The process of Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy for hair restoration generally involves several steps. Here is an overview of the typical procedure:

Consultation:
Before undergoing PRP therapy, you will typically have a consultation with Dr. G. During this consultation, your medical history, current medications, and the extent of your hair loss will be discussed.

Blood Collection:
On the day of the procedure, a small amount of blood (usually around 10-20 milliliters) is drawn from your arm, similar to a routine blood test.

Centrifugation:
The collected blood is then processed using a centrifuge machine. The centrifuge spins the blood at high speeds, separating it into different components based on density. This process isolates the platelets and concentrates them in a small volume of plasma.

Preparation of PRP:
The concentrated platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is then prepared for injection. It typically appears as a yellowish fluid and contains a higher concentration of platelets compared to normal blood.

Anesthesia:
Before the PRP is injected into the scalp, the target area is often numbed using a local anesthetic to minimize discomfort during the procedure.

PRP Injection:
Using fine needles or through microneedling techniques, the prepared PRP is injected directly into the targeted areas of the scalp where hair thinning or loss is occurring. The injections are spaced across the affected areas.

Post-Injection Care:
Patients are typically given post-procedure care instructions, which may include avoiding certain activities (such as vigorous exercise) for a short period.

Follow-Up Sessions:
PRP therapy for hair restoration often involves multiple sessions to achieve the best results. The number of sessions and the interval between them can vary based on the individual’s response to the treatment and the severity of the hair loss.
