Hair loss affects millions of people and can have a significant impact on confidence and quality of life. PRP (platelet-rich plasma) therapy offers a natural, scientifically grounded solution - using the powerful growth factors found in your own blood to stimulate dormant hair follicles, strengthen existing hair, and slow or reverse the process of thinning. At Lavish Aesthetique Clinic in Satellite, Ahmedabad, we also offer Biotin-PRP, an enhanced version of the treatment that combines PRP with biotin for even stronger results. Both treatments are performed by our doctor as part of a comprehensive hair health plan.
How PRP and Biotin-PRP Work
PRP Hair Therapy: A small blood sample is drawn and placed in a centrifuge that spins it at high speed, separating the plasma - which is rich in platelets and growth factors - from the red blood cells. This platelet-rich plasma is then injected into the scalp at the level of the hair follicles using very fine needles. The growth factors (including PDGF, VEGF, EGF, and others) stimulate the follicle cells, improve blood supply to the scalp, and trigger the hair follicles to shift from the resting phase back into an active growth phase.
Biotin-PRP: This enhanced formulation involves combining the PRP with biotin (vitamin B7) before injection. Biotin is essential for hair and nail health and plays a key role in keratin synthesis - the protein that makes up the hair shaft. The combination of PRP's growth factors with biotin's structural support provides a more comprehensive stimulus for hair growth, particularly beneficial for patients with nutritional deficiencies or weakened hair shafts.
Both treatments are entirely natural - they use only substances derived from or compatible with your own body, minimising any risk of adverse reactions.
What to Expect
Each session involves a blood draw (similar to a routine blood test), centrifugation to prepare the PRP, and the scalp injection procedure. The entire appointment takes approximately 45 to 60 minutes. The injections cause mild stinging or a pressure sensation - most patients tolerate this well. There is no significant downtime; the scalp may feel slightly sore or show pinpoint marks for a day or two, but these resolve quickly.
A standard course of 4 to 6 sessions spaced 3 to 4 weeks apart is typically recommended as the initial treatment phase. Patients usually begin to notice less hair shedding within 4 to 8 weeks, with improved hair thickness and early new growth visible at 3 to 6 months. Maintenance sessions every 3 to 6 months help sustain results long term.
Our Approach at Lavish Aesthetique Clinic
Lavish Aesthetique Clinic in Satellite, Ahmedabad is known for providing the best hair loss treatment in Ahmedabad through a personalised, evidence-based approach. Our doctor evaluates each patient's hair loss pattern, medical history, and contributing factors (such as nutritional deficiencies, hormonal imbalances, or stress) before recommending the appropriate treatment. PRP or Biotin-PRP alone may be sufficient for some patients, while others benefit most from a combination of PRP with additional medical hair loss therapy.
We use a validated centrifugation protocol to ensure consistently high platelet concentrations in each PRP preparation - because the quality of the PRP directly determines the quality of the results. Every injection is placed at the correct depth and distribution across the scalp to maximise follicle coverage.
Who Is This Treatment For?
PRP and Biotin-PRP hair therapy are particularly effective for patients with hair fall and early to moderate androgenetic alopecia (pattern hair loss), alopecia areata, and post-illness or stress-related hair thinning. Results are generally better in patients with active but dormant follicles rather than long-standing baldness where follicles have been permanently lost. An early start is always advantageous.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is PRP effective for pattern hair loss (androgenetic alopecia)? A: Yes, PRP has good clinical evidence supporting its use for androgenetic alopecia in both men and women, particularly in the earlier stages when follicles are miniaturised but not yet permanently lost. It works best as part of a multi-treatment approach that may also include topical or oral medical therapy.
Q: What is the difference between PRP and Biotin-PRP for hair? A: Regular PRP uses the growth factors from your platelet-rich plasma to stimulate follicle activity. Biotin-PRP adds vitamin B7 (biotin) to the preparation, which supports keratin production and hair shaft strength. Biotin-PRP may offer additional benefit for patients with hair thinning linked to nutritional factors or weak, brittle hair.
Q: How long do PRP hair treatment results last? A: The initial improvement in hair density and shedding reduction typically lasts 6 to 12 months after a full treatment course. Maintenance sessions every 3 to 6 months are recommended to sustain results, as the underlying tendency for hair loss does not disappear with PRP alone.
