Skinmatics offers PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) therapy for hair loss in Bengaluru, a non-surgical procedure that uses growth factors from your own blood to stimulate hair follicles and encourage regrowth. Suitable for both men and women experiencing hair thinning or loss.
PRP therapy involves drawing a small amount of the patient's own blood, processing it in a centrifuge to isolate and concentrate the platelet-rich plasma, and injecting it into targeted areas of the scalp. Platelets contain growth factors that promote tissue repair and cellular regeneration. When injected into the scalp, these growth factors stimulate dormant or weakened hair follicles, improving hair density, thickness, and growth rate.
Because PRP is derived from the patient's own blood, the risk of allergic reaction or rejection is minimal. It is a safe, non-surgical option for patients in the early to moderate stages of hair loss, where follicles are still present but underperforming.
Hair thinning and loss can result from a range of factors. PRP is most effective when the underlying cause is identified alongside treatment.
| Cause | How It Contributes |
|---|---|
| Androgenetic alopecia | Pattern hair loss driven by DHT, the most common cause in both men and women |
| Hormonal imbalances | PCOS, thyroid dysfunction, and post-pregnancy hormonal shifts are significant causes in women |
| Nutritional deficiencies | Iron, vitamin D, and B12 deficiencies are frequently seen in Indian patients with hair thinning |
| Stress | Physical or emotional stress can push large numbers of follicles into a shedding phase simultaneously |
| Medications | Certain drugs including blood pressure medications and antidepressants can cause hair shedding |
| Scalp conditions | Dandruff, seborrheic dermatitis, and inflammation can weaken follicles over time |
Unlike most of our treatments, PRP is a single procedure carried out in three sequential steps, not a menu of options. Each session follows the same three steps in order.
| Timeline | What to Expect |
|---|---|
| 24 hours post-session | Avoid washing hair, mild soreness at injection sites is normal |
| Week 1 to 2 | Scalp sensitivity resolves, no visible change yet |
| Month 1 to 3 | Reduction in shedding typically noticed first |
| Month 3 to 6 | Improved hair thickness and new growth in treated areas |
| Month 6+ | Continued improvement with maintenance sessions |
Most patients benefit from an initial course of 4 to 6 sessions, spaced approximately 4 to 6 weeks apart. After completing the initial course, maintenance sessions every 6 to 12 months help sustain the results. The exact number of sessions and spacing depends on your hair loss severity and how your scalp responds to treatment, assessed at follow-up appointments.
Skinmatics has treated over 10,000 patients across 5 clinics in Bengaluru and Chennai. PRP therapy is performed by MBBS, MD-qualified dermatologists who conduct a holistic assessment before recommending treatment. The clinic's experience treating Indian patients means contributing factors such as nutritional deficiencies, PCOS-related hair loss, and stress-triggered shedding are identified and addressed alongside PRP therapy rather than treated in isolation.
