PRP for Hairfall
                     PRP for Hair Fall
Hairfall! Is this the term that concerns you? There are people who suffer from severe
hair fall for reasons that might be genetic or other health related issues. Hair loss or
thinning of hair is a common problem faced by both men and women which can also
occur due to ageing or stress.
While looking for a solution, one might come across several solutions but choosing
the right one is what makes a difference. There are some solutions which are proven
to be significantly better at curing the problem than others.
One such solution is known as PRP.
What is PRP?
Platelet-rich-plasma is a process in which a substance is taken from your blood
and then injected into your scalp which further helps to cure a lot of problems such
as follicles (where your hair grow from) and helps heal other bodily tissues.
It is a process which increases the concentration of certain proteins that contribute
towards healing in your body.
Not just hair loss, but a number of health problems can be treated with the help of
PRP such as tendon injuries and osteoarthritis. As per studies, it is a proven scientific
method to treat baldness in men, also known as androgenic alopecia.
How effective is PRP for hair fall?
We, at Vardaan Clinic aim to give the best results to our patients and believe in giving
the right advice.
Being an in-office, non-surgical treatment, PRP can be performed within 30 minutes.
It  helps enhance hair  follicle  function as it  contains growth factors.  PRP is more
effective on patients with “weak quality” of hair growth on their scalp as opposed to
those having shiny bald spot. 
According to research, the best candidate is the person who has recently started to
experience loss of hair. PRP isn’t advisable for people who are completely bald.
It can be particularly effective in female pattern hair loss. 
Duration of the treatment
The full procedure takes nearly 30 minutes to complete. A sample is drawn from
your blood, which is then spun in a centrifuge to separate the platelets. Then the
mix  is  extracted  and  injected  into  the  balding  areas  of  your  scalp.  Dr.  Jyoti
Sharma will  make you feel  comfortable  during the  whole procedure,  so there’s
never a need to worry about any discomfort during the treatment.
Patients  who  go  through  PRP  usually  experience  minimal  discomfort  and  can
easily go back to their routines from the following day.  The treatment requires
patients to return once a month for three months for injections and thereafter,
once every three to six months.
The  risks  associated  with  the  process  are  minimal  because  it  uses  your  own
blood.
Once the procedure is complete, it can take upto 6-12 months to see the results
visibly in the mirror, however, in exceptional cases the results can also be visible
in 3 months.
In  order  to  track  improvement,  the  doctors  take  standardises  images  of  your
scalp before starting the treatment.
