Hair fall doesn't usually start as a big problem. It begins quietly. A few strands on your comb. A little more than usual while washing your hair. You tell yourself it's normal, and it keeps happening. Do you relate to the situation? Are you seeking a long-lasting solution? At Dr.Cosmetiq, many people now prefer PRP Hair Treatment because it works with your body, not against it.
What is PRP treatment for hair?
PRP Hair Loss Treatment / Platelet Rich Plasma Treatment may sound technical. But the idea is quite simple. A small portion of your blood is processed to concentrate platelets. These platelets are rich in growth factors—the same elements your body uses to heal and repair. When this is used on your scalp, it helps support weak hair follicles and encourages healthier growth. No external chemicals. No artificial add-ons. Just your body doing its job—with a little help.
How does PRP help reduce hair fall?
Hair follicles don't just "stop" working suddenly. They slow down. PRP gives them a boost. By improving blood circulation and delivering growth factors directly to the roots, it helps follicles become active again. Over time, this can lead to:
- Less hair shedding
- Better hair strength
- Gradual improvement in thickness
It's a steady process.
How is PRP treatment performed?
A small amount of blood is taken from your arm—very similar to a routine test. This is placed in a tube and spun in a centrifuge. The spinning separates the platelet-rich part from the rest. That concentrated PRP is then collected. Using fine insulin syringes, it's injected into areas where hair thinning is seen. These are tiny, controlled injections spread across the scalp. Before starting, a numbing cream is usually applied. Local anesthesia is the right solution if someone is very sensitive to pain.
How long does one PRP session take?
A session of PRP treatment for hair loss doesn't take much time. Roughly 30 to 40 minutes in total.
- Blood collection: 5–6 minutes.
- Processing (centrifuge): 15–20 minutes.
- Injections: 15–20 minutes.
It fits easily into a regular day.
How many sessions are needed?
PRP isn't a one-time fix. Most people are advised to go for 4 to 5 sessions to start seeing results. This can change depending on the reason for hair fall. After that:
- Sessions may be repeated every 20 days initially.
- Later, once every three months for maintenance.
Consistency matters more than speed here.
What should you do after PRP treatment?
Nothing too complicated.
- Avoid washing your hair for 24 hours.
- Skip workouts or heavy activity for a day.
- Follow the aftercare given by your doctor.
That's all. No long recovery period, which is why many consider it the Best PRP treatment in Kochi for a busy routine.
Are there any side effects?
This is one of the reasons people feel comfortable choosing PRP. Since the plasma comes from your own blood, the chances of side effects are very low. No additional medicines are used, and the procedure is performed under sterile conditions.
