Hair loss is a progressive condition that can affect confidence, appearance, and overall well-being. At Cara Clinics, we understand that every individual experiences hair loss differently, and effective treatment requires a personalised, medically guided approach. PRP Hair Treatment (Platelet-Rich Plasma Therapy) is one of the most advanced non-surgical solutions we offer to strengthen existing hair, slow the progression of hair loss, and improve scalp health by harnessing the body’s own regenerative potential.
PRP Hair Treatment is a medical procedure that uses platelet-rich plasma derived from the patient’s own blood to stimulate hair follicles and improve hair growth. At Cara Clinics, PRP therapy is performed under strict medical protocols to ensure safety, accuracy, and consistent results. The treatment focuses on revitalising weakened or dormant hair follicles, improving blood circulation to the scalp, and enhancing the overall quality and density of hair.
Whether PRP Hair Treatment is suitable for you depends on multiple factors that are evaluated together. PRP works best when hair follicles are still present but weakened. Even if hair thinning is noticeable, the presence of dormant or miniaturised follicles can make PRP an effective treatment option.
PRP therapy requires the presence of active or dormant hair follicles. Candidates with thinning hair or miniaturised follicles are more likely to benefit, as PRP cannot regenerate hair in completely bald areas where follicles are absent.
Individuals experiencing increased hair loss due to stress, hormonal changes, or nutritional imbalances may benefit from PRP therapy. The growth factors in PRP help stabilise the hair growth cycle and reduce excessive shedding.
PRP is suitable for individuals who are not ready for surgical procedures or prefer a non-invasive treatment option. It offers natural hair improvement without cuts, stitches, or extended recovery time.
Candidates should be in overall good health. Since PRP uses the patient’s own blood, individuals without blood disorders or active scalp infections are more likely to experience safe and effective results.
Both men and women experiencing diffuse thinning, particularly those with early hair density reduction, can benefit from PRP therapy. Women who are not ideal candidates for hair transplant due to diffuse thinning often find PRP beneficial.
Individuals noticing early signs of hair weakening or thinning can use PRP as a preventive measure. Early intervention helps preserve existing hair and delay further hair loss progression.
PRP Hair Treatment activates growth factors that stimulate hair follicles at a cellular level. This encourages follicles to enter the active growth phase, supporting natural and gradual hair regrowth in areas of thinning hair.
PRP improves the health of weakened and miniaturised follicles, resulting in thicker, stronger hair strands. This helps slow down the progression of hair thinning and improves overall hair resilience.
By revitalising dormant follicles and improving follicular function, PRP enhances overall hair density. Patients often notice fuller-looking hair with improved volume over multiple sessions.
PRP therapy helps stabilise the hair growth cycle and reduces excessive hair shedding. With improved scalp circulation and follicle nourishment, hair fall gradually decreases.
The first step of PRP therapy involves drawing blood, which is typically performed using a standard venipuncture technique. This initial step may cause a brief moment of discomfort, similar to any routine blood draw, but it is generally not considered painful. After the blood is collected, it is processed in a centrifuge to separate the components, a process that doesn’t involve any pain for the patient. Most of the discomfort associated with PRP therapy arises during the injection phase.
After collection of the blood, the original platelet count is noted and centrifugation performed using a modern platelet counting machine. A second platelet count is done after centrifugation, at which the platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is prepared. The two readings are subsequently compared with each other in a calculated manner to make the treatment of the patient effective. To ensure the best outcomes, the platelet count in the made PRP must preferably be 3 to 5 times greater than the initial count of platelets.
The PRP injection process is meant to be pain free and comfortable as it is done by initially applying an anesthetic to the scalp using a numbing cream or topical anesthetic. This will prevent patients incurring pain in the injections. The scalp is a sensitive part and is full of nerve endings, and therefore the anesthetic is vital in alleviating pain. The PRP is then injected into the specific regions when the scalp is properly numbed. Minor pressure or slight stinginess of the procedure may be experienced by patients but it is temporary and can be easily tolerated. In general, PRP is a stress-free procedure that most patients can easily endure because of the use of topical anesthesia.
Following the PRP treatment, patients may experience some mild soreness or tenderness in the scalp, akin to a bruise or mild headache. This discomfort usually subsides within a few hours to a couple of days. Applying ice packs to the treated area can help alleviate any post-procedure discomfort and reduce swelling. While some patients may report a more significant sensation of pressure or discomfort, these symptoms are generally temporary and resolve quickly.
PRP Hair Treatment is primarily used to improve hair quality, density, and follicular health in areas where hair follicles are still present but weakened or dormant. At Cara Clinics, PRP is carefully targeted to scalp regions that show thinning rather than complete follicular loss.
PRP Hair Treatment can be used in the frontal scalp and hairline regions where hair thinning has begun but follicles are still present. By delivering growth factors directly to these areas, PRP helps strengthen existing hair follicles, reduce further miniaturisation, and improve hair quality.
The temple areas are often affected early in androgenetic alopecia, particularly in men. When hair follicles in the temples are weakened but not completely lost, PRP therapy can help revitalise them. By improving scalp circulation and reducing follicular inflammation, PRP supports the gradual thickening of existing hair in the temple regions and helps slow the progression of further hair loss.
PRP Hair Treatment is particularly beneficial for individuals experiencing diffuse thinning rather than isolated bald patches. In such cases, PRP is injected across multiple thinning zones of the scalp. This approach improves overall scalp health, stabilises the hair growth cycle, reduces excessive shedding, and enhances uniform hair density across the scalp.
PRP works by stimulating dormant hair follicles to re-enter the active growth phase. Areas of the scalp that appear thin but still contain viable follicles respond well to PRP therapy. The growth factors in PRP stimulate cellular regeneration at the follicular level, resulting in a gradual improvement in hair strength and density over time.
PRP Hair Treatment is commonly used as a supportive therapy in patients who have undergone hair transplant surgery. When applied to transplanted and surrounding scalp areas, PRP helps enhance blood supply, reduce inflammation, support healing, and improve the survival and quality of transplanted hair follicles. This targeted use of PRP creates a healthier scalp environment and contributes to improved long-term transplant outcomes.
Expect mild discomfort, swelling, or redness at injection sites; this is normal. Avoid touching or scratching treated areas to prevent infection.
Do not wash your hair for at least 24 to 48 hours post-treatment. Use gentle, sulfate-free shampoos when you resume washing.
Avoid strenuous exercise and activities that cause excessive sweating for at least 48 hours. Refrain from saunas, steam rooms, and swimming pools for a few days.
Protect your scalp from direct sunlight; consider wearing a hat if necessary. Avoid tanning beds for a couple of weeks.
Continue a balanced diet to support hair health. Maintain good hydration to promote healing.(Avoid spicy food and alcohol or smoking for first few hours)
Attend all scheduled follow-up appointments for progress evaluation. Be patient; hair growth results can take several months to become noticeable. Discuss additional treatments or hair care products with your provider as needed.
PRP Hair Treatment may cause temporary discomfort at the injection sites. Patients can experience mild soreness, tenderness, or a pressure-like sensation on the scalp after the procedure. These effects are usually short-lived and resolve within a few hours to a couple of days without intervention.
Some patients may notice mild swelling, redness, or minor bruising in the treated areas following PRP injections. These effects are associated with the injection process itself and are considered normal. These are mild and subside naturally within a short period.
Although PRP is a safe procedure when performed under sterile medical conditions, with any injection-based treatment, there is a minimal risk of infection. This risk is significantly reduced when PRP therapy is carried out using strict aseptic techniques by trained medical professionals.
At Cara Clinic, our PRP Hair Treatment is performed under strict medical protocols using sterile techniques and clinically proven methods outlined in evidence-based practice. We use the patient’s own platelet-rich plasma, ensuring safety and minimal risk. Each treatment is personalised based on scalp condition, hair loss pattern, and medical evaluation, delivering reliable, natural-looking results under expert medical supervision.
PRP contains growth factors that stimulate hair follicles, enhance blood supply to the scalp, and promote healing, encouraging existing hair to grow and potentially activating dormant follicles.
Yes, PRP therapy is considered safe since it uses the patient’s own blood, minimizing the risk of allergic reactions or infections.
A healthcare provider draws a small amount of blood from the patient, which is then processed in a centrifuge to separate the plasma rich in platelets from the red blood cells.
After blood collection, you’ll undergo a short processing period before the PRP is injected into the scalp at targeted areas.
Initial results may be seen within a few months, but full results often take 3-4 months. It generally depends on the no. sessions suggested by doctor, each session is done in 30days gap . Also, it is recommended to take 3 to 4 sessions altogether to see better results.
