Hair loss is a common problem faced by many people and can be caused by a range of factors. However, it doesn’t always mean that those suffering from hair loss cannot solve their issues. PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) therapy is a revolutionary treatment that has been found to be an effective solution for androgenetic alopecia and other types of hair loss. With this treatment, you can restore healthy, thick, and shiny-looking locks.
Hair loss can be caused by a number of different factors. Aging, heredity, hormonal changes, pregnancy, and scalp infections are some of the most common causes. Androgenetic alopecia, also known as hereditary alopecia, is an inherited type of hair loss that can occur randomly in both men and women. Hormonal imbalances in women due to issues like PCOS (Polycystic ovary syndrome), PCOD (Polycystic Oary Disorder) or thyroid issues may also contribute to excessive hair fall.
Women undergoing drastic physical changes during pregnancy often experience significant amounts of hair loss. Similarly, bacterial or fungal infections on the scalp can cause severe damage to the follicles leading to thinning and baldness. Certain medications can also lead to hair loss, with cancer drugs, oral contraception, and those prescribed for high blood pressure, heart problems, depression or arthritis being known culprits.
PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) is derived from a patient’s blood and consists of a high concentration of platelets. The creation process involves extracting the PRP through centrifugation, which requires only a small amount of plasma.
PRP therapy is one of the most effective hair loss treatments due to its ability to stimulate collagen production and natural healing power. It works by using the patient’s own blood platelets to promote hair regrowth, earning the nickname ‘liquid gold’. PRP has no invasive side effects and is an ideal choice for anyone looking to tackle hair loss in a less risky way.
Overall, PRP is a safe and effective method of treating hair loss, providing long-term results with minimal risks involved. It has the potential to be the perfect solution for anyone looking to restore their confidence by restoring their hair.
Individuals who are overall healthy and experience thinning hair or balding may be suitable candidates for PRP Therapy. Those who are self-conscious about their receding hairline and desire to restore their hair growth can take advantage of this treatment. PRP is particularly effective for treating hair loss/alopecia that commonly occurs on the top of the head.

The PRP process involves three steps:
Typically, the entire process takes around an hour, and usually 3-4 sessions may be required to achieve optimal results.
The recovery period after a PRP session is typically minimal. Patients may experience some redness, swelling, and mild discomfort at the injection site immediately after the treatment, but these side effects usually resolve within a few hours to a day. Patients are advised to avoid touching or scratching the treated area for at least 24 hours after the treatment.
Most patients are able to resume their normal daily activities immediately after the PRP therapy session. However, it is recommended to avoid strenuous exercise or activities that may cause excessive sweating for at least 24 hours post-treatment. Patients should also avoid sun exposure and wear sunscreen if they must be outside.
The cost of PRP therapy is based on a variety of factors, including the area where treatment will be performed, the number of treatments necessary for desired results, and other associated costs such as medications and equipment. The experience level of the doctor performing the procedure can also play a role in determining the total price. Dr. Hitesh Laad will discuss all the specifics with you during your consultation.
