Why is PRP injections treatment so costly considering that there is no expensive pharmaceutical injectable involved but the patients' own blood, and the time for the procedure so short (20 min)?
Answer: PRP COSTS? ENGLEWOOD CLIFFS NJ In my opinion, I agree the cost of PRP should be reasonable. The factors that must be taken into consideration are the cost of the tubes, staff time, photography and the doctors injection time. Our costs are low $400 to $600 for an 11ml vial or 22 ml vial of blood. We have tried to keep it affordable to most individuals. When one adds Acell or an extracellular Matrix, the price increases significantly. I don't believe that this extra cost is necessary. Find a PRP expert. Hope this helps. Good luck.

Answer: Justifying Expense of PRP Injections There are many factors to consider with PRP injections. The cost of the kit, the skill of the provider, and the time spent with the patient. It certainly takes longer than 20 minutes to inject a patient’s face with PRP. At our office we typically schedule about an hour so that we can obtain photos, collect a blood specimen, and spin the blood in our centrifuge. We also offer a topical numbing agent if the patient desires, although most patients do not need this.

Answer: Why is PRP so expensive? There are around 30 commercially available Platelet Rich Plasma kits currently available on the market. Even though it is your own PRP that is being injected, it still needs to be collected in a sterile way, centrifuged in special vacutainer tubes containing a gel to separate the red blood cells from the buffy coat (white blood cell layer) and platelet rich fraction and then reinjected with a cannula. This procedure is costly because of the equipment and supplies involved, sterility of the procedure, and the physician's skills and compensation for time involved.
