PRP Hair Treatment
Platelet-Rich Plasma therapy stimulates dormant follicles using your own growth factors.
What is PRP Hair Treatment?
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy is one of the most effective in-clinic treatments for early to moderate pattern hair loss, post-pregnancy shedding, and thinning after illness or stress. At Orange Skin Clinic, Tirunelveli, PRP is performed by Dr. M. Selvakummar using a closed, double-spin protocol to ensure consistent platelet concentration.
The science is simple: your blood is rich in growth factors (PDGF, VEGF, EGF, IGF-1) that signal hair follicles to re-enter the active growth (anagen) phase. We draw a small sample of your own blood, separate the platelet-rich layer in a centrifuge, activate it, and inject it into the thinning areas of your scalp using ultra-fine needles after a numbing cream.
A standard course is 4–6 monthly sessions, followed by maintenance every 4–6 months. Most patients notice reduced shedding within 4–8 weeks and visible regrowth around month 3. PRP works best when combined with topical or oral minoxidil and (for men) finasteride.
PRP is not a cure for genetic baldness, but for the right candidate — diffuse thinning, early Norwood 2–4, female pattern Ludwig 1–2 — it produces a noticeable density and quality boost. We screen every patient with trichoscopy and blood work before recommending PRP, because deficiencies of iron, vitamin D, B12 or thyroid imbalance must be corrected first.
The procedure takes about 45 minutes, has no downtime, and you can wash your hair the next day. Searching for PRP hair treatment in Tirunelveli or trusted hair clinic near me? Book a trichoscopy consultation at our Palayamkottai clinic.
