Struggling with hair thinning, early baldness, or heavy hair fall? Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy is an autologous treatment designed to revitalize weakened hair follicles, reduce shedding, and promote thicker hair density.
Our clinic is in Akshayanagar, off Bannerghatta Road, and serves patients from Hulimavu, Begur, Arekere, BTM Layout and nearby South Bangalore localities.
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) therapy is a non-surgical medical treatment that uses your own blood to promote cellular repair and hair follicle stimulation. Platelets are cell fragments in your blood that contain a high concentration of growth factors (such as PDGF, VEGF, and EGF). When concentrated and micro-injected into thinning areas of the scalp, these growth factors nourish the roots, prolong the growth phase (anagen), and reverse hair thinning.
"Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy utilizes the patient's own growth factors to stimulate dormant follicles and reverse follicular miniaturization. It is highly effective for androgenetic alopecia when performed with precise preparation protocols."

The PRP Procedure Step-by-Step
At Dr. Pai Skin, Hair & Healthcare Clinic, our PRP procedures follow strict clinical guidelines to ensure maximum safety and comfort:
Step 1: Blood Collection. A small amount of blood (around 10-15 ml) is drawn from your arm, similar to a routine blood test.
Step 2: Centrifugation. The blood tube is placed in a high-speed centrifuge. This spins the blood to separate the red blood cells, platelet-poor plasma, and concentrated platelet-rich plasma.
Step 3: Preparation. The golden PRP layer, rich in bioactive growth factors, is carefully extracted.
Step 4: Micro-Injections. Using ultra-fine needles, the dermatologist injects the concentrated plasma into targeted areas of the scalp. A local numbing agent is used to maximize comfort.
Are You a Good Candidate for PRP Hair Treatment?
PRP therapy shows excellent results for patients with:
Androgenetic Alopecia (male or female pattern baldness) in early to moderate stages
Diffuse hair thinning or loss of hair volume
Telogen Effluvium (excessive hair shedding triggered by stress, illness, or post-pregnancy)
Weakened hair follicles that need support post-hair-transplant
Note: PRP is not effective for completely bald areas where hair follicles are no longer present. A clinical scalp assessment by Dr. Ravish Pai will confirm suitability.

Frequently Asked Questions About PRP Hair Treatment
What is PRP Hair Treatment and how does it work?
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) hair treatment is an autologous medical procedure where a small amount of the patient's blood is drawn, spun in a centrifuge to separate and concentrate the platelet-rich plasma, and then micro-injected into the scalp. Platelets contain abundant growth factors that stimulate inactive hair follicles and support thicker growth.
Is PRP Hair Treatment painful?
The treatment is generally well-tolerated. A topical numbing cream or local anesthetic can be applied to the scalp prior to the injections to minimize any discomfort. Patients describe the sensation as minor pinpricks.
How many sessions of PRP are required to see hair growth?
Most dermatologists recommend an initial course of 4 to 6 sessions, spaced approximately 4 weeks apart. Visible improvement in hair thickness and reduced hair fall is typically noticed after the 3rd or 4th session, followed by maintenance sessions every 4 to 6 months.
Are there any side effects of PRP therapy for hair?
Since PRP utilizes your own blood, the risk of allergic reaction or rejection is virtually zero. Mild redness, swelling, or soreness at the injection sites can occur but typically resolves within 24 to 48 hours.
Who is an ideal candidate for PRP hair treatment?
PRP is ideal for individuals experiencing early stages of hair thinning, androgenetic alopecia (pattern baldness), or telogen effluvium (temporary shedding). It is most effective when hair follicles are still active and thinning, rather than in areas of complete baldness.
