The Regen Lab kit concentrates platelets to 1.6x. Most clinicians prefer 4 to 5x. Magellan can go to 8x. No formal comparison studies exist on ideal concentration. The Magellan system leaves a high number of red blood cells. This may cause increased inflammation which some clinicians believe is not helpful. I prefer the Eclipse system which can deliver 4 to 5x with minimal red cells from a 22ml tube and is FDA approved. PRPHAIRMD.COM
Thank you for your question . I truly believe that Regenlab or Eclipse or DrPRP etc can concentrate the same amount of platelets from 10 ml of blood . No difference at all . As was mentioned before , the most platelets can be extracted and concentrated from 60 ml of blood using MAGELLAN® Autologous Platelet Separator System.
There are multiple kits that are effective for PRP treatment. I would discuss the kits with your hair loss professional.
PRP kit such asregen eclipse only concentrate the platelets to about 1.6 times that of normal plasma. That's how they get so much "prp" from 10ml of blood. I prefer kits such as harvest or encyte that concentrate 60ml of blood into 6 to 8ml of prp, this is true prp. Regen will try to confuse you by talking about the percent of platelets captured, not the actual platelet concentration, or percent of the prp that is platelets. There is no way you can get more platelets from 10ml of blood vs 60ml. It's amazing a lot of doctors fall for this trick.
I recommend monthly treatments for 4 months to get the best results for PRP. Most patients see their initial growth between the 2nd to 3rd treatment.
PRP does not affect DHT. Therefore, the best combinations are those which block DHT and are combined with PRP. Blockers of DHT include FDA-approved Propecia, off label dutasteride and progesterone. In summary, PRP can decrease or possibly prevent hair loss, however it does not do it by reducing...
One treatment is not enough to gauge whether it is successful or not. I recommend 4 treatments, on a once per month regimen. Most patients see their initial growth between the 2nd and 3rd treatment.
