PRP Therapy for Hair Loss: Does It Really Work? Cost & Results in Dehradun

Introduction

Noticing more hair in your brush lately? Thinning at the crown? Before jumping to surgery, there's a non-surgical option that's getting amazing results: PRP therapy.

What if you could:

• Stop hair loss without surgery

• Strengthen existing hair

• Stimulate new growth

• Use your body's own healing power

That's exactly what PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) therapy does. Let's break down everything in simple terms—no medical jargon, just facts you need.

WHAT IS PRP THERAPY?

PRP uses your own blood to heal your hair. Sounds weird? It's actually brilliant science made simple.

The Simple Explanation:

1. We take a small blood sample (like a regular blood test)

2. Spin it in a special machine to separate the "good stuff" (platelets)

3. Inject this concentrated healing power into your scalp

4. Your hair follicles wake up and get stronger

Why It Works: Platelets contain growth factors—your body's natural healing chemicals. When concentrated and injected into your scalp, they:

• Stimulate dormant hair follicles

• Increase blood flow to hair roots

• Strengthen existing hair

• Reduce hair fall

HOW MUCH DOES PRP COST IN DEHRADUN?

Per Session Cost: ₹5,000 - ₹10,000

Recommended Treatment Plan:

• Initial Phase: 4-6 sessions (1 per month)

• Total Initial Cost: ₹20,000 - ₹60,000

• Maintenance: 1 session every 6-12 months

What's Included: ✅ Blood extraction ✅ PRP preparation ✅ Scalp injections ✅ Post-treatment care instructions

Is It Worth It? Compared to hair transplant (₹80,000+), PRP is more affordable. But remember—PRP strengthens existing hair and slows loss. For regrowth in bald areas, transplant is better.

DOES PRP REALLY WORK?

Honest Answer: Yes, but with realistic expectations.

What PRP CAN Do: ✅ Reduce hair fall by 60-80% ✅ Thicken existing hair ✅ Improve hair quality and shine ✅ Slow down hair loss progression ✅ Stimulate some regrowth in thinning areas

What PRP CANNOT Do: ❌ Regrow hair in completely bald areas ❌ Work instantly (takes 3-6 months) ❌ Provide permanent results without maintenance ❌ Work for everyone (70-80% success rate)

Best Results For:

• Early-stage hair loss

• Thinning hair (not bald)

• People under 40

• Recent hair loss (within 2-3 years)

Pain Level: 4-5 out of 10

What to Expect:

• Numbing cream applied first

• No pain afterward

Most Patients Say: "Uncomfortable but totally bearable. Much easier than I expected."

PRP VS HAIR TRANSPLANT: WHICH IS BETTER?

Choose PRP If:

• Hair is thinning but not bald

• Want to prevent future loss

• Prefer non-surgical option

• Budget is ₹30,000-60,000

• Don't want downtime

Choose Hair Transplant If:

• Already have bald patches

• Want permanent solution

• Need significant regrowth

• Can invest ₹80,000+

• Okay with minor surgery

Can I Do Both? Yes! Many patients do PRP before transplant to strengthen existing hair, then after transplant to enhance results.
