What is Platelet Rich Plasma?


PRP is a high concentration of platelets surrounded in its own plasma. A small amount of blood is drawn and the red cells are isolated from the platelet-rich plasma. Since the autologous Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) is processed from the patient’s own blood, there is no risk of an allergic reaction or rejection.

At METALAB, we specialize in advanced PRP treatments designed to support healthier, fuller-looking hair. Our focus is precision, quality, and results driven by science—not shortcuts. That is why we exclusively use the Arthrex Angel® PRP system, an industry-leading platform that allows us to prepare high-concentration PRP and Growth Factor Concentrate (GFC) tailored specifically for hair restoration.

Advanced PRP for Hair Restoration

Powered by the Arthrex Angel® PRP System

 
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) is created from your own blood and contains a concentrated supply of platelets and natural growth factors. When PRP is injected into the scalp, these growth factors help:

  • Stimulate dormant or weakened hair follicles

  • Support blood flow and nutrient delivery to the scalp

  • Prolong the growth (anagen) phase of the hair cycle

  • Improve hair thickness and density over time

PRP does not create new hair follicles. Instead, it works by supporting existing follicles that have become thin, weak, or inactive—helping them function more effectively.

Each client meets with an Injector Practitioner to discuss your options and to assess suitability.

Why we use the Arthrex Angel® System 

Not all PRP treatments deliver the same results.

 

Many standard PRP centrifuges produce lower-strength formulations with limited platelet concentration. These treatments may offer short-term cosmetic improvement but often fail to deliver lasting change.

The Arthrex Angel system allows us to:

  • Create higher platelet concentrations

  • Reduce unwanted red blood cells

  • Customize the formulation for scalp treatments

  • Deliver a cleaner, more targeted PRP injection

This level of control helps us provide a more potent and consistent treatment, designed to support long-term hair health rather than temporary improvement.

What Makes METALAB’s PRP Different
 

At METALAB, PRP is not a generic service. Every treatment is:

  • Prepared on-site using medical-grade technology

  • Customized for hair loss patterns and goals

  • Delivered with precise injection techniques

  • Part of a structured treatment plan, not a one-off procedure

Our Angel PRP + Growth Factor Concentrate approach is designed to optimize the biological signals that support hair growth.

HAIR BENEFITS OF PRP

  •  Increases the thickness of hair

  • Minimize hair loss

  • Stimulates and maintains the hair growth phase

  • Normalizes the hair growth cycle

  • Increases blood supply and thus, nutrients to the hair follicles
