This article provides factual information about PRP hair therapy, what it is, how it works, and how it is used in clinical practice. It is intended for educational purposes.

PRP hair therapy is a procedure that uses a concentration of platelets derived from the patient’s own blood to support hair follicle activity in areas of the scalp affected by hair loss. The treatment is carried out in a clinical setting and does not require surgery or general anaesthesia.

Revital Medica distributes Ycellbio PRP Kits across Europe, the kits used by clinics to prepare platelet-rich plasma for hair therapy and other PRP procedures.

What Is Platelet-Rich Plasma?

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) is a component of blood that contains a higher-than-normal concentration of platelets. Platelets carry growth factors, proteins involved in tissue repair and cellular activity. When PRP is prepared from a patient’s own blood and introduced to a treatment area, it delivers these growth factors locally.

In hair therapy, PRP is injected into the scalp at the follicle level. The growth factors in the plasma interact with the follicular environment, which may support hair follicle function in patients experiencing certain types of hair loss.

How PRP Hair Therapy Is Performed

PRP hair loss treatment is carried out using a straightforward process that takes place entirely at the point of care. A typical session involves the following steps:

• A small blood sample, approximately 15 ml, is drawn from the patient
• The sample is placed in a PRP kit and processed in a centrifuge for around five minutes
• The centrifuge separates the platelet-rich plasma from red blood cells and other components
• The prepared plasma is drawn into a syringe and injected into the target areas of the scalp
• No hospital admission is required; the patient can leave immediately after the session

The number of sessions recommended varies depending on the patient’s clinical presentation. Medical professionals typically assess the individual’s hair loss pattern and history before determining a treatment plan.

Types of Hair Loss PRP Therapy Is Used For

PRP hair therapy is used in clinical practice for several types of hair loss. It is not suitable for all patients or all forms of hair loss, and clinical assessment is required before treatment.

It is commonly used in the following presentations:

• Androgenetic alopecia, gradual thinning at the crown or hairline in men and women
• Alopecia areata, patchy hair loss with intact follicles
• Diffuse hair thinning related to physiological or hormonal changes
• Hair loss where follicles remain present but are in a reduced state of activity

PRP hair regrowth therapy is generally not indicated for patients where follicles have been completely lost or where scarring has occurred at the scalp level. A clinical consultation is necessary to determine suitability.

The Preparation System Used in PRP Hair Therapy

The quality of platelet rich plasma hair treatment depends in part on the preparation system used. The concentration of platelets in the final plasma, the sterility of the process, and the consistency of results across sessions are all factors that clinics consider when selecting a PRP kit.

Ycellbio PRP Kits, distributed across Europe by Revital Medica, are designed to produce a high-concentration platelet preparation in approximately five minutes. The kit uses a Y-shaped tube with a slim neck section, which keeps the platelet layer, known as the Buffy Coat, visible during processing. A control knob at the base of the tube allows adjustment of the blood cell column height.

Ycellbio PRP Kits are FDA-registered Class 1 medical devices, manufactured for single use. They are compatible with both swing-out and fixed-angle centrifuges and are used by medical professionals in over 40 countries.

PRP Hair Therapy as a Non-Surgical Option

As a non surgical hair loss treatment, PRP hair therapy does not involve incisions, implants, or general anaesthesia. The procedure uses the patient’s own blood, which reduces the risk of allergic reaction. Recovery time is not typically required, and patients are usually able to resume normal activity on the day of treatment.

This makes it a procedure that can be offered in outpatient clinical settings, including aesthetic clinics, dermatology practices, and hair restoration centres. It is commonly used alongside other hair loss management approaches, depending on the patient’s individual circumstances.
