PRP hair treatment uses a small amount of your own blood to strengthen weak hair roots and slow hair fall. At CBLM Holy Family Hospital, Jaipur, the doctor checks the cause of your hair loss first, so PRP is only advised when it can actually help.
Hair loss, called alopecia by doctors, can start at any age and shows up in different ways. PRP works best when it starts early, while the hair roots are still alive, so it pays to see a doctor when you first notice these signs.
Thinning on the top of the scalp or a widening parting
Round or patchy bald spots on the scalp or beard
More hair than usual on the pillow, comb or bathroom floor
Heavy shedding a few months after an illness, surgery or childbirth
A receding hairline at the forehead or temples
An itchy, flaky or red scalp before the hair starts falling
PRP stands for platelet-rich plasma. The doctor draws a small amount of your blood, spins it in a centrifuge to separate the platelets, and injects this concentrated plasma into the thinning areas of your scalp. Platelets carry growth factors such as PDGF, VEGF and TGF-β, which help weak follicles grow thicker hair for longer. Your first visit takes about an hour, and the injections themselves take around 20 minutes.
PDGF, VEGF and TGF-β help weak follicles grow stronger hair
Nothing foreign goes into your scalp, so allergic reactions are very unlikely
Most people return to their normal routine straight after a session
Finding the cause decides whether PRP will help. Our doctors look at your scalp, your health history and, when needed, your blood reports before suggesting any treatment.
Male and female pattern baldness, called androgenetic alopecia, is the most common cause. The follicles slowly shrink because they are sensitive to the hormone DHT. PRP works best here when it is started early.
Thyroid problems, PCOS, pregnancy and menopause can all thin the hair, especially in women. Treating the hormone problem comes first, and PRP can then help the hair grow back thicker.
Low iron, zinc, vitamin D, vitamin B12 or protein starves the hair roots and causes shedding all over the scalp. A simple blood test finds this, and correcting it is part of your treatment plan.
A high fever, surgery, sudden weight loss or severe stress can push many hairs into their resting phase at once. This shedding, called telogen effluvium, usually shows up two to three months later.
Alopecia areata, fungal infections, psoriasis and lichen planus all disturb normal hair growth. Some of these need medicine before PRP, and a few need other specialist care, so a proper diagnosis comes first.
Some blood pressure medicines, blood thinners, antidepressants and cancer treatments can cause hair fall. Tell the doctor about every medicine you take, because some of them also affect whether PRP is safe for you.
PRP helps living hair roots grow stronger. It cannot grow new hair on a patch of scalp that has been completely bald for years, which is why the doctor checks your suitability first.
PRP is popular because it is simple, uses your own blood and fits around work and family. These are the benefits patients notice most.
There are no cuts, no stitches and no general anaesthesia. PRP is done with fine needles in a procedure room, so it suits people who want to avoid surgery.
PRP is made from your own blood, so no foreign substance goes into your scalp. Allergic reactions are very unlikely.
Many patients notice less shedding after the first two sessions, and thicker new hair usually shows between three and six months.
Each session takes about 45 minutes to an hour, and most people go back to work the same day.
PRP can be combined with minoxidil, medicines prescribed by your doctor or a hair transplant to support the results.
After the first course, a maintenance session every four to six months helps keep the improvement going.
Most people need three to four sessions, four to six weeks apart. Results build slowly, so judge PRP at the six-month mark, not after the first visit.
| When | What Happens | What You May Notice |
|---|---|---|
| Week 0 | First session, after your scalp check | Mild tenderness for a day or two |
| Week 4 to 6 | Second session | Hair fall starts to slow for many patients |
| Week 8 to 12 | Third session | Less hair on the comb and in the shower |
| Week 12 to 18 | Fourth session, if the doctor advises it | Fine new hairs in the thinning areas |
| Month 4 to 6 | Review visit with progress photos | Thicker, fuller hair in the treated areas |
| Every 4 to 6 months | Maintenance session | The improvement is kept going |
Each option does a different job, and many patients use more than one. This table shows how they compare, so you can discuss the right mix with the doctor.

| How Long It Lasts | Needs maintenance sessions | Works while you keep using it | Transplanted hair is usually permanent |
| Common Side Effects | Mild tenderness or redness for 1 to 3 days | Scalp irritation, and hormonal side effects from finasteride in a small number of men | Swelling, small scabs and temporary shedding |
PRP is a simple procedure, but the result depends on who diagnoses you, how the plasma is prepared and whether someone follows up with you. Here is what you get at CBLM.
Your scalp is checked by the hair restoration team led by Dr. Pankaj Agarwal, MBBS, MS, who has more than 10 years of experience in hair transplant and PRP. You get an honest answer on whether PRP, medicine or a transplant will help most.
Your blood is drawn, spun and injected in one visit, using sterile, single-use needles and tubes. The plasma is prepared in front of you and used straight away.
We look at your hair loss pattern, scalp health and blood reports before planning sessions, so PRP is combined with any medicine or diet change you need.
Every blood draw and injection is done under sterile conditions in a hospital procedure room, with trained nursing staff beside the doctor.
CBLM is a multi-speciality hospital with a 24/7 blood bank and emergency care, so help is close at hand for any other health concern the check-up finds.
We track your progress with photos at each visit and change the plan if your hair is not responding as expected.
When hair loss has gone too far for PRP alone, the same team can plan a hair transplant under local anaesthesia. PRP is also used alongside a transplant to help the new grafts settle.

Here is exactly what happens on the day of your PRP session at CBLM, from the first check to going home.
The doctor examines your scalp under magnification, asks about your health and medicines, and confirms that PRP suits your type of hair loss. You leave with a clear plan for the number of sessions.
About 10 to 20 ml of blood is taken from your arm, just like a routine blood test.
Your blood is spun in a centrifuge to separate the platelet-rich plasma, which holds several times more platelets than normal blood.
A numbing cream is applied first. The doctor then injects the plasma into the thinning areas with very fine needles. Most people feel pressure or mild pricking rather than pain.
You can go home and return to normal work straight away. Mild tenderness or redness for a day or two is normal and settles on its own. Your next session is booked four to six weeks later.
A few simple steps before and after each session help you get the best result and keep your scalp comfortable.

PRP hair treatment in Jaipur usually costs about ₹3,000 to ₹8,000 per session, and most people need three to four sessions. Your exact cost at CBLM Holy Family Hospital depends on the area being treated and the number of sessions the doctor advises, and you get the full cost before you start.
Most people feel mild pricking or pressure rather than pain. A numbing cream is applied to the scalp before the injections, and the injection part takes about 20 minutes. The scalp may feel tender for a day or two afterwards, which settles on its own.
Most people need three to four sessions spaced four to six weeks apart. Many notice less hair fall after the second session, and new growth usually shows between three and six months. After that, a maintenance session every four to six months helps keep the results.
No. PRP strengthens the hair you have and slows hair fall, but it does not stop genetic or hormonal hair loss for good. Results from a first course usually last about a year, and maintenance sessions every four to six months help keep them.
PRP works best for early to moderate hair loss, such as Norwood grades 1 to 4 in men and Ludwig grades 1 to 2 in women, and for shedding after illness or stress. It needs living hair roots, so it cannot regrow hair on areas that have been fully bald for years.
Yes. PRP is often used for thinning at the parting or crown in women, and for hair fall after pregnancy or illness. Because thyroid problems, PCOS and low iron are common causes in women, the doctor usually checks blood reports before starting PRP.
Yes. PRP is often given before or after a hair transplant to help the new grafts settle and to strengthen the existing hair around them. Bio-FUE and Bio-DHT transplants at CBLM Holy Family Hospital already include PRP as part of the procedure.
PRP is a very safe procedure because it uses your own blood. Mild scalp tenderness, redness, swelling or a headache can occur for one to three days. Infection is rare when the procedure is done under sterile conditions, as it is at CBLM Holy Family Hospital.
PRP strengthens weak hair roots that are still alive, so it suits early to moderate thinning. A hair transplant moves healthy roots from the back of the head into bald areas, so it suits advanced baldness. Many patients start with PRP and move to a transplant later if needed.
Yes. Most people go back to work the same day. Avoid washing your hair for about 6 to 8 hours, and skip heavy exercise, swimming and hair colour for a day or two afterwards. Mild tenderness, if any, does not stop normal daily work.
Usually not. PRP for hair loss is treated as a cosmetic procedure, so most insurance policies, RGHS and Chiranjeevi Yojana do not cover it. The hospital does accept these schemes for eligible treatments, and our front desk can check your case.
Many people notice less hair fall within four to eight weeks. New, thicker hair usually becomes visible between three and six months, once the full course is under way. Photos taken at each follow-up visit make the change easier to see.
