1. Consultation
The first step in PRP hair treatment is a consultation with our PRP hair expert in Vile Parle. Since hair loss can have multiple causes, it is important to determine the root cause before starting treatment. Our experts will assess your scalp health, hair density, and medical history to help you customise the best treatment plan.
2. Pre-Procedure
Before the procedure, preparation is required to get the best out of PRP therapy. Patients are advised to:
- Avoid blood thinning medications like aspirin or certain supplements a few days before treatment, as these can affect platelet concentration.
- Eat a balanced diet and stay hydrated to promote healthy blood circulation and platelet quality.
- Wash your hair thoroughly on the day of the procedure, as the scalp should be clean and free of any styling products.
- Avoid alcohol and smoking at least 24-48 hours before treatment, as these can affect the results.
3.Procedure
The PRP hair treatment is a quick and non-invasive procedure that follows these steps:
- Blood Collection: A small amount of blood is drawn from the patient’s arm like a routine blood test.
- PRP Preparation: The collected blood is then placed in a centrifuge machine spinning at high speed to separate platelet-rich plasma from other components.
- Scalp injection: The concentrated PRP is injected into specific areas of the scalp where thinning or loss of hair is present. These injections stimulate dormant hair follicles, improve blood circulation and promote hair regrowth.
In some cases, the scalp is stimulated using microneedling, enhancing PRP absorption and boosting follicle activation.
4. AfterCare
After PRP hair treatment, don’t forget to follow proper aftercare to get the best results and scalp health. You should:
- Not wash your hair for at least 24 hours after the procedure so that PRP can absorb well.
- Avoid using harsh shampoos, chemical treatments or hair styling products for a few days.
- Don’t expose yourself to direct sun and intense workouts or sauna for 48 hours to avoid irritation.
- Follow the treatment schedule; multiple PRP sessions are required for visible and long-lasting hair growth.
