What is each part used for if both are used.
With PRP only the yellow portion is used. This is serum with most of the red blood cell taken out. The red blood cells are what give blood it's red color. When you take them out you are left the serum (which is yellow in color), platelets and tons of growth factors. The platelets are the part of the blood that start the clotting cascade and healing process. When applied topically or injected the platelet rich plasma (serum) has stimulatory effects in the dermis, helping to rejuvenate and tighten the skin.The red part is usually discarded--though I've heard it is great fertilizer for rose bushes. I'm not much of a gardener so I cannot speak to the effectiveness of this use!Best of luck this you,Dr. Amy
With PRP just the central yellow portion is used. This is referred to as liquid gold as it contains rich regenerative factors to stimulate hair growrh
