Physician to Physician Discussions > PRP Platelate Rich Plasma Subcutaneous Injection

I am new to the world of PRP subcutaneous injection. Was recently introduced by a sales rep for PRP tubes. Would some experienced PRP injectors give me some comments about my protocol?
1. Draw 8-10mL of Venous blood from Cephalic vein
2. Using the centrifuge to spin for 30 minute until 3 layers of precipitate appear.
3. Using a 23G needle syringe to draw up approximately 2.5mL to 3mL of PRP (Platelate Rich Plasma) from the middle layer of precipitate.
4. Immediately inject to the desired area using a 27G needle syringe.

The idea behind PRP injection is not instant filling effect but to improve collagenesis in the desired area.
Can someone share their experience with PRP injection and how are the results compared to Sculptra and Restylane Vital?

HI Kenneth,

We have had some good results with PRP, use it for acne scar rejuvenation, uptake of grafts on chronic ulcers, for follicular grafts both in vitiligo and hair transplant surgeries... we haven't used it as a filler but intra-dermal injections like mesotherapy for facial rejuvenation too

Are you from Taiwan or Hong Kong?

hi Dr Dolloway.

I practice in Taipei, Taiwan just minutes away from the Taipei 101 building. PRP is becoming quite popular in Asia. A lot of docs are using this in a mesotherapy-like procedure. Orthopods have been using PRP knee injection in conjunction to Hyaluronic acid in osteoarthritis patients. Not sure if the results are placebo related or not. Many patients swear by PRP injection of the knee joints.
