First, the service provider will meet with you and review your concerns. Be sure to provide full transparency and detail so that they can identify how many sessions you may need and create a plan to address your needs.
The Details
Well, typically at the medical spa, a technician will draw blood, place it in a centrifuge to spin it and separate the ‘healthiest’ blood. After the separation, this platelet rich plasma is placed in a syringe and later injected into the scalps around the areas of concern.
At a follow up visit, the service provider will evaluate your progress and continue to plan your protocol. Try to proceed free of expectations as this takes time to see results. Repeated visits are important to continue to fuel the area with platelet rich plasma.
How Much Does PRP Cost?
Prices vary by region and popularity. In areas where there is high demand and supply, the price is actually lower based on competition. In other places where specialists are scarce, the price is higher. That being said, treatments can start as low as $299 to $1500. Always inquire when you call and ask about treatments. Typically 4-6 treatments are recommended so people can see results so it’s a good idea to request pricing to anticipate the expense.
