What exactly is PRP?
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) is a high concentration of autologous platelets suspended in a small amount of plasma. Platelets are rich in alpha-granules containing growth factors like VEGF and PDGF, which stimulate the follicle's stem cells and improve blood supply to the scalp.
Why choose medical-grade PRP:
- Natural & Autologous: Since it uses your own blood, there is zero risk of allergy or rejection.
- Follicle Reactivation: Wakes up "sleeping" follicles in cases of early thinning.
- Improved Diameter: Not just more hair, but "thicker" hair strands.
- Pre/Post Transplant Support: Often used to increase the survival rate of transplanted hair grafts.

| 4. Injection | Tiny, precise micro-injections into the scalp | 15 Minutes |
Dr. Manali's Advice
Not all PRP is equal. Many clinics use cheap, general-purpose centrifuges that only concentrate platelets by 2x. For hair regrowth, you need a concentration of 5x to 7x. Always ask about the equipment and the concentration protocol—your results depend entirely on the quality of the plasma enrichment.
