- The provider draws a small sample of the patient’s blood and processes it in a centrifuge to separate the PRP and activate the strong growth factors that the PRP contains.
- The patient receives a local anesthetic in the target site to numb that region of the scalp.
- Subsequently, the provider will inject the PRP in the targeted site focusing mainly on the regions experiencing the most severe loss of hair. The provider uses a fine gauge needle to administer these injections in a matrix pattern across the scalp to enhance the restorative effect of the PRP.
- The PRP recovery process is typically comfortable, and the patient can take OTC pain meds such as ibuprofen to address mild discomfort.
