Hair Restoration
Scientifically Proven Solutions for Hair Growth
Hair loss is rarely just cosmetic - it is often emotional, frustrating, and deeply personal. Our hair restoration treatments are selected to support weaker follicles, improve scalp health, and encourage better hair density where possible. We focus on realistic expectations, proper diagnosis, and a treatment plan that matches the pattern and cause of hair loss.
Why Choose This Treatment?
- Significant reduction in hair fall within 3 sessions
- Thickening of existing hair shafts
- Stimulation of dormant hair follicles
- Safe, natural procedure using your own blood
- Effective for both male and female pattern baldness
Who Is This For?
PRP and GFC hair restoration is most effective for patients with androgenetic alopecia - male or female pattern hair loss - with early-to-moderate thinning. The treatment works best when there are still functioning follicles that can be stimulated. Miniaturised follicles respond to growth factor treatment; completely bald areas without any follicular activity do not. Earlier treatment consistently delivers better outcomes.
Telogen effluvium - sudden, diffuse shedding triggered by stress, illness, nutritional deficiency, or hormonal changes such as post-partum hair loss - also responds well to PRP when combined with correcting the underlying cause. All hair restoration patients at SKIN@Mantraa receive a baseline blood panel (ferritin, Vitamin D3, B12, thyroid, hormonal markers) before treatment begins, as nutritional deficiencies are very common in Indian patients and must be corrected alongside PRP.
Patients on anticoagulant medications, those with platelet disorders or haematological conditions, or those with active scalp infections are not suitable candidates for PRP. Patients who have had inadequate response to standard PRP may benefit from GFC (Growth Factor Concentrate), which delivers a higher concentration of growth factors for more advanced thinning.

What to Expect
Most patients notice a significant reduction in hair fall within 4–6 weeks of starting PRP treatment. Visible density improvement and new hair growth typically become apparent after the second or third session (6–8 weeks in). Maximum results are seen 4–6 months after completing the initial course of 4 sessions. Maintenance sessions every 4–6 months sustain results over the long term. GFC patients typically see faster and more pronounced response than standard PRP.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does PRP hair treatment hurt?
The injections cause mild discomfort. We apply topical anaesthetic cream for 30 to 45 minutes before the procedure, making it well-tolerated by most patients. There is no downtime - patients return to work the same day. Mild scalp tenderness and redness for 24 to 48 hours are normal.
How many PRP sessions are needed for hair loss?
The standard protocol is 4 sessions spaced 3 to 4 weeks apart, followed by maintenance sessions every 4 to 6 months. Most patients notice reduced shedding after sessions 2 to 3, and visible density improvement by the 3 to 4 month mark after completing the initial course.
What is the difference between PRP and GFC for hair?
PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) concentrates platelets from your own blood. GFC (Growth Factor Concentrate) further extracts growth factors at a higher concentration, producing more PDGF, VEGF, and EGF than standard PRP. For moderate-to-advanced thinning or partial response to PRP, GFC is often recommended.
Is PRP effective for female pattern hair loss?
Yes. Female pattern hair loss (diffuse thinning over the crown and mid-scalp) responds well to PRP and GFC. In women, we often combine PRP with topical minoxidil or nutritional supplementation depending on the underlying cause - hormonal, nutritional deficiency, or post-partum.
Do I need a blood test before PRP hair treatment?
Yes. All hair loss patients at SKIN@Mantraa receive a baseline blood panel (ferritin, Vitamin D3, B12, thyroid function, and hormonal markers) before PRP begins. Nutritional deficiencies - especially ferritin and Vitamin D3 - are very common in Indian patients and will offset PRP results if not corrected.
