What is the procedure for PRP treatment in Bangalore?

1. 20ml – 50ml of the blood is withdrawn from the patient’s body using a butterfly needle. The blood is collected in a small tube.

2. The tube that contains blood is put into a machine called a centrifuge. Centrifuge rotates the blood tube in a particular fixed axis to separate the blood as per the density. This centrifuge process takes around 10. And once it’s done the different layers of blood is visible. The blood is now divided into 3 layers:

Red Blood Cells (Bottom Layer)

White Blood Cells & Platelets (Middle Layer)

Platelets Rich Plasma (Top Layer)

3. Now the Platelets Rich Plasma layer is drawn up in a syringe and is injected in the areas where the bald patches appear on the scalp to be treated and to stop hair loss and thinning.

After this, Derma Roller will be used on patient. Derma Roller is a small piece of equipment with tiny pointed needles. It is used on the scalp area where the treatment was done, to stimulate platelet flow. 

Derma roller can also be used by the patient himself at home. This entire process takes around 60 – 90 minutes. And the patient can go back to their work after a few hours. 

A patient might also be recommended for undergoing a Low-level Laser Therapy (LLLT) by the Doctor. LLLT is a cap-like machine that emits and low powered lesser on the head. The entire process lasts for about 20 to 40 minutes. It helps in stimulating healing and enhances cell function.

• City: The cost of PRP treatment varies from city to city, depending on which tier city you choose. Like in the case of Bangalore (Tier 1 city) the expenses will be more than compared to tier 2 or tier 3 cities.
• Doctor’s experience and expertise: A Doctor’s experience and expertise also determine the cost of PRP treatment. If the doctor is highly experienced and popular in that area or he/she is a celebrity surgeon, then they will automatically charge more for the treatment.
• Hospital’s and Clinic’s Reputation: Hospitals and clinics also determine the cost of PRP treatment in Bangalore. Suppose the facility you choose is a brand or have a certain market reputation then they will charge you more for the same.
• Number of sessions required: The cost of PRP treatment also determines the number of sessions required for the patient. And to decide that how many sessions does a patient need is done by the surgeon after seeing the level of baldness and the area of the scalp of the patient to be treated.
• Quality of equipment used: The Quality of equipment used in the treatment also affects the cost. For example- There are several varieties and quality of derma rollers available in the market and their price lies between ₹150 to ₹500. So it’s up to the patients or Doctors that which variety or quality of equipment they go for.

Who should go for PRP treatment?

A person suffering from hair loss and hair thinning can look for PRP treatment. It is best suitable for the person suffering from the primary stage of hair loss. Hair transplant treatment is also followed by the PRP treatment to promote tissue repair, hair growth and to give strength to the hair follicle. PRP treatment won’t work for a person who’s completely bald and it won’t completely regrow all lost hair.

Slight bleeding at the injection spot.

Light pain at the injection spot.
