The Platelet-Rich Plasma injection (PRP) therapy potentially reverses hair loss and stimulates new hair growth. The therapy uses your blood platelets to promote healing and reinvigorate hair growth in areas that have thinned or fallen out.
The Platelet-rich Plasma treatment is a non-complicated, minimally invasive procedure that uses your blood platelets to induce hair growth. The entire process takes less than thirty minutes. Hence, the risk of infection and allergies is almost nil.
The procedure, when executed in conjunction with hair transplantation, will result in better growth and a shorter recovery period since PRP accelerates the healing process. Post-procedure, you will see a drastic reduction in hair fall and better hair growth.
At AKJ Skin and Laser Centre, we offer the best and most advanced treatments under the guidance of Dr Selvam and Dr Nirmala, who have more than twenty years of expertise in dermatology. Our clinic in Vannarpettai, Tirunelveli, is well-known for various skin treatments, including PRP for hair loss.
During PRP therapy, the mesenchymal stem cells in the body are harvested by drawing blood from the patient. Here's what you can expect from PRP therapy for hair at AKJ Clinic in Vannarpettai, Tirunelveli:
Step 1
About thirty to forty minutes beforehand, a small amount of blood is taken with a regular syringe.
Step 2
A centrifuge is used to separate PRP components from the blood. After centrifugation, the samples are stored in sterile refrigerators.
Step 3
The plasma is separated into platelet-poor and platelet-rich plasma and red blood cells. Once the growth factors have been separated and diluted with plasma, the PRP is activated.
Step 4
You will then receive an injection of the potent plasma serum in your scalp. The plasma stimulates the stem cells located on the scalp to promote hair growth. The procedure is repeated monthly for three to five sessions depending on the response.
At AKJ Skin and Laser Centre, we perform two types of PRP treatments such as:

Platelet-rich Plasma treatment is not for everyone. You can opt for it only if your hair is thinning out or falling off in patches (Alopecia Areata.) The treatment also works if your hair follicles are active enough to stimulate regrowth. PRP is also ideal if you have severe scarring or suffer from clotting disorders.
Generally, PRP treatment is done in 3 to 5 sessions. Every session is done once in four to six weeks. Since dramatic results do not occur overnight, the number of sessions varies from patient to patient. In addition, maintenance sessions should be scheduled once a year.
The results of PRP have shown to be significant in 60-70% of patients. The treatment usually shows good results in combination with other medicines.
PRP treatment is safe because we use your blood to treat hair fall and hair thinning issues. Therefore, there is no risk of transmission and infections or damage to your skull or brain.
PRP therapy is not an alternative to hair transplants. The PRP therapy protects your existing hair and prevents it from falling out. On the other hand, hair transplant helps replace lost hair in bald areas.
Right after the treatment, you may experience:
After the procedure, there might be a slight feeling of heaviness on your scalp, but that will subside within a few hours. We invite you to visit our clinic on Trivandrum Road (near the TVS showroom), Tirunelveli, to learn more about PRP treatment.
