What Is PRP Treatment?
PRP, known as platelet-rich plasma, is a treatment that uses growth factors for hair loss. These growth factors are derived from the patient’s own blood. Platelets are blood cells responsible for blood clotting and also contain various growth factors. These growth factors signal the body to generate specific tissues like blood vessels and skin.
How Does PRP Work For Hair Loss?
PRP is basically a 3-step process where initially your blood is drawn, then centrifuged, and then injected into the affected area. In PRP, the patient’s own blood is taken and centrifuged into separate layers, including red blood cells, plasma, and a buffy coat layer where platelets are concentrated.
This layer is separated from others, along with a small quantity of plasma, and is termed platelet-rich plasma, where growth factors are found. The normal platelet level is 150 to 450 per mcl, and so some PRP samples will have a higher concentration of growth factors than others. PRP is injected superficially into the skin of the scalp in the areas of hair loss to produce thicker, darker, and healthier hair growth.
Who Should Get PRP Treatment?
You should get PRP treatment if you have:
Hair thinning
Hairfall
Rough, weak, or brittle hair
Receding hairline
Pattern baldness

What To Expect?
Before procedure: The dermatologist will examine your scalp, take your medical history, and explain the procedure to you.
During procedure: Blood will be drawn, and the patient will be moved to the treatment room. A topical anaesthetic may be used if required. The blood sample will be centrifuged and transferred to the test tubes or separation containers.
After centrifugation, there will be 3 products, which are packed red blood cells, platelet-poor plasma, and platelet-rich plasma. The platelet level will be concentrated 2-6 times higher than the starting level.
Generally, at least 6 mL of PRP will be injected into the scalp. Some clinics might also use porcine-based extracellular matrix. PRP is injected in small quantities into the scalp.
After procedure: You might require multiple sessions for effective hair growth. The common program involves 1 treatment session each month for 3 months, followed by a booster session every 6 months. Your dermatologist will discuss the best treatment program for you depending on your scalp health. The patient will avoid anti-inflammatory up to 14 days after the procedure, as it can interfere with the results of PRP. Your dermatologist might recommend you to:
Not wash hair for 12-24 hours.
Avoid sauna/steam for 2 days.
Avoid vigorous workout for 24 hours.
No alcohol consumption for 24 hours.
Use gentle, non-irritating scalp products.
