The amount of blood needed for PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) hair treatment typically ranges from 20 to 60 mL.
This blood is drawn from the patient and then processed using a centrifuge to separate and concentrate the platelets. Different PRP kits and systems are commercially available, and they all work based on this principle of centrifugation. The specific volume of blood required can vary depending on the kit used and the practitioner's preference.
Here's a breakdown:
- The Basic Process: Blood is drawn, spun in a centrifuge to concentrate platelets, and then injected into the scalp.
- Volume Range: 20-60 mL is the standard range for most commercially available PRP kits.
- Kit Variation: Different kits may have different requirements based on their centrifugation method and efficiency of platelet concentration.
Therefore, while the exact amount can vary, expect somewhere between 20 and 60 mL of blood to be drawn for a PRP hair treatment. Discussing the specific volume with your chosen clinic is recommended.
