What is platelet rich plasma?

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a medical treatment that uses components of your own blood to promote healing and rejuvenation.

How is platelet rich plasma made?

The procedure involves drawing a small amount of your blood and processing it in a centrifuge to separate the platelets and plasma from other blood components. The resulting PRP, which is rich in growth factors and proteins, is then injected into specific areas of the scalp or skin.

What are the side effects?

There are several side effects that can come with PRP injections.

•Redness: The injection sites may become red for a short period.

•Swelling: Mild swelling can occur around the injection area.

•Discomfort: Some patients experience soreness or tenderness at the injection sites.

•Bruising: Small bruises may develop at the injection sites due to the needle.

•Infection: While rare, there is a slight risk of infection at the injection sites.

•Allergic Reaction: Since PRP uses your own blood, the risk of an allergic reaction is very low.

Overall, side effects are usually mild and short-lived, with most patients resuming normal activities immediately after the procedure.
