Hair loss can be a distressing experience for both men and women. Whether it’s a receding hairline, thinning at the crown, or diffused hair fall, losing hair can affect your self-confidence and overall quality of life. Thankfully, advancements in regenerative medicine have introduced promising solutions — and one of the most popular among them is PRP therapy.

In this comprehensive guide, brought to you by KERA, we explore the science, process, benefits, and role of PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) therapy in promoting natural hair growth.

What Is AGA (Androgenetic Alopecia)?

Androgenetic Alopecia is a genetic condition that causes progressive hair thinning and baldness. It affects both men and women, though the patterns differ. AGA is the most common cause of hair loss worldwide.

In men: It usually begins with a receding hairline or thinning crown.
In women: Diffuse thinning across the scalp, especially the crown.

Early detection and proper classification are key to managing AGA effectively.

What is PRP Therapy?

PRP stands for Platelet-Rich Plasma — a concentration of platelets derived from your own blood. Platelets are rich in growth factors that are essential for healing and tissue regeneration. When injected into the scalp, these growth factors stimulate dormant hair follicles, improve blood circulation, and encourage new hair growth.

The Science Behind PRP

Here’s how it works:

  • Blood is drawn from your arm.
  • It’s spun in a centrifuge to separate the plasma.
  • The platelet-rich plasma is extracted and injected into your scalp.

Growth factors such as PDGF (Platelet-Derived Growth Factor), VEGF (Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor), and TGF (Transforming Growth Factor) promote cell regeneration, collagen production, and hair follicle repair.

Who Can Benefit from PRP?

PRP therapy is suitable for:

  • Early-stage androgenetic alopecia (AGA)
  • Receding hairlines
  • Receding hairlines
  • Receding hairlines
  • Hair restoration support after a transplant

It works best for patients who still have active but weakened hair follicles. The sooner you begin, the better your results.

The PRP Procedure at Kera Hair Clinic

Step 1: Consultation & Diagnosis
Every treatment begins with a thorough scalp analysis and hair loss grading using tools like trichoscopy and dermoscopy.

Step 2: Blood Draw & Processing
A small sample of your blood is taken and spun in a centrifuge to isolate the platelet-rich plasma.

Step 3: Local Anaesthesia
A topical anaesthetic is applied to ensure your comfort.

Step 4: PRP Injections
Using micro-needles, PRP is strategically injected into areas experiencing hair thinning or hairline recession.

Step 5: Aftercare
You can go home the same day. Minor swelling or redness may occur but usually subsides in 24–48 hours.

Frequency and Results

PRP therapy is typically done in sessions:

  • Initial phase: 3–4 sessions at intervals of 4–6 weeks
  • Maintenance: 1 session every 4–6 months

When to expect results:

  • Reduced hair fall after 1st or 2nd session
  • Visible thickening of hair by the 3rd month
  • Optimal results in 6–9 months
Is PRP Safe?

Yes, PRP is extremely safe since it uses your own blood, minimising the risk of allergies or infections. At KERA, the procedure is performed under sterile conditions by experienced medical professionals, ensuring patient safety and comfort.

Combination Treatments for Better Results

PRP works even better when combined with:

  • Hair transplant (to boost survival and growth of implanted follicles)
  • Exosome therapy (to enhance regenerative effects)
  • Low-level laser therapy (LLLT)
  • Medications like Minoxidil and Biotin

Our experts personalise every treatment plan based on your hair condition and goals.

Who Should Avoid PRP?

Although PRP is safe for most people, it may not be suitable for:

  • Patients with blood disorders or low platelet count
