Prp Therapy For Hair Loss
PRP Therapy for Hair Loss: The Natural Way to Regrow Your Hair
If you have been struggling with hair thinning, excessive hair fall, or early-stage baldness, you may have come across the term PRP Therapy. It is one of the most talked-about non-surgical treatments for hair loss today — and for good reason. At Nova Clinic, Chandigarh/Mohali, we offer advanced PRP therapy that uses your own body's healing power to stimulate natural hair regrowth.
What Is PRP Therapy?
PRP stands for Platelet-Rich Plasma. It is a treatment in which a small amount of your own blood is drawn, processed in a centrifuge machine to concentrate the growth-factor-rich platelets, and then injected directly into the scalp in areas affected by hair loss.
These platelets contain powerful growth factors that:
- Stimulate dormant hair follicles
- Increase blood supply to the scalp
- Strengthen existing hair roots
- Promote new hair growth naturally
Since PRP uses your own blood, it is completely safe with zero risk of allergic reactions or rejection.
How Does PRP Work for Hair Loss?
Hair loss often occurs when hair follicles become weak, shrink, or enter a prolonged resting phase. PRP therapy wakes these follicles up by delivering concentrated growth factors directly to the root level.
Think of it as "fertiliser for your hair roots" — it does not create new follicles, but it reactivates the ones that are still alive and capable of producing hair.
Who Is PRP Therapy Best For?
PRP therapy is most effective for:
- Early to mid-stage hair loss (Norwood Scale 1–4 for men)
- Androgenic alopecia (male and female pattern baldness)
- Alopecia areata (patchy hair loss)
- Post-pregnancy hair loss in women
- Thinning hair with visible scalp
- Patients who want to avoid surgery or complement a hair transplant
PRP is NOT recommended for patients with advanced baldness where follicles are completely dead. In such cases, a hair transplant may be the better option.
The PRP Procedure: Step by Step
Step 1 — Blood Draw A small amount of blood (about 20–30 ml) is drawn from your arm, similar to a routine blood test.
Step 2 — Centrifuge Processing The blood is placed in a centrifuge machine that spins at high speed to separate the platelet-rich plasma from the rest of the blood components.
Step 3 — Activation The concentrated PRP is activated to release the growth factors.
Step 4 — Scalp Injection Using a fine needle, the PRP is injected into the targeted areas of the scalp. A numbing cream is applied beforehand to minimize discomfort.
The entire session takes approximately 45 to 60 minutes.
How Many Sessions Are Required?
| Phase | Sessions | Frequency |
|---|---|---|
| Initial Treatment | 3–4 sessions | Once every 4 weeks |
| Maintenance | 1–2 sessions | Every 4–6 months |
Most patients start to notice reduced hair fall within the first 2 sessions, and visible new growth by the 3rd or 4th session.
PRP vs Hair Transplant — Which One Is Right for You?
| PRP Therapy | Hair Transplant | |
|---|---|---|
| Suitable for | Early–mid hair loss | Moderate–advanced baldness |
| Invasiveness | Non-surgical (injections) | Surgical |
| Downtime | None | 5–10 days |
| Results | Gradual (3–6 months) | Visible in 8–12 months |
| Permanence | Maintenance required | Permanent |
| Best use | Prevent further loss / thicken hair | Restore lost hair |
Many patients at Nova Clinic choose both — PRP to strengthen existing hair and a hair transplant to restore areas of complete baldness.
