PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) therapy is one of the most effective non-surgical treatments for hair loss. ## What is PRP? PRP is derived from your own blood. A small sample is taken and spun in a centrifuge to concentrate platelets and growth factors. This concentrated plasma is then injected into the scalp. ## How Does It Work? Growth factors in PRP: - Stimulate hair follicles - Improve blood supply to the scalp - Prolong the growth phase of hair - Increase hair thickness and density ## Who is a Good Candidate? - Early to moderate hair loss - Androgenetic alopecia (male/female pattern) - Post-partum hair fall (after pregnancy) - Telogen effluvium (stress-related) - Not for completely bald areas ## The Procedure 1. Blood sample collected (10-20 ml) 2. Centrifuged to separate PRP 3. Scalp cleaned and numbed 4. PRP injected into the scalp 5. Takes about 30-45 minutes ## Number of Sessions - Typically 4-6 sessions - Spaced 4-6 weeks apart - Maintenance every 6-12 months ## Results Timeline - **1 month** — Reduced hair fall - **3 months** — Visible improvement - **6 months** — Best results - **12 months** — Maintenance needed ## Aftercare - Avoid washing hair for 24 hours - No hair products for 48 hours - Avoid sun exposure - No gym/swimming for 24-48 hours - Sleep with head elevated ## Side Effects - Mild tenderness at injection site - Temporary redness - Headache (rare) - No serious side effects ## Is PRP Better Than Hair Transplant? They serve different purposes: - **PRP** — Preserves existing hair, thickens thin hair - **Transplant** — Restores hair in bald areas Many patients benefit from both.
