PRP hair treatment, explained without overpromising.

PRP uses platelets from your own blood to support thinning hair. It can add to a medical plan for pattern hair loss. It does not replace that plan, and it does not suit everyone.

The short answer

PRP hair treatment injects a concentrate of your own platelets into the scalp to support follicles that are thinning but still active. Trials show it can increase hair density at 3 and 6 months in pattern hair loss. It works as an add-on to proven medicines, not a replacement, and results vary from person to person.

Is PRP hair treatment right for you?

Often suits

  • Men and women with pattern hair loss (androgenetic alopecia) whose follicles are thinning but still present.
  • People already using, or about to start, medical treatment such as topical minoxidil who want to discuss an add-on.
  • People who cannot use or do not tolerate a first-line medicine, once a doctor has talked through the alternatives.
  • Anyone willing to complete a starting course and a review at 3 and 6 months before deciding whether to continue.

May not suit

  • Areas of scalp that have been smooth and bald for a long time, where follicles no longer produce hair.
  • People with certain blood or platelet disorders, or a low platelet count.
  • People taking blood-thinning medicines. Ask your doctor first, and do not stop any medicine on your own.
4 more reasons
  • An active scalp infection, open wounds, or a flare of scalp skin disease in the area to be treated.
  • Pregnancy or breastfeeding, when in-clinic hair treatment is usually deferred.
  • Hair loss whose cause has not yet been assessed, such as a thyroid problem, low iron or patchy alopecia.
  • Anyone expecting PRP on its own to restore a full head of hair.

How PRP for hair regrowth works

PRP stands for platelet-rich plasma. A small sample of your blood is drawn and spun in a centrifuge, which separates the platelets from the red cells. The platelet-rich layer is then injected into the thinning areas of the scalp with fine needles. Platelets carry growth factors, and the working theory is that releasing them around the follicle helps a shrinking follicle stay in its growth phase for longer and produce a thicker hair. That is why PRP is aimed at follicles that are miniaturising, not at skin that has been bald for years. Preparation methods differ between clinics and studies, including how many times the blood is spun and whether the platelets are activated, which is one reason published results vary. PRP does not change the hormone sensitivity that drives pattern hair loss, so medicines still matter.

How care runs at Clinic Eximus

The same order for everyone, so nothing is decided before the cause is clear.

  1. Step 1

    Consultation and history

    Your doctor asks when the hair loss started, how it has changed, your general health, medicines, diet, and periods or pregnancies where relevant, and what you have already tried.

  2. Step 2

    Scalp examination and trichoscopy

    A magnified look at the scalp shows the pattern, the range of hair thicknesses and any signs of another condition. Photographs give a baseline for later comparison.

  3. Step 3

    Tests where needed

    Blood tests, for example for thyroid function, iron stores or a blood count, are suggested when your history or examination points to them, not by default.

  4. Step 4

    A written plan with the price

    If PRP suits you, the plan is set out in writing: the medical treatment that sits alongside it, the number of sessions to start with, the per-session price and when you will be reviewed.

  5. Step 5

    Treatment and review

    Sessions are spaced over several weeks. Progress is judged against your baseline photographs at around 3 and 6 months, and the plan is changed or stopped if it is not helping.

What the research says

Published studies and guidelines, linked so you can read them yourself. Evidence is not a promise for any one person.

  1. 9 trials · 238 people. In 9 randomised trials (238 people) with pattern hair loss, PRP increased hair density compared with placebo at 3 and 6 months. Hair count and hair thickness improved from baseline but were not clearly better than placebo. No serious side effects were reported. (Zhang et al., Journal of Cutaneous Medicine and Surgery (PubMed 37533146), 2023) opens in a new tab

  2. 25 trials. Across 25 trials of PRP on its own, results tended to be better with more sessions and shorter gaps between them. Protocols varied widely, including how the blood was spun and whether platelets were activated. (Gupta and Bamimore, Journal of Drugs in Dermatology (PubMed 36074501), 2022) opens in a new tab

  3. 42 people · 6 months. In a retrospective study of 42 people (25 PRP, 17 GFC), each given 3 sessions 4 weeks apart, GFC gave quicker early gains, while PRP showed better hair diameter and overall improvement scores at 6 months. PRP caused more scalp redness. (Garg and Thirumalaiswamy, Dermatologic Surgery (PubMed 40557953), 2025) opens in a new tab

1 more study

  1. Medicines first. Guidelines for pattern hair loss list topical minoxidil and, for suitable men, 5-alpha reductase inhibitors such as finasteride among the core medical treatments, and use trichoscopy to diagnose and monitor hair loss. (Italian guidelines adapted from EDF/EADV, androgenetic alopecia in women and men (PubMed 33295740), 2020) opens in a new tab

Your first six months

Typical milestones from published studies and guidelines. Your doctor sets your own schedule.

  1. Week 0

    Consultation, scalp check and any tests

  2. Weeks 0–8

    Often 3 sessions, about 4 weeks apart

  3. Month 3

    First review of density

  4. Month 6

    Decide together: continue, maintain or change

What to expect

  • Change is gradual. Trials measured gains in hair density at 3 and 6 months, so judge PRP over that span, not after one session.
  • Response varies. Some people see a clear gain in density; others see little. There is no reliable way to predict this before starting.
  • In trials, hair density improved more consistently than hair thickness or hair count, which were not clearly better than placebo.
  • Benefit is not expected to last on its own. Pattern hair loss continues, so many people are offered maintenance sessions, and medical treatment usually continues.
  • PRP does not regrow hair on scalp that has been bald for a long time.

Side effects and safety

  • Tenderness, redness or mild swelling of the scalp for a day or two is common. A 2025 study noted more redness after PRP than after GFC.
  • Pinpoint bleeding, small bruises or a mild headache can occur. The trials pooled in a 2023 meta-analysis reported no serious side effects.
  • Any injection carries a small risk of infection, so the scalp is cleaned first and aftercare matters.
  • Tell your doctor about any blood-thinning medicine, supplement or bleeding problem before your session.
  • Contact the clinic if you notice spreading redness, warmth, pus or a fever after treatment.

Questions people ask

Does PRP regrow hair permanently?

No. PRP can improve hair density in pattern hair loss, but the benefit is not expected to last on its own. The hormone sensitivity behind pattern loss continues, so many people are offered maintenance sessions and keep using medical treatment. Trials mostly report results at 3 and 6 months, and longer-term data is limited. Your doctor will review your progress and tell you plainly whether continuing makes sense.

Is PRP safe?

For most suitable people, PRP is considered low risk. A 2023 meta-analysis of 9 trials found no serious side effects; the usual effects are short-lived scalp tenderness, redness and pinpoint bleeding. It is not suitable for everyone, including people with certain blood or platelet disorders, an active scalp infection, or during pregnancy. Tell your doctor about any blood thinners first, and do not stop them on your own.

Does PRP for hair growth really work?

It can help some people, mainly by increasing hair density. A meta-analysis of 9 randomised trials found density improved compared with placebo at 3 and 6 months, though hair count and thickness were not clearly better than placebo. Results vary between people and between studies. PRP is most useful as an add-on to medical treatment, judged against your own baseline photographs.

What is the cost of PRP for hair in Delhi?

Across Delhi NCR, PRP for hair usually costs about ₹5,000 to ₹10,000 per session. Your total depends on how many sessions are in your starting course, the preparation method, and whether maintenance sessions are planned. Your doctor confirms the plan and final price in writing at consultation, before you commit to anything.

Why would a doctor suggest medicines before PRP?

Because guidelines put medical treatment first for pattern hair loss. Topical minoxidil, and finasteride for suitable men, have larger and longer-running evidence than PRP. PRP is an add-on for suitable people, not a replacement. If you are offered PRP on your first visit without a diagnosis or a conversation about medicines, it is reasonable to ask why.

How often are PRP sessions done?

Studies commonly use a starting course of about 3 sessions, roughly 4 weeks apart, with progress checked at 3 and 6 months. A 2022 analysis of 25 trials found that more sessions and shorter gaps tended to give better results, but there is no single agreed schedule. Your doctor sets yours after examining your scalp, and decides on any maintenance at review.

Should I choose PRP or GFC?

There is no single right answer for everyone. A 2025 study of 42 people found GFC gave quicker early gains, while PRP had better hair diameter and improvement scores at 6 months. Evidence on GFC comes from small studies. Cost, how you respond and your doctor's assessment usually decide. Our PRP and GFC comparison article covers the differences in more detail.

Does PRP hurt?

Most people feel stinging or pressure during the injections, and the scalp may feel tender for a day or two afterwards. How much you feel depends on the area treated and your own sensitivity. Your doctor can talk you through numbing options before the session, so you know what to expect.
