrifuge, your blood will have separated into in three layers:
  1. platelet-poor plasma
  2. platelet-rich plasma
  3. red blood cells
• Step 3The platelet-rich plasma is drawn up into an insulin syringe and then injected into areas of the scalp that needs increased hair growth.
• Step 4In case you choose the PRP therapy with hair transplant, we dip the plucked hair follicle into the PRP and then implant in to the scalp

Side effects

All over the world PRP therapy believed to be safest procedure for the simple reason as this his own blood only which is used to inject into the scalp. Thus there is no chance of blood related infection. Though rare but still any treatment that involves injections always carries a risk of side effects such as:

• infection at the injected site
• injury to blood vessels
• Injuries to nerves
• There may be allergic reaction to the anesthesia used in the therapy. If you decide to pursue PRP therapy for hair loss, let your doctor know in advance if you had any allergy to anesthesia.
