As the PRP treatment involves extracting blood from your own body, it is considered exceedingly safe. PRP is obtained via a blood draw. The amount of blood needed is 25x less than a blood donation. After blood is collected, it is centrifuged to extract PRP. The PRP solution is micro-injected into the hair follicles in the scalp. Pain is reduced through the application of pre-injection local anesthesia.
PRP is a treatment that helps some, but not all patients. Dr. Paul will discuss whether PRP is a fit for you during your consult, and together you can weigh up the benefits to decide if this is a treatment you want to undergo.
