PRP therapy for hair
PRP (platelet-rich plasma) is prepared from a small sample of your own blood and applied to the scalp. It can help strengthen weak roots and reduce hair fall, especially when started early.
How it works
About 20 ml of blood is drawn from your arm and spun in a centrifuge to concentrate the platelets in a small amount of plasma. Platelets release growth factors that support the cells at the base of each hair.
The plasma is placed into the thinning areas of the scalp with fine needles or a microneedling device, after the scalp is numbed or cooled. It works best on roots that are weak but still alive, which is why starting early matters.

Scalp treatment
PRP is applied to the thinning areas. Takes about 45 minutes.
Results and how long they last
Hair fall usually slows after 2 to 3 sessions, and thicker, stronger hair shows at 3 to 6 months. PRP slows thinning and improves density; it does not regrow hair on areas that have been fully bald for years. Maintenance sessions every 4 to 6 months help keep the result.
What affects the cost
The cost depends on the number of sessions and whether PRP is combined with other scalp treatments.

Questions people ask
When will I see results?
Usually after 2 to 3 sessions, as hair fall slows and new hair grows.
Is PRP for hair painful?
With numbing or cooling, most people feel only pressure and pricks. The scalp may feel tender for a day.
Does PRP work for women?
Yes. It is often used for thinning along the parting in women, alongside treatment of any deficiency or hormone issue.
PRP or hair transplant?
PRP helps thinning hair that is still present. A transplant moves hair to areas that are already bald. Many people try PRP first.
