This article explains what PRP therapy for hair loss involves, how the preparation process works, and what factors clinics consider when selecting a PRP kit. The information is factual and educational in nature.
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy is a procedure used in hair loss treatment. It involves drawing a small amount of the patient’s own blood, processing it to isolate platelets, and injecting the resulting plasma into areas of the scalp affected by hair thinning or hair loss.
This article outlines how the procedure works, which patient groups it is commonly used for, and what medical professionals consider when choosing a PRP kit for clinical use.
Revital Medica is the official European distributor of Ycellbio PRP Kits, used by clinics across Europe for PRP therapy procedures.
What Is PRP Therapy for Hair Loss?
PRP therapy for hair loss is based on the use of growth factors found in platelets. When concentrated plasma is introduced into the scalp, it may support the activity of hair follicles and contribute to a reduction in hair thinning over time.
The procedure is autologous, meaning it uses the patient’s own blood. No synthetic substances are added. The prepared plasma is injected directly into the scalp at the treatment area.
How the Procedure Is Carried Out
The typical steps in a PRP hair therapy session are as follows:
- A blood sample is drawn from the patient, usually around 15 ml
- The sample is placed in a PRP kit and processed in a centrifuge
- The centrifuge separates the platelet-rich plasma from other blood components
- The prepared plasma is injected into the scalp in the areas being treated
- The session is completed at the point of care, without hospital admission
Processing time using Ycellbio PRP Kits, available through Revital Medica, is approximately five minutes. The kits are designed as a closed, single-use system to maintain sterility throughout the process.
Patient Groups Commonly Referred for PRP Hair Therapy
PRP therapy for hair loss is used across a range of clinical presentations. Medical professionals commonly consider it when patients experience:
- Gradual hair thinning at the crown or hairline
- Diffuse hair loss associated with hormonal or physiological changes
- Patchy hair loss such as alopecia areata
- Reduced hair density without complete follicle loss
As a non-surgical procedure requiring no general anesthesia and no recovery period, it is used in outpatient clinical settings. Patients are typically able to resume normal activity on the same day.
What Clinics Consider When Selecting PRP Kits
Clinics offering PRP hair therapy consider several practical factors when selecting a PRP preparation system. These typically include platelet concentration levels, preparation time, compatibility with existing centrifuge equipment, and the sterility of the preparation process.
When evaluating prp kits, clinics also consider ease of use and whether the system requires additional specialist equipment. Ycellbio kits, distributed across Europe by Revital Medica, are compatible with both swing-out and fixed-angle centrifuges commonly found in clinical settings.
Platelet Concentration
The concentration of platelets in the prepared plasma is a key technical consideration. Ycellbio PRP Kits use a design that amplifies centrifugal forces during processing, which produces a higher platelet concentration compared to standard separation methods. The Y-shaped tube includes a slim neck section that keeps the platelet layer visible, and a control knob that allows the clinician to adjust the position of the blood cell column.
Ycellbio PRP Kits are FDA-registered Class 1 medical devices, used by medical professionals in over 40 countries. Each kit is a single-use, closed system designed to maintain sterility throughout the preparation process.
Preparation Time
Preparation time is a practical consideration in busy clinical environments. The Ycellbio system is designed to complete the separation process in approximately five minutes, from blood draw to prepared plasma. This allows the procedure to be completed at the point of care within a standard appointment.
