PRP Hair Treatment in Bangalore: Cost, Sessions and Candidate Guide
PRP hair treatment uses platelet-rich plasma prepared from the patient's own blood and administered into selected scalp areas. Led by our dermatologist, we utilize advanced growth factor concentration for superior hair regrowth in Rajajinagar.
What is PRP Hair Treatment?
Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy is a non-surgical hair restoration treatment that uses your blood's natural healing properties to stimulate hair growth. The treatment involves extracting platelets from your blood and injecting them into your scalp to promote hair follicle regeneration.
Natural Treatment
Uses your own blood platelets, using the patient’s own blood platelets. This avoids the risk of allergic reactions from external substances, though individual responses may vary.
Research-Supported
PRP has been studied for hair loss in clinical settings. Individual responses vary and outcomes are not guaranteed.
Quick Recovery
Minimal downtime with most patients resuming normal activities immediately after treatment.
Variable Response
Hair cycle changes take time. Response varies between patients; ongoing hair loss may continue and maintenance may be considered.
How PRP Hair Treatment Works
Blood Collection
A small amount of blood is drawn from your arm, similar to a routine blood test.
Centrifugation
Blood is placed in a centrifuge to separate and concentrate the platelet-rich plasma.
Scalp Preparation
The treatment area is cleaned and a numbing agent is applied for your comfort.
PRP Injection
The concentrated PRP is carefully injected into areas of hair thinning on your scalp.
Post-Treatment
You can return to normal activities with minimal restrictions. Results develop over time.

The Science Behind PRP Hair Therapy
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) therapy harnesses the natural healing power of your own blood platelets. Platelets contain alpha granules loaded with growth factors including Platelet-Derived Growth Factor (PDGF), Transforming Growth Factor Beta (TGF-β), Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF), and Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF). When injected into the scalp, these growth factors directly stimulate the dermal papilla cells at the base of each hair follicle.
The mechanism works in three ways: first, VEGF triggers the formation of new capillaries around follicles, dramatically improving blood supply and nutrient delivery. Second, PDGF activates follicle stem cells that have entered a dormant phase due to DHT sensitivity or chronic stress. Third, TGF-β prolongs the anagen (active growth) phase while delaying premature entry into the telogen (resting) phase. The net result is thicker hair shafts, reduced shedding, and gradually increasing hair density over 4–6 months of treatment.
At Sanjeevani Cos Derma, we prepare PRP using a double-spin centrifugation protocol that achieves a 4–6x platelet concentration — significantly higher than the baseline concentration seen in standard single-spin systems used at many clinics.
PRP vs Other Hair Loss Treatments: Full Comparison
PRP sits in a unique position — more proven than most topical treatments, more affordable than surgical hair transplant, and completely natural unlike medication-based options.
| Treatment | Type | Side Effects | Result Time | Cost Range |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| PRP Therapy | Biological | Minimal | 4–6 months | ₹11,999 / 5 sessions |
| Minoxidil (Topical) | Chemical | Scalp irritation, initial shedding | 6–12 months | ₹300–₹800/month (ongoing) |
| Finasteride (Oral) | Hormonal | Possible libido changes | 6–12 months | ₹500–₹1,500/month (ongoing) |
| GFC Therapy | Biological (advanced) | Minimal | 2–3 months | ₹6,500–₹8,000/session |
| Hair Transplant | Surgical | Downtime 7–10 days | 10–12 months (final) | ₹50,000–₹1,50,000+ |
PRP is the ideal choice for patients in the early-to-moderate stages of hair loss who want a clinically validated, natural treatment without the risk profile of daily medication or the cost and downtime of surgery. It is also frequently recommended as a maintenance treatment after hair transplant surgery to protect existing grafts.
Before, During & After Your PRP Session at Sanjeevani
Preparation (2–3 Days Before)
Stop aspirin, ibuprofen, and blood thinners 5 days prior. Avoid alcohol 48 hours before. Stay well hydrated — good hydration directly improves platelet quality. Eat a protein-rich meal on the morning of your session. Wash hair with a mild shampoo; avoid styling products.
The Procedure (45–60 Minutes)
A small blood sample (20–30 ml) is drawn, centrifuged twice to concentrate platelets, and the resulting plasma is activated before injection. We apply topical anaesthetic to the scalp and use microneedle injections spaced 1 cm apart across thinning zones. Most patients experience mild pressure — not pain. You can drive home immediately after.
Aftercare (First 48 Hours)
Avoid washing hair for 8 hours. Skip the gym, swimming, or steam rooms for 24 hours. Mild redness or tenderness at injection sites is normal and resolves within 24 hours. Avoid direct harsh sunlight on the scalp for 2 days. Expect a temporary shedding phase in weeks 2–4 — this is a positive sign of follicle activation, not failure.
Why Patients Choose Sanjeevani Cos Derma for PRP in Bangalore
With dozens of clinics offering PRP in Bangalore, the quality of results varies enormously based on the preparation method, platelet concentration achieved, injection technique, and whether a qualified doctor performs the procedure. At Sanjeevani Cos Derma in Rajajinagar, every session meets clinical-grade standards.
Dermatologist-Performed
Unlike clinics where PRP is administered by technicians, every injection at Sanjeevani is performed by our qualified dermatologist — ensuring correct depth, spacing, and dosage for each patient's specific loss pattern.
Double-Spin Centrifugation
Our double-spin PRP protocol achieves 4–6x platelet concentration — clinically proven to produce better outcomes than single-spin systems. Higher concentration means more growth factors delivered to each follicle per session.
Trichoscopy-Guided Assessment
Before your first session, we perform a trichoscopy analysis to map your hair density, follicle miniaturisation pattern, and scalp health. This gives us a baseline to track your progress and adjust the treatment plan — rather than guessing.
Our clinic is located in Rajajinagar, accessible from Malleswaram, Vijayanagar, Yeshwanthpur, and central Bengaluru. Compare PRP with our advanced GFC treatment to see which option is right for your hair loss stage.
Can PRP Regrow Hair on a Completely Bald Area?
PRP is intended to support existing viable follicles and should not be presented as a treatment capable of creating new follicles in areas where functioning follicles are absent.
Clinical assessment is needed to determine whether functional follicles are still present. For areas with significant permanent follicle loss, a hair transplant treatment consultation may be more appropriate.
Who May Have Limited Benefit from PRP?
PRP may have limited value in certain situations, including:
- Areas where functioning follicles are no longer present
- Scarring alopecia, where follicles have been permanently affected
- Active scalp infection or untreated scalp disease
- Hair loss requiring a different primary approach based on the diagnosis
- Presence of contraindications identified during clinical assessment
An accurate diagnosis before beginning any treatment is important. Clinical assessment is required before recommending PRP.
Potential Contraindications and Important Considerations
Before proceeding with PRP, the clinic will review whether any of the following apply:
- Active scalp infection or skin condition at the treatment site
- Bleeding or clotting concerns
- Significant underlying medical conditions
- Relevant medications
- Unexplained sudden hair loss (requiring diagnosis first)
PRP should not be used as a substitute for diagnosing the cause of hair loss. A clinical assessment is required before any treatment is recommended.
Diagnosis Before PRP
Hair loss can have multiple causes. PRP is not appropriate for every type of hair loss and does not replace proper diagnosis. Common causes include:
- Androgenetic alopecia (hormonal pattern loss)
- Telogen effluvium (stress or nutritional trigger)
- Nutritional deficiency
- Thyroid-related changes
- Autoimmune conditions
- Scalp disorders
At Sanjeevani Cos Derma, a clinical assessment is conducted before recommending PRP to determine whether it is appropriate for your specific type and stage of hair loss.
PRP vs Hair Transplant
PRP and hair transplantation serve different purposes:
- PRP hair treatment may support existing viable follicles and is typically considered for patients with early-to-moderate thinning where follicles remain present.
- Hair transplant treatment relocates follicles from a donor area to areas requiring restoration, and is typically considered when follicle loss is more advanced.
PRP should not be presented as a substitute for transplantation where significant permanent follicle loss has occurred. A clinical assessment will help determine which approach is appropriate for your situation. Also see our donor area assessment guide for more information about transplant candidacy.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is PRP hair treatment?
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) hair treatment involves drawing a small amount of the patient's blood, processing it to concentrate platelets, and administering the resulting plasma into selected scalp areas. It is intended to support existing hair follicles in patients where viable follicles are still present.
How much does PRP hair treatment cost in Bangalore?
At Sanjeevani Cos Derma in Rajajinagar, the current pricing is ₹11,999 for 5 sessions. Pricing and session planning depend on clinical assessment; not all patients require the same number of sessions.
How many PRP sessions are needed?
The number of sessions is individualized based on the diagnosis, severity and degree of thinning, and the patient's response. A package of 5 sessions is offered; however, clinical requirement and package structure are separate considerations. Maintenance may be considered in some cases.
Can PRP regrow hair in completely bald areas?
PRP is intended to support existing viable follicles. It should not be presented as capable of creating new follicles in areas where functioning follicles are no longer present. Clinical assessment is required to determine whether functional follicles remain in any given area.
Is PRP better than GFC?
Neither PRP nor GFC hair treatment is universally better than the other. Treatment selection depends on clinical assessment, the patient's diagnosis, and individual factors. Both use the patient's own biological material to support hair follicles. A consultation is required to determine which may be appropriate.
Is PRP hair treatment painful?
Discomfort during PRP varies between patients. A topical anaesthetic is typically applied before the procedure to help manage discomfort. Mild tenderness, redness or swelling at injection sites is common and usually resolves within 24–48 hours.
Are PRP hair treatment results permanent?
PRP results are not permanent. Hair loss is often a progressive condition, and ongoing treatment or maintenance may be needed. Results vary between patients and are not guaranteed. Clinical assessment and realistic expectations are important before starting treatment.
Who may be a suitable candidate for PRP?
PRP may be considered for selected patients with early-to-moderate thinning, androgenetic hair loss with viable follicles still present, or diffuse thinning where follicles remain functional. Suitability must be assessed clinically. PRP is not appropriate for all hair loss types.
Can women undergo PRP hair treatment?
PRP may be considered for women experiencing certain types of hair thinning, including androgenetic hair loss. Suitability depends on the cause and stage of hair loss, scalp condition, medical history and clinical assessment. Not all presentations of hair loss in women are equally suitable.
Does PRP work for every type of hair loss?
No. PRP is not appropriate for every type of hair loss. It is not effective where functioning follicles are absent, where scarring alopecia is present, or where the hair loss requires a different primary approach based on the underlying diagnosis. An accurate diagnosis is essential before recommending any treatment.
