PRP Therapy for Hair Loss

Stimulate Natural Hair Regrowth Using Your Own Biology

PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) for hair is a clinically proven, non-surgical treatment that uses growth factors concentrated from your own blood to reactivate dormant hair follicles and promote regrowth. It is one of the most widely used and evidence-backed biological treatments for androgenetic alopecia and diffuse hair thinning — and it starts with just a simple blood draw.

What is Advanced Exosome Therapy for Hair?

PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) is prepared from your own blood. A small sample (10–20ml) is drawn and spun in a medical-grade centrifuge to separate the blood into its components. The resulting platelet-rich layer — containing a concentration of growth factors 3–5x higher than normal blood — is collected and injected into the scalp.

These growth factors — including PDGF (Platelet-Derived Growth Factor), TGF-β (Transforming Growth Factor), VEGF (Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor), and EGF (Epidermal Growth Factor) — work by stimulating the dermal papilla cells at the base of the hair follicle. They prolong the anagen (active growth) phase, improve blood supply to follicles, and stimulate the proliferation of follicular stem cells — leading to stronger, thicker hair growth over time.

PRP is most effective in the early-to-moderate stages of hair loss, where follicles are miniaturised but still alive and capable of responding to growth stimulation.

What It Treats?

Androgenetic alopecia (male and female pattern hair loss)
Diffuse hair thinning and reduced hair density
Telogen effluvium (stress or illness-related shedding)
Early to moderate hair loss (Norwood Scale I–IV)
Post-partum hair fall
Hair loss associated with nutritional deficiencies
Slow hair growth and weak hair shaft quality

Targeted Areas

Crown and vertex thinning (top of scalp)
Receding hairline and temples
Diffuse thinning zones across the full scalp
Post-transplant scalp (to support graft survival and healing)

Why Choose This Treatment?

Clinically validated and endorsed by international dermatology guidelines for hair loss
Uses your own blood — completely autologous, zero risk of allergy or rejection
Directly targets the dermal papilla — the engine of hair follicle activity
Addresses active shedding and promotes new growth simultaneously
Can be used alongside minoxidil, finasteride, or hair transplant for enhanced results
Safe for both men and women across all age groups

Treatment Process at The IVY Clinics

Hair Loss Consultation

A dermatologist assesses your hair loss pattern (using trichoscopy if needed), scalp condition, and medical history to confirm PRP candidacy and design a treatment course.

Blood Draw

A small amount of blood (10–20ml) is drawn from your arm — similar to a routine blood test. This takes just a few minutes.

Centrifugation

The blood sample is placed in a medical-grade centrifuge and spun at high speed to separate and concentrate the platelet-rich plasma layer.

Scalp Numbing & Preparation

A topical anaesthetic cream is applied to the scalp and left for 30–40 minutes. The scalp is then cleansed and prepared for injection.

PRP Injection

The prepared PRP is injected into the scalp at multiple points across the thinning areas using fine needles at precise depths. The procedure typically takes 30–45 minutes

The PRP Therapy for Hair Loss Procedure at Ivy Clinics

At Ivy Clinics, PRP for hair is prepared and administered by our qualified dermatologist using certified, medical-grade centrifuge systems. The entire process — from blood draw to injection — is carried out in our sterile clinical environment with single-use, disposable equipment. We do not outsource or delegate the injection to non-medical staff. A standard course of 3–4 sessions spaced 4 weeks apart is recommended, followed by maintenance sessions every 4–6 months. Trichoscopy may be used to track follicular response between sessions.

Is It Safe?

Yes. PRP is one of the safest hair treatments available because it uses your own biological material — eliminating any possibility of allergic reaction or immune rejection. The procedure is minimally invasive. Mild scalp tenderness, redness, and occasional swelling for 24–48 hours post-treatment are normal and expected. Rare side effects (bruising, minor infection) are further minimised by proper clinical technique and sterile equipment. PRP has been safely used in medical settings for decades across multiple specialties.

How to Prepare for Your Session

Eat a proper meal and stay well-hydrated before your appointment — this makes blood draw easier and improves PRP quality
Avoid alcohol for 24 hours before treatment
Avoid blood-thinning medications (aspirin, ibuprofen) and supplements (fish oil, vitamin E) for 5–7 days prior
Wash your hair with a mild shampoo on the morning of your session
Inform your doctor of any recent illness, scalp infections, or medications you are currently taking

Precautions

Do not wash your hair for at least 24 hours after the session
Avoid applying hair oils, serums, or any products directly to the scalp for 24 hours
Avoid strenuous exercise and excessive sweating for 24 hours
Avoid direct sun exposure on the scalp — wear a hat or cap outdoors
Do not use chemical hair treatments (colouring, straightening, perming) for at least 1 week post-session

What to Expect After Treatment

The scalp may feel tender and appear slightly red for 24–48 hours after each session — this is a normal sign of the healing response. Patients typically notice a reduction in hair shedding within 4–6 weeks of beginning their treatment course. Visible improvements in hair density and the emergence of new baby hairs are generally observed after 2–3 sessions. The full effect of a complete PRP course (3–4 sessions) is best assessed at 4–6 months, as hair growth is a slow biological process. Maintenance sessions every 4–6 months are recommended to sustain results.
