how much blood is typically taken, I read about two table spoons. When I went it was much more. The blood draw was the worst part, took 10 min. Nothing like when you get blood drawn during your yearly physical; small prick, 2 min done.
Answer: Blood draw for PRP; ENGLEWOOD CLIFFS NJ When drawing blood to prepare PRP, we use either a 11 ml or 22 ml tube. The 11 ml tube is similar to the collection tubes in clinical laboratories that prepare diagnostic testing. The 11 ml can prepare approximately 2.4 to 4 mL of high concentration PRP. This is PRP that is 3.8 to 5 times higher than that in the blood. There should be no difference in drawing this tube and what you encounter for Diagnostic blood drawing. We use a device called the Accuvein which shows us the veins in the arm. An experienced phlebotomist is necessary. Find a PRP expert. Ask to see photos.

Answer: How much blood for PRP This will vary by the collection system that your provider uses to process the PRP. I draw either 30mL or 60mL of blood to process for PRP depending upon the area being treated. I hope helps!Not everyone is a good candidate for this treatment so please see a Board Certified or Board Eligible Plastic Surgeon to evaluate if you may benefit. Good luck!

Answer: PRP Hair Loss Treatment Hello and thank you for your question. The blood required for the procedure is obtained through one needle stick unless there is poor flow from a small vein, or the needle moves etc. The amount of blood required/ drawn is proportional to the size of the area being treated and in average is approximately 16-20 cc for injections ONLY and without microneedling and topical PRP application.

Answer: How much blood for PRP The amount of blood required for PRP treatment depends on the size of the area to be covered and the concentrating ability of the PRP system.Generally speaking the amount drawn varies between 20-60 cc's (2-4 tablespoons).Roughly about 1/3 of that amount becomes usable PRP. In experienced hands the blood draw should take about 1 minute.
