I have tried this about 8 times now. At first it was total failure since I had no clue what I was doing. I wanted to try the P-long protocol and researched it and they do a double spin PRP .injection 1x per month for 6 months with pumping 15min morning at night and taking Affirm supplement. I watched many videos and started to get the hang of PRP but I kept having problems with the needles. They kept bending. I was using the small size recommended on many internet and youtube sites. I then came across Andy’s thread and he has been doing PRF and has been doing it longer them me and I have learned about the needle sizes and his PRF technique.
My experience with PRP- I have ACD tubes I fill 6 of them and I do a double spin PRP. I spin 6 tubes first spin then I take out the PRP/PPP to the buffy coat which is the white blood cell layer right above the transition to the red blood layer. I extract and fill 4-tubes. Then I spin it again. This time I remove the top PPP. Then I have PRP about 1.5ml per tube. I then take this 6ml and activate it with a 10% solution of calcium chloride. .Then I inject. I have injected two on each side of the shaft. One on each side of the glans. Like I said out of 8-times I have had a many miss fires partially successful. My results were mixed my shaft seems like It got thicker but I did not measure when I started. My glands doubled in size but unfortunately it was temporary.
Let me talk about the last month I had 2- 100% successful PRP one with activation and one without. These are the ones I could really talk about since my technique got better. The one with activation I didn’t notice any results in sensitivity, color or EQ. The one without activation was amazing I got a little color back and a lot of sensitivity and feeling. Better EQ it was almost immediate. Less than 24hrs. I am thinking that PRP does not need activation. Once injected it mixes with your existing blood and then within 15/20min it must have started to clot which is maybe why it worked without the activation. I will definitely try this one again.
The last 2-times I have attempted PRF. I spin at 4800 for 10min. I get great separation of the layers. But you have to be fast at harvest and injection since their is no ACD the clotting happens quickly. The first time was not successful for me I extracted to much PRF mixed with PPP. This diluted the concentration of PRF I had no results from it but I learned from the experience.
My 2nd time PRF this time I performed it on Sunday I made 1-mistake trying to remove the red blood cells first on 1-tube. Overall was still able to harvest 2ml of PRF from 5-tubes. I injected it on Sunday. Today is Monday and I did feel a little increased sensitivity already. I am pumping 15min in the morning and 15 at night. I was thinking about adding some traction and hanging but I haven’t done that yet.
I was thinking if this works well I will alternate one week PRP the next PRF and see what happens. I don’t know if it is to much. By more and more experience you get better and better at it. Yesterday was no problem filled the tubes up in no time and right into the centrifuge. As you keep doing it you learn little things that make your experience more successful. Example tape the butterfly. Without tape when you switch tubes you are looking at the tube and not the buttery fly and then the butterfly slides out. These little things that you learn make your technique more and more successful. I am able to do this very quick now within 20min I am done.
