Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a concentrated form of plasma that contains a higher concentration of platelets compared to normal blood. Recently, PRP has gained popularity not only in orthopedic surgeries but also in treating hair loss. At EverGlo Aesthetic Clinic in Chennai, we offer PRP hair restoration treatment to help those experiencing hair thinning or loss.

PRP is rich in growth factors that enhance healing and stimulate the body’s natural processes. These growth factors encourage the regeneration of tissue and the formation of new blood vessels (neovascularization). In hair restoration, PRP is effective for both preventing hair loss and enhancing recovery following hair transplant procedures.

How PRP Works

The PRP treatment involves drawing a small amount of your blood (typically 30-40 cc), which is then processed using a centrifuge to isolate the platelet-rich plasma. This concentrated plasma is injected into the scalp in the areas experiencing hair loss, promoting hair regrowth and improving the thickness of existing hair.

Benefits of PRP Hair Restoration

  • Decreases Hair Loss: PRP effectively controls hair fall by stimulating the hair follicle roots.
  • Increases Blood Supply: Enhanced blood flow to hair follicles promotes healthier growth.
  • Improves Hair Thickness: The treatment increases the diameter of hair shafts, resulting in thicker hair.
  • Accelerates Hair Regrowth: PRP accelerates the healing process after hair transplants and stimulates new hair growth.
  • Synergistic Effects: Works well alongside other hair restoration treatments and medications.

The PRP Treatment Process

PRP therapy involves three key steps:

  1. Extraction of Blood: A small volume of blood is drawn from your arm. The blood is then processed in a centrifuge to separate the plasma from the red blood cells.
  2. Concentration of Plasma: The centrifugation process is conducted in two phases:
    • Low-speed Centrifugation: This initial spin separates the blood into three layers: platelet-poor plasma, platelet-rich plasma, and red blood cells.
    • High-speed Centrifugation: A second spin concentrates the platelets up to five times their normal level, ensuring effective results.
  3. Injection of PRP: The final concentrated plasma is injected into targeted areas of the scalp using a syringe. Before injection, we use an AutoAnalyzer to check the concentration of platelets, ensuring you receive the most effective treatment.

How Often is PRP Needed?

For optimal results, PRP therapy typically requires three sessions spaced 6-8 weeks apart, with maintenance treatments every 4-6 months. While PRP is a powerful tool for managing hair loss, it is not a substitute for hair transplant surgery, especially for those with advanced stages of baldness.

Who is a Good Candidate for PRP?

PRP therapy is particularly effective for individuals experiencing early-stage hair loss (Norwood grade I or II) and those seeking to improve healing and hair regrowth after a hair transplant. If you are noticing signs of hair thinning or loss, we recommend scheduling a consultation to determine if PRP is suitable for you.

Cost of PRP Treatment

At EverGlo Aesthetic Clinic, the cost of PRP sessions ranges from ₹10,000 to ₹12,000 per treatment. Given that PRP treatment is significantly more affordable in India compared to other countries, it provides an accessible option for those seeking effective hair restoration.

Risks and Side Effects

PRP is generally safe, but some individuals may experience irritation or discomfort at the injection site. It is crucial to consult with our specialists to ensure you are a suitable candidate, especially if you are on blood thinners, are a heavy smoker, or have a history of alcoholism.
