Procedure
A nurse takes a small blood sample from your arm. A centrifuge separates the platelet-rich plasma. A numbing cream or cold spray goes on your scalp. Your doctor then injects the plasma across the thinning areas with a fine needle.
Recovery
Expect mild tenderness, redness or tightness on the scalp for 1 to 2 days. Most people return to work the same day. Skip hair washing for 12 to 24 hours. Skip hair dye, heat styling and intense exercise for 48 hours.
