Same blood. Different tube.
PRP begins as an ordinary blood draw. What happens inside the tube is what separates a usable platelet layer from a mixed one.
After spinning, blood settles into three layers: platelet-poor plasma at the top, the platelet-rich layer in the middle, red blood cells at the bottom. The middle layer is the entire point of the treatment.
In a plain tube, that layer sits directly against the red cells and has to be drawn off by eye. In a separator tube, a screw plunger raises the red cell column and levels the platelet layer at a fixed point — so the same fraction is collected each time, rather than judged by hand.
What that changes:
— Fewer red blood cells carried into the volume that reaches the scalp
— A draw that repeats consistently from session to session
— One sealed, single-use, CE-marked device per patient
This is the kind of detail that rarely gets shown, because it sits inside the procedure rather than in the photographs. We think it's worth showing — it's part of what doing the work properly actually costs.
At FUEHUB, platelet-rich plasma is used where it is clinically indicated as part of a wider hair restoration plan, not as a standalone promise. Recommendations and treatment response vary from patient to patient.
