    Default PRP at home with Centrifuge and Mesotherapy Gun

    Greetings,

    Does anybody have any knowledge of administering PRP at home?

    I'm finding positive research of PRP after 6 or more treatments but this seems expensive with treatments ranging $600-1200 or more.

    After some research, I discovered that a Centrifuge can be purchased online for under $200 and a Mesotherapy Gun can be purchased for under $500.

    Drawing blood seems like its the most difficult part, yet many in-home kits provide practical & safe solutions. PRP & Centrifuge prep videos are all over youtube and along with the mesotherapy gun to administer the PRP I see plausible in-home solution.

    I know it sounds far-fetched, but so does shelling out 6k dollars or more. I'd love to hear anyones thoughts.

    Thanks

    It is very much possible to do this by yourself...... so let me give you some context here-

    I recently got a centrifuge machine for about 20-25$, 31 gauge injections (for painless scalp injections) : these are the types that diabetic patients use, 21 gauge injection to draw blood (initially check it out on youtube and ask someone to do it for you), lastly and this is the most important part => you need a anticoagulant which can come in ready-made tubes that you draw blood, mix it and then put it in the centrifuge machine. Eg. EDTA, etc......

    This is where i am stuck on - the right type of anticoagulant cause you dont want to inject some other random stuff. I am trying to get this info from docs but really hard cause they are reluctant (as its the only piece of missing information) - my initial prp doc was using EDTA.

    Anticoagulants help you separate the red cells from the plasma and help attain more platelets.

    How's it going so far for you?

    Have you guys not read all the treads about people actually shedding tons of hair from PRP and never get it back? Seriously the waste of time here is epic.
