ROI analysis: Is the investment in PRP worthwhile for your practice?

Just imagine: Your patients leave your practice with a radiant smile, revitalized skin or thicker hair - and your cash register is ringing. Sounds tempting?

That's exactly what PRP therapy (platelet-rich plasma) promises, an innovative treatment that is making waves in the medical world. But before you plunge into the world of regenerative medicine, the question is: is it really worth investing in PRP for your practice?

In this blog post, we take a deep dive into an exciting cost-benefit analysis, highlight specific calculation examples and show how PRP can take your practice to the next level - financially and patient-oriented.

Revenue potential: What you can demand

PRP is an individual health service (IGeL). This means: free pricing within the scope of medical appropriateness.

  • Face (anti-ageing) 250 € - 450 €
  • Hair loss 300 € - 500 €
  • Joint treatment 200 € - 400 €
  • Intimate PRP 350 € - 600 €

Contribution margin per session:

350 € - 40 € (costs) = 310 € profit contribution

Break-even with only approx. 7 treatments if you use the PRP Power Kit Pro start!

PRP revenue potential

What is PRP and why do patients love it?

PRP stands for platelet-rich plasma, a substance that is extracted from the patient's blood. Centrifugation is used to isolate the plasma with a high concentration of platelets and growth factors, which accelerate healing processes and regenerate tissue. This minimally invasive method has become established in numerous medical fields:

  • Aesthetic medicine: skin rejuvenation ("vampire lifting") and treatment of hair loss.
  • Orthopaedics: relief of joint pain, tendon injuries and osteoarthritis.
  • Dentistry: support for bone augmentation and implants.
  • Sports medicine: treatment of muscle and ligament injuries.
  • Wound healing: promoting the healing of chronic wounds.

The attractiveness of PRP lies in its naturalness: as it consists of the body's own material, the risk of side effects is low, which patients appreciate. At the same time, your practice positions itself as a pioneer in regenerative medicine - a real competitive advantage.

Cost-benefit analysis: Let the numbers speak for themselves

To assess whether PRP is worthwhile for your practice, we take a look at the costs, income and return on investment (ROI). We focus on a specific example - the treatment of hair loss - and show how the investment pays off.

Initial investment

Getting started with PRP therapy requires a centrifuge and consumables. The PRP Power Kit Pro is an ideal starter set for € 2,047.67 (incl. VAT). It contains:

The centrifuge is a one-off purchase, while consumables such as PRP tubes need to be purchased regularly. The Vi PRP-PRO PRP tubes cost €131.00 per pack (10 pieces), i.e. €13.10 per tube incl. VAT plus shipping.

Ongoing costs

For the treatment of hair loss, we assume that two PRP tubes are used per session, as 20-30 ml of blood is often required to obtain sufficient plasma for the scalp. The costs per treatment are as follows:

  • PRP tubes: 2 x 13,10 € = 26,20 €.
  • Staff time: Approx. 30 minutes per treatment, at an estimated hourly rate of €50 this results in €25 per session.
  • Other consumables: Needles and syringes cost approx. 5 € per treatment (estimated as they are supplied in large quantities).

Total cost per treatment: €26.20 + €25 + €5 = €56.20.

Pricing

Prices for PRP treatments in Germany vary depending on the region and application. For hair loss treatments, the cost per session is typically between €250 and €450, with an average of around €300. Some clinics offer package prices, e.g. 4 sessions for €1,200, which equates to €300 per session.

For our analysis, we assume a price of €300 per treatment, which is realistic and competitive.

ROI calculation: An example

Let's say your practice invests in the PRP Power Kit Pro for €2,047.67, which includes consumables for about 10 treatments (20 tubes, 2 per treatment). Let's look at the numbers:

First 10 treatments

Income: 10 treatments x €300 = €3,000.

Costs:

  • Initial investment: €2,047.67.
  • Staff time: 10 x €25 = €250.
  • Consumables: Included in the kit, therefore €0 extra.

Total costs: 2.047,67 € + 250 € = 2.297,67 €.

Profit: 3.000 € - 2.297,67 € = 702,33 €.

You will make a profit after the first 10 treatments and the initial investment is almost amortized.

Subsequent treatments

After the initial tubes have been used up, the above-mentioned costs are incurred per treatment:

  • Cost per treatment: € 56.20.
  • Income per treatment: € 300.
  • Profit per treatment: € 300 - € 56.20 = € 243.80.

To fully cover the initial investment, we calculate the break-even point:

  • Profit per treatment (first 10): €300 - €25 (staff time only) = €275.
  • Number of treatments for break-even: €2,047.67 ÷ €275 ≈ 7.45 treatments.

This means that the investment is amortized after about 8 treatments. Each additional treatment brings a profit of €243.80.

Long-term perspective

Let's assume your practice carries out 50 treatments in the first year:

First 10 treatments:

  • Costs: € 2,297.67 (as above).
  • Revenue: € 3,000.
  • Profit: € 702.33.

Next 40 treatments:

  • Costs: 40 x € 56.20 = € 2,248.
  • Income: 40 x 300 € = 12,000 €.
  • Profit: € 12,000 - € 2,248 = € 9,752.

Total:

  • Income: 50 x € 300 = € 15,000.
  • Costs: € 2,297.67 + € 2,248 = € 4,545.67.
  • Total profit: € 15,000 - € 4,545.67 = € 10,454.33.

These figures show that PRP offers high profitability, especially with regular demand.

The secret star: patient loyalty

Many PRP indications require several sessions - often 3-6 at intervals of a few weeks. And many patients come back every 6-12 months for refresher sessions.

Your advantage:

  • Predictable income
  • Long-term customer loyalty
  • Additional combination offers with microneedling or hyaluronic acid

Satisfied patients return and recommend your practice to others, which expands your customer base. By using high-quality products, such as the Vi PRP-PRO tubes, you ensure consistent results that increase patient confidence.

What you need to consider legally

✅ Only trained specialists may use PRP

✅ Document patient information & consent in writing

✅ No promises of salvation! Rather: "Promotes regeneration according to studies"

By using CE-certified products such as Vi PRP-PRO tubes, you are on the safe side.

PRP in other specialist areas

The above analysis focuses on hair loss, but PRP is versatile. In orthopaedics, for example, prices are often higher, between €500 and €1,000 per session, as the treatment is more complex and larger quantities of PRP are required (Primomedico). The cost of consumables could increase here (e.g. 3-4 tubes per treatment), but the higher prices compensate for this. A similar analysis could be performed for dentistry or aesthetic treatments, with prices and material costs varying depending on the application.

Conclusion: A worthwhile investment

Investing in PRP is not only financially attractive, but also positions your practice as modern and patient-oriented. With an initial investment of around €2,047.67 and high profit margins per treatment (approx. €243.80 after amortization), you can quickly become profitable. The ability to retain patients long-term and the growing demand for regenerative treatments make PRP a smart choice.
