How Many PRP Sessions Do I Need for Hair Regrowth?

Hair loss or hair thinning is a very common issue that millions of people are experiencing worldwide. As per the surveys, it has been found that around 30 million women and 50 million men suffer from pattern baldness in the United States alone and a nearly significant amount in India.

But the good news is that medical science has evolved a lot and has brought several innovative hair restoration treatment options over time.

Platelet-rich Plasma (PRP) therapy is one of the treatment options for hair loss. Researchers claim its effectiveness for all types of hair loss.

The therapy is based on the effectiveness of essential proteins and regenerative cells in the blood. The PRP injections help to restore damaged tissues.

The blood components are separated, and the plasma thus obtained is filtered out. For this step, a machine called a centrifuge isolates the PRP from the rest of the blood.

The filtered PRP is drawn into the syringe and injected into the scalp. This is done to promote hair growth. Besides increasing the blood flow to the hair follicles, it promotes cell growth.

How many PRP sessions are needed for hair regrowth?

One of the major concerns of patients considering PRP therapy for hair loss is the number of sessions they require to get the desired hair growth. However, it should be remembered that the number of sessions differs from person to person.

The number of sessions depends on various factors, such as the extent of hair loss and overall health. And therefore, multiple PRP therapy sessions are needed to get the desired hair regrowth.

Generally, patients have to undergo three separate sessions at an interval of each 5 to 6 weeks. Moreover, to maintain the results, it is recommended to undergo only one session every 4 to 6 months.

Is the result of PRP therapy permanent?

The initial results of the therapy are visible after multiple sessions. As results appear, you will need follow-up visits at 6 to 12 months.

It is done to maintain and boost the effects of the treatment. Though the solution is temporary, the results can be long-lasting.

Moreover, if the process is performed by a skilled and experienced doctor or surgeon, it increases the chances of success and longevity.

The in-house cosmetic surgeon of ALCS Clinic, Dr Sunil Arora, has years of experience with an incredible record of successful surgeries and treatment options.

Is PRP therapy painful?

PRP therapy is a non-invasive and non-surgical process; therefore, it is pain-free. It is performed under local anaesthesia and is considered one of the safest ways to restore hair growth.

The process involves injecting a needle into the scalp hence minimal pain is expected, but that too is bearable. Moreover, as one’s blood is injected into the scalp, there are no risks of infectious diseases.

It is common for some patients to experience mild swelling and tenderness In the scalp. However, it lasts only 3 to 5 days and goes on its own.

What is better: PRP or a hair transplant?

It usually depends on the type of hair loss one is experiencing to know which is better for them, PRP or hair transplant. Those suffering from substantial balding or hair thinning across the scalp are recommended for hair transplant procedures.

It helps to cover bald patches and receding hairlines more effectively. Moreover, those experiencing genetic hair loss, known as female or male pattern baldness, should also consider a hair transplant.

On the other hand, PRP therapy is more suitable for those suffering from alopecia areata and traction alopecia.

Moreover, PRP therapy would be ideal for you if you want to strengthen your existing hair, promote thick and natural hair growth, and reduce hair fall. Expect the best results from PRP hair treatment at ALCS Clinic.

Who is an ideal candidate for PRP hair restoration treatment?

PRP hair treatment is perfect for those seeking a non-invasive, non-surgical hair loss solution. PRP hair therapy is ideal if you are in the early stages of hair loss.

It is ineffective for those with significant balding as it fails to revive hair follicles that have been dormant for a long time.
