How is PRP prepared?

Hey there! PRP preparation is a straightforward but meticulous process. Here’s a quick breakdown of how it’s done:

• Blood Collection: A small amount of blood is drawn from your vein, usually around 10-20 ml, depending on the area being treated.
• Centrifugation: The blood sample is placed in a centrifuge, a machine that spins rapidly to separate its components based on density. This step isolates the plasma and platelets from red and white blood cells.
• Plasma Extraction: After centrifugation, the platelet-rich plasma (the layer containing concentrated platelets) is carefully extracted using a syringe.
• Activation (Optional): In some cases, calcium chloride or thrombin is added to activate the platelets before application, enhancing their growth factor release.
• Application: The PRP is then injected or applied directly to the treatment area, whether it’s the skin, scalp, or joints.

It’s an entirely natural process since your own blood is used, reducing the risk of adverse reactions. Let me know if you have more questions! ????
