PRP hair therapy and hair transplantation are both effective treatments for addressing hair loss in women, particularly progressive, permanent hair thinning. Learn how they work and when they are recommended alone or in combination.

Many women experience hair loss due to various factors, including stress, genetics, nutritional deficiencies, hormonal fluctuations, underlying medical conditions, or aggressive hair care/styling. Depending on the reason for their hair loss, there are multiple treatment options available. However, when it comes to restoring significantly lost natural hair in women, qualified doctors offer ideal solutions for managing hair loss in women in Gurgaon.

PRP Hair Therapy for Female

PRP hair therapy is a non-surgical procedure involving the injection of platelet-enriched plasma in the thinning or balding areas of the scalp. The PRP injections are prepared after centrifugation of the patient’s blood. It is concentrated with natural growth factors that are released by the blood platelets. These growth factors, along with essential proteins, aid in improving blood supply, stimulating hair follicles, encouraging growth, and increasing hair thickness and density.

This option is preferred for women with hair thinning or an early stage of hair loss, who still have active hair follicles. The desired results are achieved after multiple sessions with a week's gap, and touch-up PRP injections are a must to maintain the results.

Hair Transplant for Female

Hair transplant is a surgical procedure that involves moving healthy hair follicles from the donor site (usually the back or side of the scalp) to the recipient site (the areas affected by hair loss). There are two basic methods of performing the surgery, each varying in how the hair grafts are harvested. One is the conventional approach called Follicular Unit Strip Surgery/Transplantation, and the other is a newer approach called Follicular Unit Extraction.

Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) is preferred for scar-free treatment of significant or advanced hair loss in women. It involves the use of a micro-punch device to remove the hair follicles for transplant directly. The individual hair follicle units are strategically placed in micro-slits created in the recipient site at precise depth, angle, and orientation to ensure realistic-looking results. The desired results are typically achieved within about a year after the surgery. The new hair grows for a lifetime.

Combination Therapy for Hair Loss in Women

Getting PRP hair therapy after a successful hair transplant can provide enhanced results. The PRP solution after hair transplant works to improve the health of the transplanted and existing hair follicles and even encourages healing.

This combination is preferred for women with both hair thinning and considerable hair loss or as an ongoing maintenance option following hair transplantation to boost healthy, thicker hair growth.
