How is the Treatment Carried Out?
Consultation
A trained professional will assess your suitability for PRP and discuss your goals and expectations.
Blood Collection
A small amount of blood from the arm is drawn, similar to a routine blood test
Centrifugation
The collected blood is placed in a centrifuge machine, which spins it at high speed to separate the platelets from other blood components. This process creates a concentrated, platelet-rich plasma.
Injection/Topical Application
The PRP is then injected into the targeted area using fine needles or applied topically if combined with microneedling. The platelets release growth factors that stimulate the healing and regenerative process.
Completion
The entire procedure typically takes about 30–60 minutes, depending on the area being treated. Most patients experience little to no downtime.
