PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) Therapy

What is PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) Therapy? 

PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) Therapy is a treatment that uses a person’s own blood to help heal and rejuvenate tissues. A small amount of blood is drawn, processed in a machine to concentrate the platelets (which are rich in growth factors), and then injected into the targeted area such as the scalp for hair growth, the skin for anti-aging, or joints for pain relief. These platelets help stimulate natural healing and repair. It’s a minimally invasive, safe, and natural procedure commonly used in cosmetic and orthopedic treatments.

What is (Platelet-Rich Plasma) Therapy Used for?

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy is used for a variety of medical and cosmetic purposes, including:

• Hair Restoration: To stimulate hair growth in cases of thinning hair or early hair loss.

• Skin Rejuvenation: To reduce wrinkles, improve skin texture, and treat acne scars or dull skin.

• Joint and Muscle Injuries: To help heal tendons, ligaments, and joints especially in sports injuries.

• Wound Healing: To speed up healing in chronic wounds or after surgeries.

• Post-Surgical Recovery: To enhance tissue repair and reduce downtime.

It uses your body’s own healing power to naturally repair and regenerate tissue.

Why Do People consider (Platelet-Rich Plasma) Therapy?

• 1. Cosmetic Reasons:

• To reduce fine lines, wrinkles, and signs of aging

• To improve skin tone, texture, and overall glow

• To stimulate hair regrowth in areas of thinning or early baldness

• 2. Functional Reasons:

• To promote faster healing of tendons, ligaments, joints, and muscles

• To reduce inflammation and pain in orthopedic or sports injuries

• To enhance recovery after surgeries or trauma

• 3. Other Reasons:

• Minimally invasive with low risk of allergic reactions (since it uses your own blood)

• Natural, regenerative treatment option without the need for foreign substances

• Can be combined with other treatments for better outcome​

Who Qualifies for (Platelet-Rich Plasma) Therapy? 

PRP therapy is suitable for individuals in generally good health who are seeking natural, minimally invasive solutions for hair loss, skin rejuvenation, or soft tissue healing. Ideal candidates include those with early-stage hair thinning, mild skin aging, or musculoskeletal injuries such as tendonitis or joint pain. People with realistic expectations, no major blood disorders, infections, or active cancers typically qualify. It is also well-suited for patients who prefer treatments using their own body’s healing properties rather than synthetic products. A medical evaluation is essential to confirm eligibility.

Dr Vicky Jain Approach to (Platelet-Rich Plasma) Therapy

Dr. Vicky Jain adopts a natural, precision‑focused method when performing PRP therapy. He begins with a detailed consultation to understand your goals whether it’s boosting hair growth, reducing fine lines, or healing sports injuries. A small amount of your blood is drawn and gently processed to concentrate the platelets, which are rich in growth factors that promote natural healing. These platelet-rich cells are then carefully injected into the targeted areas using fine, minimally invasive techniques. Dr. Jain emphasizes safety, using sterile methods and your own tissue to minimize risks. Post-procedure, he provides simple advice for optimal healing like avoiding sun exposure or strenuous activity for a short period. His goal is to help you achieve natural-looking improvement through a gentle, well-supported treatment experience.​

What are the benefits to (Platelet-Rich Plasma) Therapy

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy offers a range of benefits by using the body’s natural healing abilities to repair and rejuvenate tissues. It can help improve hair growth in thinning areas, reduce wrinkles and fine lines, and promote faster recovery from injuries to muscles, tendons, or joints. Since it uses your own blood, the treatment is considered very safe with minimal risk of allergic reactions or side effects. PRP enhances collagen production, improves skin texture, and supports tissue repair making it a versatile choice for both cosmetic and medical concerns. The results are gradual and natural-looking, with minimal downtime.

What is the suitable age group for (Platelet-Rich Plasma) Therapy?

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy is generally suitable for individuals between the ages of 18 to 60 years, depending on the purpose of treatment. It is commonly used by young adults for acne scars or hair loss, middle-aged individuals for signs of aging, and by people of various ages for injury recovery or joint issues. The ideal age group may vary based on medical condition, overall health, and treatment goals.

How long does recovery take for (Platelet-Rich Plasma) Therapy?

Recovery from Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy is generally quick and minimally invasive, though it varies depending on the condition treated. For hair loss and facial rejuvenation, patients typically resume normal activities the same day, with minor redness or swelling lasting 1–3 days and visible results developing over 4–8 weeks. In cases of joint pain or sports injuries, mild soreness may last a few days, with functional improvements appearing within 2–6 weeks. When used for post-surgical healing, PRP can accelerate recovery by enhancing tissue repair, often reducing total recovery time. Overall, PRP offers a safe, low-downtime option for both cosmetic and medical benefits.

Tests Requirements

Before undergoing Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy, a few essential tests are typically recommended to ensure safety and effectiveness. These may include a Complete Blood Count (CBC) to assess platelet levels and rule out anemia or infection, coagulation profile tests (like PT, aPTT, INR) to evaluate blood clotting ability, and basic metabolic tests such as Liver Function Tests (LFT) and Renal Function Tests (RFT) to check overall organ health. In some cases, blood-borne infection screenings (HIV, Hepatitis B and C) are also done to maintain sterility and safety during PRP preparation. These tests help tailor the treatment and reduce any risks associated with blood-derived therapies.
