PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) hair treatment has become one of the most sought-after procedures for hair loss at Ageless Smile & Aesthetics in Gurgaon — and for good reason. It uses your body's own growth factors to reactivate dormant follicles, strengthen thinning hair, and stimulate new growth. No surgery, no synthetic chemicals, no significant downtime. Here is a complete guide to what actually happens during PRP hair treatment and what you can realistically expect.
How PRP Hair Treatment Works
Platelets are tiny blood cells packed with growth factors — proteins that signal tissue to repair and regenerate. In PRP hair therapy, your blood's platelet concentration is amplified and injected directly into the scalp. These growth factors stimulate the hair follicle's stem cells, prolong the growth phase of the hair cycle, increase blood supply to the follicle, and reactivate follicles that have miniaturised due to androgenetic alopecia.
Who Is a Good Candidate for PRP Hair Treatment?
- Androgenetic alopecia (male and female pattern baldness) — early to moderate stages
- Telogen effluvium (diffuse shedding) following stress, illness, or hormonal change
- Thinning hair at the crown or hairline with miniaturised but active follicles
- Anyone who wants to prevent further hair loss and strengthen existing hair
- Patients seeking a natural, non-surgical treatment option
PRP works best when there are still active follicles present. Advanced hair loss with completely scarred follicles will not respond to PRP. A consultation and scalp assessment will determine your suitability.
The PRP Hair Treatment Procedure — Step by Step
Step 1: Scalp Assessment & Blood Draw
Your appointment begins with a scalp assessment to map the pattern and density of hair loss. A small amount of blood is then drawn from your arm — similar to a routine blood test.
Step 2: PRP Preparation
The blood is centrifuged to separate and concentrate the platelet-rich plasma. This golden-coloured liquid — approximately 4–5 times the normal platelet concentration — is what will be injected into your scalp.
Step 3: Scalp Numbing
A topical anaesthetic cream is applied to the scalp and left for 20–30 minutes to ensure the injections are as comfortable as possible.
Step 4: PRP Injections
The concentrated PRP is injected into the scalp at multiple points across the affected areas using a fine needle. The injections are placed at the level of the hair follicle — approximately 2–3mm deep. The process takes 20–30 minutes.
Step 5: Post-Treatment
The entire appointment takes approximately 60–75 minutes. You can wash your hair normally from the next day. Most patients return to normal activities immediately.
At Ageless Smile & Aesthetics, PRP hair treatment is performed personally by Dr Sameera Dawar. Her medical background ensures precise, hygienic injection technique and accurate assessment of your hair loss pattern — not a technician following a protocol.
Results Timeline: What to Expect Month by Month
- Weeks 1–4: Reduced hair shedding (the first and most encouraging sign)
- Months 2–3: Fine new hairs appearing in thinning areas
- Months 3–4: Noticeable improvement in hair density and thickness
- Month 6: Full evaluation of results — most patients see 30–40% improvement in density
Aftercare and Maintenance
- Avoid washing your hair for 24 hours after treatment
- Avoid sun exposure on the scalp for 48 hours
- Do not apply any hair products (serums, sprays) for 24 hours
- Avoid strenuous exercise for 24 hours
- Maintenance sessions every 4–6 months sustain results long-term
Combining PRP with Other Hair Loss Treatments
PRP is most effective as part of a comprehensive hair loss protocol. At Ageless, we frequently combine PRP with nutritional correction, topical or oral minoxidil, and in some cases, low-level laser therapy. The combination approach consistently delivers better results than any single treatment alone.
“PRP does not just slow hair loss — when started early enough, it can genuinely reverse it. The key is not waiting.”
