Does prp use the blood portion or the yellow/clear ?

Question

due to medication right now my blood dries overly scabby and takes a long time to heal so for now anything that makes me bleed or uses my blood might be out of the question, will my thick blood condition be a problem for prp ? or is it out of the question and best saved for later ?

PRP is plasma containing platelets that are concentrated to various degrees based on the type of centrifuge used. It's devoid of white and red blood cells.Some PRP are blood tinged like when a Magellan PRP machine is used since it has some red blood in the final product. A lot of the other devices will produce PRP and or PPP and the plasma portion is yellow.

Thank you for your message. The PRP procedure involves drawing your blood, spinning it down with a centrifuge, and then taking the "straw" colored portion and either injecting that into the face or working it into the skin with microneedling. If you are on a medication that alters the time it takes for your blood to coagulate, I would recommend waiting until after you are off of this medication to do the procedure. The other option would be to check with your managing provider to ensure you are able to have the procedure.

PRP stands for Platelet Rich Plasma. It is often referred to as liquid gold due to the color of it as well as the quality of the immune and growth factors contained within it.

Dear Brad,Prp is the yellow fluid after the blood is spun in the centrifuge. Prp has an important job in healing, and is why it has been used for hair growth, skin Rejuvenation and wound healing.Best. Dr Brecht Seattle, Wa
