Best PRP Treatment In Delhi

Platelet rich plasma (PRP)


PRP or platelet-rich plasma treatment is cutting-edge technology in the field of hair restoration. It is a non-surgical, minimally invasive procedure in which blood plasma is collected from the patient and then injected into the scalp. The activated plasma aids in the development of new hair and tissue repair.

At our centre of Hair restoration excellence, we ensure the PRP is prepared with utmost sterility and standardised manners. We achieve a platelet count more than five times, giving more reliable results.

Plasma in our body makes up over 50% of the blood volume. The primary function of plasma is to provide the main components of the blood (red, white blood cells, and platelets) the medium of circulation. Although typically (about 90%) made of water, plasma contains other elements. It comprises proteins too.

Since platelets consist of potent healing properties, it is used for varying cosmetic procedures. The platelet-rich plasma constitutes the concentrated levels of platelets in the plasma that are extracted after centrifugation.

PRP works by:

  • Increasing follicular blood supply
  • Increasing hair shaft thickness
  • Triggers hair growth from dormant hair follicles
  • Decreasing overall hair loss
  • Improving hair thickness and density

PRP contains thrombocytes or otherwise called platelets. It promotes steady hair growth with stimulation of the stem cells and other cells around the roots of the hair follicle.

Platelets accelerate the rate and degree of tissue healing and regeneration, respond to injury, and support new cellular growth. PRP stimulates the dormant or newly implanted hair follicles into an active growth phase. It is highly recommended for patients with hair loss and post a hair transplant to help newly implanted follicles gain strength and grow faster.

What are the steps for PRP administration?

The PRP procedure is mainly done in three simple steps:

  • Extraction of the plasma: The PRP or platelet-rich plasma comes from a person's own body. The first step involves drawing the patient's blood using PRP kits. There are advanced and specialised kits available in the market that help in blood extraction. This extracted plasma is then inserted into the scalp, face, or body.
  • Preparation of the plasma: After the extraction of the plasma, the sample is sent to a centrifugation machine. During centrifugation, the blood and the different components of the plasma get separated. The plasma contains growth factors and other healing components, making this a potent solution.
  • Administration: The next step is preparing the person's scalp for PRP administration. The PRP is majorly administered in the person in the form of injections. This concentrated PRP solution is suitable for treating hair loss of the scalp, facial rejuvenation, fine lines, and even acne scars. The doctor first prepares and cleans the site where PRP will be injected during this step. The doctor then gives an anaesthetic to make the plasma injection process painless. Ice and other vibrating devices are also utilised to ensure less pain. 

Dr. Shankila Mittal uses this powerful 'liquid gold' platelet-rich plasma to deliver the best treatment to her patients. At Dr. Shankila's skin and hair clinic, we use this PRP to treat numerous concerns. PRP is often combined with other treatments like hair loss, skin regeneration, face rejuvenation, acne scar treatment, glow treatment. 

What are the different procedures with which PRP treatment can be combined?

PRP works well alone also with or without medical treatment for controlling hair loss and improving hair volume but it can be combined with other treatment options as well for improving excellent and best results.

PRP with hair transplant

Hair transplant surgery is one of the best treatments for permanent hair loss. Using PRP in combination with hair transplant surgery provides impressive results and quick recovery. PRP nourishes the hair follicles and helps in the treatment of many scalp and hair loss issues

When PRP is used in conjunction with hair transplant surgery, it promotes faster healing of the newly transplanted hair follicles and helps to reduce scarring. Platelet-rich plasma also promotes new hair regrowth.

Using PRP in conjunction with mesotherapy

Mesotherapy is a routine non-surgical hair loss treatment. At Dr. Shankila's Skin and Hair Clinic, she administers a potent mixture of many vitamins, minerals, and essential components for proper hair growth. Dr. Shankila uses highly concentrated plasma in conjunction with mesotherapy to achieve the best outcomes in all of her patients. Mesotherapy with PRP for hair is one of the most popular non-surgical procedures for hair rejuvenation.

PRP and scalp threads

Combining a PRP treatment with another non-surgical procedure, such as scalp threads, is a cutting-edge technology that aids in treating hair loss.

Polydioxanone (PDO) scalp sutures are commonly used as scalp threads. These are synthetic sutures that get easily absorbed by the scalp skin. The procedure entails injecting small thread-like structures into the scalp. After 4 to 6 months, these scalp threads disintegrate on their own, resulting in new hair growth. PRP, when injected with scalp threads, provides extra nourishment and better healing. It also stimulates the hair follicles for new growth.

PRP for skin rejuvenation:

Dr. Shankila Mittal's skin and hair clinic offers PRP therapy for other body regions needing rejuvenation. PRP can be used efficiently for face rejuvenation, reducing wrinkles, fine lines, and sagging skin, diminishing the appearance of stretch marks and acne scars.

  • Facial rejuvenation: The concentrated plasma-rich solution is high in growth and other healing factors. They help in the reduction of fine lines and wrinkles from the face and bring out natural glow on the face.
  • PRP for stretch marks: PRP treatment works wonders for stretch marks by promoting skin healing and reducing the appearance of intense stretch marks.
  • PRP for acne scars: Acne scars are also effectively treated at Dr. Shankila's skin and Hair clinic using PRP therapy. When the activated plasma is injected into the area of the face where the scars are present, PRP's growth and healing factors accelerate healing and enhance the texture, look, and appearance of the skin. It also helps in smoothing acne scars.

Who is an eligible candidate for PRP?

PRP therapy is an excellent option for most individuals with hair loss and who desire a non-surgical hair and facial renewal option. A person should:

  • Have an overall good health
  • Motivated to follow doctor's advice

PRP Treatment aftercare

After the plasma is injected into the body, patients may experience mild swelling, which is normal and will subside within a few days.

  • Along with swelling, redness, itching, pain in the area, numbness, and a sensation of fullness may be observed.
  • It is critical not to scratch the affected region
  • You can use ice packs to soothe the swelling and itching.
  • Avoid scrubbing or excessively touching the area.
  • Maintain proper hygiene

How Long Does PRP Last?

You can enjoy the results of PRP for a long time if you take adequate care after the PRP treatment. PRP that is usually done for hair loss treatments lasts around a year. Patients who take proper care of their hair after PRP can experience long-term results and enhanced hair growth.

The long-term outcomes of PRP treatments for facial rejuvenation are one of the main advantages of this procedure. The PRP result can last anywhere from one to two years. The results are subtle and natural-looking, making you appear younger and more radiant.

PRP Treatment Side Effects

Platelet-rich plasma technique is complication-free as the plasma is analogous to the person's own blood. There is no reaction to the PRP in most cases. But in certain rare cases, there can be complications associated with PRP administration. Given below are some of the difficulties:

  • Nausea: you might feel a bit nauseous after the injection of PRP.
  • Dizziness and sleepiness
  • Pain in the scalp around the insertion site
  • Redness

How can PRP treatment in Delhi help with hair loss?

Studies have demonstrated PRP treatment to be beneficial for treating hair loss caused by ageing, androgenetic alopecia, male pattern hair loss and alopecia areata. The blood contains the RBC, WBC, and platelets. The platelets play a very important role in the body’s wound healing process. PRP treatment utilises this wound healing and tissue repair property of the plasma.

PRP usually contains activated plasma, which has a greater platelet concentration than normal blood. It stimulates the development of new hair when injected into the scalp. It has been demonstrated that PRP enhances the blood circulation in the scalp and lengthens the growth phase of existing hair.

In addition, PRP is rich in a range of growth factors that immensely benefits hair development. By boosting the stem cells in the hair, these growth factors help the body’s natural healing and repair process.

Some common growth factors seen in blood plasma are:

  • Platelet-derived growth factor
  • Transforming growth factor-beta
  • Epidermal growth factor

PRP treatment can be combined with other hair loss treatments in Delhi, such as hair transplantation or medications, to maximise its efficiency.

What is the procedure for PRP treatment?

The first step involves collecting and activating platelets from the patient’s blood.

Plasma preparation:

  • A small amount of blood is extracted from the patient’s arm using a syringe - in a special PRP kit specially designed to achieve a high concentration of growth factors
  • Then, the sample is centrifuged, which separates the blood and its different components. Here, the platelet-containing plasma rises to the top while the rest of the contents settle into the tube.
  • At our centre, we double centrifuge to remove the RBC, WBC, and platelet-poor plasma and make a highly concentrated solution.
  • The final solution we get is liquid gold- this PRP is a highly potent growth factor and platelet-rich solution with innumerable rejuvenating, growth-promoting, and tissue-building properties with magical results in facial rejuvenation, hair growth, wrinkles, fine lines and acne scar treatment.

PRP Administration:

  • The Dermatologist begins the procedure by administering anaesthesia to the patient. It is done to ensure that the procedure is painless.
  • At specifically defined locations, PRP is injected into the scalp.
  • Microneedles are used to inject PRP for precise dosage and to make it painless.

Benefits of PRP treatment in India:

There are numerous advantages of using the platelet-rich plasma technique for hair loss:

  • Non-surgical: One of the most significant advantages is that the entire process is non-surgical. Blood extraction and plasma injection require no surgical intervention and are minimally invasive.
  • This is one of the most popular and effective hair loss treatments. The patient’s blood is utilised to collect plasma during this procedure. As there is no extraneous material in the plasma, the body does not react to it, making the process completely safe. No complications: PRP does not have any negative side effects.
  • Less painful: PRP is not painful as the entire treatment is done under anaesthesia. Even the injection of PRP is done with a microneedle.
  • Increases hair blood supply: Alopecia areata is an autoimmune disorder that causes hair loss owing to follicular destruction. PRP has emerged as an efficient substitute. It improves blood flow to the hair follicles, resulting in new hair growth.
  • Combination therapy: PRP treatment works in combination with all other hair treatments. It can be used successfully with other hair loss procedures such as hair transplantation and hair medicines to boost new hair growth significantly.

Some additional benefits of PRP Treatment are

  • No visible or permanent scarring
  • Done as an outpatient procedure. Patients are discharged the same day
  • Quicker recovery.
  • Natural results in no time at all

Effectiveness of PRP

PRP has demonstrated encouraging effects in hair loss treatment, notably androgenic alopecia, over a few years (male pattern baldness). From 2014 to 2019, much research was conducted to look at the effects of PRP as a hair loss therapy and found promising results. A 2014 study demonstrated the significance of PRP in boosting hair follicles and exhibiting active hair growth. Another research published in 2019 compared the drugs minoxidil and PRP. It was observed that the performance of PRP was superior to that of minoxidil only.

PRP treatment cost in Delhi

PThe PRP treatment cost in Delhi varies depending on several factors. Each individual’s hair concerns and hair loss patterns are unique. And, since the treatment plan is subjective, the expense varies as well.

Some of the most common factors that can impact the ultimate PRP treatment cost are listed below:

  • The clinic’s location: The city where it is located can impact the overall cost. In general, the overall cost of PRP treatment in a metropolitan city is higher than in a small town.
  • The PRP extraction Kit used: The cost varies depending upon the kit chosen to extract PRP. A standardised kit that results in highly concentrated PRP extraction will have a higher cost than a local not so efficient kit.
  • The clinic: The clinic you choose has a significant impact on the final cost. Infrastructure, the clinic’s facilities, equipment, and skilled staff, are primary aspects that might affect cost. A reputable and high-quality clinic will charge a bit higher for its services.
  • Patient requirements: The cost of the entire treatment varies based on the patient’s needs, hair texture, treatment areas, and hair loss severity.
  • Dermatologist’s experience: The experience of your dermatologist is critical to the outcome. It is recommended that you go to an experienced Dermatologist to ensure better treatment. Although the fee may be higher, you will undoubtedly receive superior care.
  • The number of PRP sessions: More PRP sessions are required in case of extensive hair loss. The number of PRP sessions required is different for each individual. This can have an impact on the ultimate cost.

In general, PRP treatment in Delhi ranges from INR 4000- 10000 for one session.

This cost is also not uniform throughout Delhi. There are a lot of clinics here. It is critical to conduct extensive research before deciding on a clinic for your treatment. A good doctor and a good clinic are vital in achieving a successful outcome.
