What is PRP Therapy for Hair?

PRP therapy for hair is a natural approach that taps into your body's healing power. It starts by taking a small amount of your blood. From this blood, Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) is extracted, which is then carefully injected into your scalp. This rich plasma helps stimulate hair follicles, promoting natural hair growth. It's like giving your hair a boost using your body's revitalising elements.

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy requires drawing the patient’s blood. Basically, red and white blood cells are isolated from plasma and platelets to use the growth factors found in the latter. This is accomplished by placing the blood in a closed system and using centrifugation to break up the components. Plasma containing a larger concentration of platelets is then injected into the scalp in a quick and painless procedure to stimulate hair growth.

Essentially, when a person experiences a cut or injury, platelets gather at the site of the wound to kickstart the healing process.

To properly comprehend PRP and how it works, we must first understand the role of platelets in our body’s defences. Platelets, like red and white blood cells, make up blood. When a person sustains a cut or wound, platelets cluster together and travel to the source of the bleeding to initiate the healing process. After extensive investigation, it has been determined that taking concentrated platelets and injecting them into injured body parts can speed up healing.

As a result, PRP contains a variety of growth factors that promote tissue repair. Since a few types of hair loss are caused by injury to hair follicles, researchers initially thought that PRP could help regenerate hair by reversing the process that causes androgenetic alopecia. Since then, PRP has proven to be a highly efficient means of encouraging hair growth. PRP injections into the scalp for alopecia treatment can enhance hair quality and thickness.

How PRP Works?

PRP treatment for hair loss is a four-step medical procedure that involves drawing, separating, processing, and injecting a patient’s blood into their scalp. Here’s a detailed guide on how the process works:

Harvest

A small amount of blood is taken

Separate

PRP is seprated from the blood

Activate

PRP is activated

Inject

PRP is injected into the scalp

At DHI, strict protocols are followed to ensure highest quality of results each time. Special attention is given to ensure that the centrifugation of blood is done under a temperature controlled environment.

The quantity of blood extracted, the centrifugation speed, anti-coagulant used, etc, all play an important role in multiplying the plasma to 5x, which is the highest in the industry. This highly concentrated platelet rich plasma (PRP) is thereafter injected into the scalp which promotes hair growth and arrests hair fall.

Benefits of PRP Hair Treatment

The concentrated growth factors in PRP stimulate the hair follicles and dermal papilla cells. This can strengthen and revive dormant follicles to grow new, thicker hair. PRP may also improve blood flow to the follicles and promote a healthier scalp environment for regrowing hair. Some other benefits of PRP hair treatment are:

Long-lasting results: PRP therapy promotes the formation of new hair follicles by boosting blood flow and providing vital growth elements to the scalp. The new hair growth is normal and can continue for several years if properly maintained.

Natural Looking results: Instead of transplanting hair from one part of the scalp to another, PRP stimulates your hair to regrow where it has thinned or receded. This creates very natural-looking results.

Improved Hair Health PRP therapy increases hair growth while enhancing the general health of existing hair. This results in thicker, fuller, and healthier-looking hair.

Natural Treatment: Since PRP uses your blood plasma, it avoids chemicals or medications and stimulates your body’s healing mechanisms. Also, numerous studies have shown PRP injections to be very safe, with infrequent side effects.

No Downtime: The treatment itself requires no recovery time. You can return to normal activities right after injections. This makes it convenient to get done during a lunch break or without taking time off.

PRP Hair Treatment Side Effects

You should be aware that receiving PRP injections may result in specific unfavourable side effects. Some of the most common side effects of PRP hair treatment include:

Nausea
Dizziness
Irritation during the healing process
Scalp pain
Damage to blood vessels
Injury to nerves

While most of these symptoms are not dangerous, you should see your dermatologist if they persist or worsen.

Cost of PRP Treatment in India

The cost of PRP hair treatment varies based on the clinic or salon you attend, but on average, it is between Rs 4,500 and Rs 15,000 per session. However, the price range is just tenatitve, the actual price may go up based on several factors.

Factors Affecting PRP Treatment Cost

Number of Treatments: Typically, 3-6 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart are recommended for best results.

Overhead Costs: Office location, staff, specialised equipment, etc., contribute to providers’ operational expenses that influence pricing.

Practitioner Expertise & Experience: More seasoned practitioners tend to charge higher fees, reflecting years of perfecting their injection techniques.

Platelet Concentration Methods: Using advanced centrifuge equipment and procedures to yield higher platelet concentrations costs more but enhances effectiveness.

Session Length: Sessions involving more injections across larger areas of the scalp understandably require more materials and time - and, therefore, higher fees.

PRP hair Treatment vs Other Methods

Here is a quick comparison of PRP hair treatment with other hair therapy methods:

Treatment	Method	Side Effects	Effectiveness	Cost
PRP	Injecting own plasma with growth factors into scalp	Minimal	Moderate, increases over time	Moderate upfront costs, more treatments needed
Minoxidil	Topical medication applied on the scalp daily	Skin irritation in some	Low to moderate	Lower upfront costs but ongoing purchases
Finasteride	Oral prescription medication daily	Sexual dysfunction, etc.	High, if combined with minoxidil	Low upfront costs
Hair Transplant	Surgically redistributing follicles	Mild pain, swelling initially	Very high, if enough follicles transplanted	Very expensive upfront

PRP Hair Treatment Results

PRP is an effective non-surgical treatment for people suffering from hair loss. It is especially helpful in early stages of alopecia. Plasma injected into the scalp contains essential growth factors, which makes hair strong and healthy. Three sessions of PRP treatment performed in 6-8 weeks are ideal for quality results.

Why is PRP Preferred Over Surgical Treatments?

While surgical hair restoration options like Direct Hair Implantation serve as the only permanent solutions to patterned hair loss, PRP treatment is still widely preferred over them by a lot of people, especially for treating the early stages of hair loss.

Here's why PRP can prove to be more beneficial than other methods:

Less Invasive: PRP Hair Treatments are less invasive than surgical hair restoration alternatives like hair transplants because they do not require any incisions or sutures. They are typically performed on an outpatient basis and have little to no downtime or recovery time. However, methods like DHI have made surgical hair restoration techniques less invasive. So, large-scale hair loss problems should be treated accordingly.

Minimal to No Scarring: Typically, a PRP hair treatment will leave no visible scarring as there are no incisions or stitches involved. This will mean faster recovery times as your body won't have to do any healing.

No Complications: All kinds of cosmetic procedures that involve surgery come with the risk of side effects and postoperative complications. But non-surgical treatments like PRP eliminate the risk of such complications.

More Affordable: The PRP hair treatment, facilitated by Direct Hair Implantation, is highly affordable compared to other forms of hair restoration treatments. Thus, it's the most accessible choice for the masses.

Effective for Early-Stage Hair Loss: Most of the people dealing with hair loss problems are currently in the early stages of an underlying condition. Treatments like PRP are the most effective for treating early-stage hair fall problems. They may be able to slow down or even reverse the hair loss process in such cases.

Safety Protocols for PRP Hair Treatments

Generally, a PRP hair treatment is considered to be completely safe when it is performed by a qualified and experienced professional. However, there are some associated risks, as is the case with all kinds of medical procedures.

To avoid such complications, it's better to follow these safety protocols:

Proper Sterilization of Equipment and Materials: The clinicians should ensure that all the equipment and materials that are to be used during the procedure are completely sterilised to prevent the risk of spreading infection.

Use of Aseptic Techniques: Aseptic techniques should be followed by the healthcare professional to minimise contamination.

High-Quality PRP Kits: Purity and effectiveness of the PRP hair treatment should be guaranteed by using high-quality and clean PRP kits

Proper Injection Technique: The medical expert performing the treatment should be well-equipped to follow proper injection techniques. This is mandatory for reducing the risk of injury and ensuring that the PRP is injected precisely in the affected region.

Side Effects Monitoring: Side effects should be monitored by the doctor during regular check-ups. These side effects including symptoms like pain, swelling, or infection.

Patient Selection: Lastly, before starting the PRP hair treatment, doctors should ensure that the treatment is suitable for all patients. Only a qualified medical professional can evaluate the patient’s medical history to determine if the PRP procedure would be safe and appropriate for them.

At Direct Hair Implantation (DHI), we believe in guaranteeing the satisfaction and safety of our customers. As such, we employ only the most qualified and educated medical experts to carry out these procedures safely.

Our clinicians also ensure that they follow all the safety standards, going above and beyond while preparing for the treatment of their patients.
