Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy uses a concentrate made from your own blood to support tissue healing. It is popular for thinning hair and for improving skin texture and acne marks. At PS Dental Care, Narela Mandi, we first examine you and explain honestly whether PRP is likely to help, how many sessions you may need and what results are realistic.

Platelets are blood cells that release growth factors involved in healing. In PRP therapy:
Because it uses your own blood, the risk of an allergic reaction is low, but PRP is not risk-free and results vary from person to person.
PRP is commonly used for early to moderate pattern hair thinning in men and women. It may reduce shedding and improve hair density in some people, usually after a course of sessions and several months. It is less useful for advanced baldness or for scarring types of hair loss. See our page on hair fall treatment in Narela for causes and other options.
PRP, often combined with microneedling, is used to improve skin texture, dullness and shallow acne scars. Improvement is usually gradual and modest, and deep scars may need other treatments. See acne treatment in Narela for related options.
| Step | Details |
|---|---|
| Consultation | The doctor examines your hair or skin, asks about your health and medicines, and tells you if PRP is suitable. |
| Blood draw and processing | A small blood sample is taken and processed in a centrifuge. |
| Treatment | PRP is injected or applied to the treatment area. Numbing cream can be used. |
| Afterwards | Redness, tenderness or slight swelling can occur for a day or two. You can usually return to normal activities quickly. |
PRP needs a series of sessions, commonly a few sessions spaced weeks apart, followed by maintenance sessions, and improvement is gradual over several months. The evidence for PRP is stronger for some uses than others, and it does not work for everyone. It is not a cure for the underlying cause of hair loss or skin problems.
Tell your doctor if you have a blood or platelet disorder, take blood thinners, have an active skin or scalp infection, have cancer, are pregnant, or are unwell on the day. PRP may need to be delayed or avoided in these cases.
Common effects are pain at the injection sites, redness, swelling, bruising and mild headache. Rarely, infection, scarring or a temporary increase in shedding can occur.
PRP is not offered here for knee or other joint pain, which should be assessed by an orthopaedic doctor.
Most people feel pricking or stinging during injections. Numbing cream can make it more comfortable.
It depends on your concern. Usually a series of sessions is planned, then maintenance sessions. Your doctor will explain after examining you.
No. Results are gradual and not permanent, so maintenance sessions are usually needed, especially for hair.
It is generally well tolerated because it uses your own blood, but it does carry risks such as pain, bruising and infection, and it is not suitable for everyone.
The cost depends on the area treated and the number of sessions. Call +91 95601 08207 to book a consultation and get an estimate.
