Query regarding PRP therapy
My dermatologist has asked me to undergo PRP procedure but I'm scared as it's somewhat connected to my brain. As the injections will be injected on my scalp and what if my nerve in brain get damages and it harms my brain? What if the injection gets injected at some wrong point where it shouldn't be injected? Is PRP safe? Please explain the whole procedure?

Brain is under the bone. You can feel the bone if you touch the scalp.

Madam.
PRP procedure is a minor procedure wherein your blood is drawn and centrifudged to extract the platelet rich plasma which is the injected on the scalp (sometimes even the face) depending on the indication.
This is an outpatient procedure wherein after a fixed time (up to 2 hours) you can simply go back to work as it has minimal to no downtime. The injections given are just skin deep and it won't even touch the skull, leave alone drilling the bone and reaching the brain.
It is one of the most common and initial procedures done for hair fall (telogen effluvium or pattern baldness).
