PRP (platelet rich plasma) therapy is a 3 step medical treatment process to treat hair loss which includes blood to be drawn, processed and then the plasma injected in the scalp.

Procedure
Depending on the area treated, a volume of blood is taken. This is usually between 10 to 30 ml. The blood is centrifuged for 15-20 minutes. Once the concentrated platelets are separated from the whole blood, they are injected into the skin of the scalp. This plasma hair treatment takes around 1-1.5 hrs.
