Hair Regrowth Treatment · MD Dermatologist in Kalyani Nagar, Pune
PRP and GFC growth-factor therapy from your own blood, injected into the scalp to support thicker, healthier hair.
Overview
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and growth factor concentrate (GFC) are both prepared from a small sample of your own blood. The sample is processed to concentrate the platelets and the growth factors they carry, and the concentrate is injected into the thinning areas of the scalp. GFC is a refined preparation with a higher concentration of growth factors, which usually means fewer sessions. The growth factors stimulate resting follicles, improve blood supply and prolong the growth phase of hair.
PRP works best for early to moderate pattern hair loss and diffuse thinning, and as support alongside medical treatment or after a hair transplant. It does not regrow hair on areas that have been bald for years, because the follicles there have gone. Dr. Daksha Patel, an MD dermatologist with a special interest in hair and scalp problems, confirms the diagnosis with trichoscopy before recommending PRP, so patients are not sold sessions that cannot work for them.
Because the material is your own blood, allergic reactions are not a concern, and the procedure is done under sterile conditions at our Kalyani Nagar clinic in under an hour. Most patients in Pune combine PRP with a prescribed home plan of minoxidil, nutritional correction and scalp care, and see reduced shedding within two months.
Options & areas
What To Expect
Trichoscopy grades the thinning and confirms that the follicles are still active. Blood tests for iron, vitamin D, thyroid and other causes are checked first.
About 10 to 20 ml of blood is drawn and spun to separate the platelet-rich plasma, which takes around 15 minutes.
After numbing, the plasma is injected in small amounts across the thinning areas. The injections take 20 to 30 minutes.
Three to four monthly sessions, then maintenance every 3 to 6 months, alongside the prescribed home plan.

Helpful Answers
Studies and our experience support PRP for early to moderate pattern hair loss, especially combined with medical treatment. Results vary between patients, which is why we assess follicle activity first and set expectations honestly.
Numbing cream or a local anaesthetic makes the injections tolerable. Most patients describe pressure and mild stinging, with tenderness for a day.
Since it uses your own blood prepared under sterile conditions, the risk of allergy is not a concern and side effects are limited to temporary soreness or minor bruising. Patients with platelet disorders, active scalp infection or on blood thinners are assessed case by case.
Usually three to four sessions a month apart, followed by maintenance every 3 to 6 months. The exact plan depends on your degree of thinning and how you respond.
GFC delivers a higher concentration of growth factors with fewer platelets and less discomfort, so most patients need three sessions instead of four. PRP remains a good option and costs less per session. Dr. Patel recommends one after assessing your hair loss and budget.
