INTRODUCTION
Hair is the crowning glory this
statement itself conveys the importance hair plays in ones appearance and identity. A head full of
hair is closely related to our perception of beauty, health,
strength, and self confidence.
The hair we have in our young age
is not the same in our adult stage.
The thickness of hair decreases as
we age; this is because the hair life
cycle gets affected as we grow
old. Normally hair loss is expected
post 40s but the change in lifestyle, pollution levels, and other
factors have preponed early hair
loss to 20s.

This stage lasts for 2 to 6 years.
Catagen
phase is the transitional or evolving stage. Almost 3% of all hair are in this phase at any
point of time in life. This phase lasts not more than two to three weeks.
Telogen
phase or the resting phase lasts not more than 3 to 6 months. Normally 10 to 15% of
hair fall out during this stage.

termed as chronic hair loss.

deficiency of nutrients like Iron, Vit B12 ,Zinc ,Calcium, Proteins, Selenium, biotin etcchronic diseases like thyroid, chronic kidney failure, liver failure, cancer, etc. Patterned
hair loss sufferers inherits hair follicles with a genetic sensitivity to an androgen, DHT
(Dihydrotestosterone).

DHT
(DIHYDROTESTOSTERONE)
DHT
Dihydrotestosterone
5-alpha
DHT is the active androgen hormone derived from testosterone. An enzyme named
as 5-alpha reductase converts testosterone into DHT or Dihydrotestosterone.
DHT converts normal long, thick, pigmented hair (terminal hair) to short, fine, light
coloured hair (vellus hair) resulting in miniaturised hairs leading to baldness.

FAQS
I have hair loss; can I go for PRP directly?
PRP is a medical procedure hence initial consultation of Dermato-trichologist is essential
before undergoing the treatment. The doctor assesses the scalp, the kind of hair loss,
hair fall severity, health condition and other essential factors before deciding on the
treatment.
This therapy is for everyone who has genetic hair loss or patterned baldness, be it male
or female. The treatment is suitable at any age depending on the type and severity of
hair loss preferably above 18 years of age. However, the few contradictions for PRP hair
loss treatment or person who cannot go through this treatment are:

Clients on anticoagulant drugs
Heavy Smokers
What is PRP Hair Treatment?
The PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) is a concentrated form of your own platelets. The platelets
which are rich in bioactive proteins are extracted from your own blood (usually drawn
from your arm). Platelets are separated from the blood through centrifuge machine.
Later, the PRP is activated and then injected into the scalp in thinning areas through tiny
syringes. Thus PRP is delivered right at the hair root which is in the miniaturization phase.
This results in a rejuvenated hair growth as the hair follicle gets repaired.
How does PRP work in improving hair?
Once the injections are given, the activated platelets secrete an initial burst of growth
factors such as the VEGF that stimulates production of new blood vessels, platelet derived growth factor that activates wound healing mechanisms and TGF beta that enables new epidermal and hair cells to develop. After the initial burst, the platelets synthesize and secrete additional growth factors for the remaining 7 days of their life span.
22
Once the platelets are exhausted, the white blood cells are attracted by the growth factors to the area of injection and they also secrete growth factors and carry out the same
functions.
Why choose PRP Treatment above other hair restoration techniques?
PRP treatment is the only technique of hair restoration which doesnt involve any cuts or
surgeries but has effective results. The added benefits of no side effects and fast lunch
hour procedure make it a hot favourite.
What are the side effects of PRP hair loss treatment?
There are absolutely no major side effects except for a temporary numbness, swelling
or heavy-headedness. The procedure uses ones own blood and thus the potential
problems of rejection or allergies are eliminated.
Does it hurt during the procedure?
It is conveniently painless. However, candidate with low pain tolerance levels can ask
the doctor for topical or local anaesthesia. For rare cases, doctors can also opt for intravenous sleep sedation or general anaesthesia and be in complete sleep during the procedure.
Who is ideal for PRP Hair Loss treatment?
If you have a genetic or patterned hair loss, then PRP works effectively as an adjuvant to
the medical treatment. This is more suitable for areas of utmost concerns such as receding hairline and crown areas.
How many sessions are required? What is the duration of each session?
The number of sessions depends on the stage of hair loss. But, a minimum of 6-10 sessions are required which are done at monthly intervals. The duration of the session is
about 1hr with injection part being done in 5-8 min only.
