They typically take 3 units of platelets during an apheresis session.  It would take 5 whole blood donations to add up to one unit of platelets so the answer is no.


I donated whole blood 30 times and never saw any improvement in my skin until I started doing triple platelet donations.  The only downside is that it takes two hours, but you can usually go in on Sunday and take your computer/tablet/phone and just chill.
