PRP hair treatment is one of the safest and most effective non-surgical treatments for hair loss and thinning issues. A PRP specialist will take the patient's blood and separate platelet-rich plasma using a centrifuge machine. This separated solution will then be injected into the patient's scalp for hair regrowth. This process helps restore lost hair and reduce hair fall.

PRP hair treatment is a potent alternative to Minoxidil treatment. PRP uses the patient's platelet-rich plasma for hair regrowth, while Minoxidil is an external solution to stimulate hair growth. Minoxidil will work only as long as you use it, and hair fall will begin once the treatment is stopped. On the other hand, PRP treatment offers long-lasting results that can reverse hair loss and regrow your mane.

Typically, PRP hair treatment is not painful. However, some patients can feel temporary discomfort, tenderness, soreness, and sometimes mild pain. Your doctor may suggest numbing cream or local anaesthesia to manage pain and discomfort. The chances of pain are significantly less when you get treatment from the best doctor for hair PRP treatment, so go with the experienced ones.

You cannot go for PRP hair treatment every week. You will need a gap of 4-6 weeks before going for the next session. It is generally a safe procedure and trusted treatment by doctors worldwide. Because it involves injecting patients' plasma into their scalp, there are no risks of getting any infectious disease. However, some patients might experience the following side effects of PRP hair therapy:

- Infection
- Injury to nerves or blood vessels
- Pain
- Discomfort
- Scar tissues
- Calcification at treated spots
- Anaesthesia reaction

Most side effects are temporary and will go away in a few days. However, ensure you get your treatment only from a reputed and high-rated clinic.

Typically, most people need 3 to 4 sessions of PRP hair treatment to get the best results. Each session will have about 4-6 weeks intervals and a yearly touch-up session after completing the treatment. The number of sessions of PRP varies based on:

- The severity of hair loss, thinning, and balding
- Body's response to the treatment
- PRP doctor's advice
