Overview:

PRP has been a hot topic in the beauty industry in recent years—the very issue that fascinates women who care about their appearance. So, what exactly is PRP? Simply put, it’s a tiny fraction of your own blood that’s extracted after being separated from venous blood using a centrifuge. This fraction contains growth factors that can activate and regenerate human cells, delivering cosmetic effects. It’s also known as platelet-rich plasma.

It’s crucial to choose the right centrifuge tubes. Most small beauty clinics in China typically use vacuum blood collection tubes, which are low-cost but deliver poor results. The so-called PRP and serum—also known as PPP—are indistinguishable to the average person. If you truly want to prepare PRP, it’s best to use specialized tubes. Although this will increase costs, conducting business with integrity is essential. Currently, one of the better-quality specialized tubes available on the market is the BD tube from the U.S., shown in Figure 1 below.

This tube contains a separation gel. The yellow portion in the tube, as well as the transparent bottom section of the reagent tube—after blood is separated in this tube—it clearly divides into four distinct layers: at the bottom is the dark-colored cellular component, followed by the separation gel, then the platelet-rich plasma (PRP), and finally the platelet-poor plasma (PPP). The fraction obtained in this way is precisely the part that needs to be injected.

Figure 2 below shows the current pipes in South Korea.

The middle section of this tube features a slender neck—a cleverly designed detail that ensures, once separated, the PRP fraction ends up precisely at the smallest aperture, making it easy to observe and extract. The tube shown in the figure below is a Korean-made tube.

PRP is increasingly popular among beauty enthusiasts in the cosmetics industry. We encourage all beauty-conscious women to learn more about this topic and spread awareness. Just a quick note: the Shanghai Luxiangyi centrifuge does not sell tubes—it only sells cosmetic PRP centrifuges.

The safety of centrifuges during operation has become the primary requirement for equipment selection.
