Introduction
Have you ever heard of a treatment that uses your own blood to heal and rejuvenate your body? That’s exactly what PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) therapy does. From celebrities to everyday individuals, many are turning to PRP for its natural and effective results in treating hair loss, skin aging, and even joint pain.
But how does PRP treatment actually work? In this blog, we break down the science, step-by-step procedure, benefits, and aftercare involved in PRP therapy.
What is PRP Treatment?
PRP stands for Platelet-Rich Plasma, a highly concentrated component of your blood that is rich in platelets and growth factors. Platelets are essential for wound healing, tissue regeneration, and stimulating the body’s natural healing process.
PRP therapy involves extracting a small amount of your blood, processing it to isolate the platelet-rich plasma, and injecting it into the area that needs healing or rejuvenation—such as the scalp, skin, or joints.
How Does PRP Treatment Work?
Here’s a step-by-step look at how PRP treatment is performed:
1. Blood Collection
A small amount of your blood (around 10–30 ml) is drawn, similar to a routine blood test.
2. Centrifugation
The blood is placed in a centrifuge, a machine that spins it at high speed to separate the components. This process isolates the plasma rich in platelets.
3. Extraction of PRP
The concentrated PRP is collected in a syringe. It contains 3 to 5 times more platelets than normal blood.
4. Injection into Target Area
The PRP is carefully injected into the target area—such as the scalp (for hair growth), face (for skin rejuvenation), or knees (for joint pain).
Applications of PRP Therapy
