For PRP we take the patient’s own blood .Add it into a special tube and  process it in a special centrifuge machine with complete sterile precautions so that the platelets get separated from the blood. We get a light brown coloured solution which is very rich in platelets. This solution of platelets contains many growth factors which strengthens the hair. The affected area is treated with the PRP solution with a dermaroller, mesogun or an insulin syringe.
