What Is PRP Hair Treatment?
PRP stands for Platelet-Rich Plasma. It is one of the most widely used clinical treatments for hair loss and it works using something your body already has. Your own blood. Your blood contains platelets. The platelets have growth factors, which are chemical messengers that signal the body to start healing tissues, making collagen and new growth
By injecting the concentrated PRP into the scalp, these growth factors go right to work in the hair follicle. They stimulate inactive follicles, make weak follicles stronger, and ensure optimal conditions for continuous hair growth.
What makes Avanti Skin Clinic different from most PRP providers in Pune is the biotin-enriched PRP tubes used in every session. Biotin is a B-vitamin with a well-established role in hair strength and follicle health. The tubes used at Avanti Skin Clinic infuse biotin into the PRP during the centrifugation process, so when the plasma is injected into the scalp, the follicle receives both the growth factor stimulus of PRP and the structural support of biotin at the same time. Standard PRP does not include this. This is the default at Avanti Skin Clinic, not an add-on.

What Are the PRP Treatment Options for Hair Loss at Avanti Skin Clinic?
PRP Hair Restoration
This is for patients dealing with hair thinning and reduced hair density. The treatment targets specific zones of the scalp where follicles are weakening and stimulates them to produce fuller, healthier hair. It is particularly effective for patients who have noticed gradual thinning over time and want to address it before it progresses further.
PRP for Hair Loss
This is for patients experiencing active hair loss from androgenetic alopecia, alopecia areata, or diffuse shedding. PRP is injected directly into the affected areas. The growth factors slow down or stop the hair loss process in many patients and promote regrowth in areas where follicles are still active. This is the most common reason patients come in for PRP at Avanti Skin Clinic.
PRP for Hair Growth
This one is for patients who want to improve their overall hair density and quality and not just address active loss. PRP creates a healthier scalp environment that supports stronger and sustained hair growth. It is used by patients who want to maintain what they have, improve thickness, and get ahead of potential loss.
Not sure which applies to your situation? All three use the same biotin-enriched PRP protocol at Avanti. Dr. Avanti assesses your specific condition at the first consultation and tells you which approach makes sense for you.

Which Hair Conditions Does PRP Treat?
Androgenetic alopecia — pattern hair loss
This is the most common reason patients come in for PRP and for alopecia Pune searches, this is the condition most people are dealing with. In men it presents as a receding hairline or thinning at the crown. In women it shows as diffuse thinning across the top of the scalp. PRP slows the miniaturisation of follicles that drives this condition and in many patients reverses early thinning.
Alopecia areata — patchy hair loss
Alopecia areata is an autoimmune condition where the immune system attacks hair follicles, causing distinct bald patches. PRP reduces inflammation around the follicle and delivers growth factors that can reactivate follicles in the affected patches.
Diffuse hair loss
Generalised thinning across the scalp without a specific pattern. It can stem from nutritional gaps, hormonal shifts, chronic illness, or prolonged stress. PRP addresses the follicle environment regardless of the underlying cause and is often used alongside other treatments for diffuse loss.
Post-partum hair loss
Many women experience significant hair shedding during post-partum due to the hormonal shift after delivery. This is called telogen effluvium. Most post-partum hair loss resolves on its own, but for cases that are severe or prolonged, PRP accelerates the return of the normal hair growth cycle.
Traction alopecia
Hair loss caused by prolonged tension on the hair from tight hairstyles, extensions, or headwear. PRP helps restore follicle health in the affected areas once the source of tension has been removed.
How Many PRP Sessions Are Needed?
The number of sessions depends on your hair condition. Here is the breakdown:
Hair Condition | Recommended Sessions | Spacing | Maintenance |
Androgenetic alopecia — mild to moderate | 3 to 4 sessions | Every 4 to 6 weeks | 1 session every 6 months |
Androgenetic alopecia — moderate to severe | 4 to 5 sessions | Every 4 weeks | 1 session every 4 to 6 months |
Alopecia areata | 4 to 6 sessions | Every 3 to 4 weeks | Assessed after initial course |
Diffuse hair loss | 3 to 4 sessions | Every 4 to 6 weeks | 1 session every 6 months |
Post-partum hair loss | 2 to 3 sessions | Every 4 to 6 weeks | Usually not required |
Traction alopecia | 3 to 4 sessions | Every 4 to 6 weeks | 1 session every 6 to 12 months |
Most patients are in the 3 to 5 session range. Dr. Avanti confirms the exact number at your first consultation after assessing your specific condition, the pattern of your hair loss, and how your scalp responds after the first session.
How PRP for Hair Works — Step by Step
Step 1: Scalp cleansing (5 minutes)
The scalp is thoroughly cleaned before anything begins. Oil, product, or residue on the scalp can interfere with absorption after the injections.
Step 2: Topical numbing (20 to 30 minutes)
A numbing cream is applied to the scalp and left to work for 20 to 30 minutes.
Step 3: Blood draw (5 to 10 minutes)
A small amount of blood is drawn from the arm(the same process as a standard blood test).
Step 4: Centrifugation with biotin-enriched tubes (10 to 15 minutes)
The blood goes into a centrifuge that spins it at high speed to separate the components. The platelet-rich plasma layer is isolated. At Avanti Skin Clinic, biotin-enriched PRP tubes are used at this step. The biotin integrates into the PRP during centrifugation.
Step 5: Scalp injection (15 to 20 minutes)
The concentrated, biotin-enriched PRP is injected into the scalp using a fine needle. Dr. Avanti injects at specific points across the treatment area like hairline, crown, or diffuse thinning zones depending on your hair loss pattern. Depth and distribution are adjusted session by session based on how your scalp is responding.
Step 6: Post-treatment application (5 minutes)
A soothing application is applied to the scalp to calm any redness from the injections. Dr. Avanti reviews your aftercare instructions with you before you leave.
Total session time is 45 to 60 minutes. You go straight back to your day after the session.

PRP vs Hair Transplant — Which Is Right for You?
This is one of the most common questions at consultations. Both treat hair loss but they work completely differently and suit different patients.
Factor | PRP Hair Treatment | Hair Transplant |
How it works | Stimulates existing weakened follicles to grow | Moves follicles from donor area to thinning area |
Invasiveness | Non-surgical injections | Surgical procedure |
Downtime | None — back to normal the same day | 7 to 14 days recovery |
Cost | Rs. 4,500 per session; 3 to 5 session course | Rs. 50,000 to Rs. 1,50,000+ depending on grafts |
Results timeline | Visible improvement from 2 to 3 months | Visible results from 6 to 12 months |
Permanence | Maintenance sessions needed every 6 months | More permanent when donor area is stable |
Best for | Early to moderate loss with active follicles | Advanced loss where follicles are already gone |
Suitable for women | Yes | Less commonly used |
Risk level | Minimal (uses your own blood) | Surgical risks, scarring, infection risk |
PRP is the better starting point for patients who still have living but weakened follicles. Hair transplant makes sense when follicles are permanently gone and there is enough donor hair. Many patients do both: PRP to strengthen existing hair before a transplant, or PRP to maintain results after surgery.
Dr. Avanti tells you at your consultation which suits your situation.
PRP vs Minoxidil and Other Hair Loss Treatments
Many patients arrive having already tried minoxidil or other over-the-counter treatments. Here is how PRP compares:
Factor | PRP | Minoxidil | LLLT Laser Cap |
How it works | Growth factors stimulate follicles from inside | Widens blood vessels to increase follicle blood flow | Low-level laser light stimulates follicle energy |
Application | In-clinic injections | Daily topical at home | Home device used several times per week |
Requires daily use | No | Yes — stop and shedding resumes | Yes — ongoing |
Results timeline | 2 to 3 months | 3 to 6 months | 3 to 6 months |
Side effects | Minimal | Scalp irritation, initial shedding, facial hair in women | Minimal |
Best for | Clinical-grade results; moderate to significant loss | Mild loss; daily maintenance | Mild loss; home management |
PRP and minoxidil are frequently used together because they work through different mechanisms. Combining them often produces better results than either alone. Dr. Avanti advises on combination options at your consultation.
PRP Hair Treatment for Men in Pune
PRP hair treatment for men is one of the most effective non-surgical options for androgenetic alopecia(male pattern baldness). In men, this typically starts as a receding hairline or crown thinning and progresses as follicles miniaturise over time.
PRP works best in the early to moderate stages when follicles are weakened but still alive. The growth factors slow miniaturisation and in many cases stimulate regrowth in recently thinned areas. For PRP for male pattern baldness in Pune, earlier is always better.
Most men need 4 to 5 sessions every 4 weeks, followed by maintenance every 4 to 6 months with no downtime. Dr. Avanti has treated a consistently growing number of male patients at the Aundh clinic for pattern baldness specifically. The treatment protocol is the same as for female patients as no separate process is needed.
Who Should Get PRP Hair Treatment and Who Should Wait
Good candidates:
• Anyone with early to moderate hair thinning that has not responded to over-the-counter treatments.
• Patients with androgenetic alopecia in the early to moderate stage.
• Women with diffuse hair loss or post-partum shedding.
• Men with a receding hairline or crown thinning.
• Patients with alopecia areata wanting a non-medication approach.
• Anyone wanting to slow progressive hair loss and maintain existing density.
Who should wait or consult first:
• Patients with active scalp infections or open wounds.
• Anyone with a blood clotting disorder or on anticoagulant medication.
• Patients with platelet dysfunction syndrome.
• Pregnant patients as PRP is not recommended during pregnancy.
• Patients with very advanced hair loss where follicles are already permanently gone.
If you are unsure which category you fall into, the first consultation is the place to find out before spending anything.
