LLLT vs PRP Hair
At Alloroots, patients can choose between PRP Hair Restoration Therapy for targeted growth factor injections or low level laser therapy (LLLT) for light-based follicle stimulation. Each option follows an individual diagnosis by Dr. Alok Kumar Sahoo, with treatment plans focused on sustained hair health and patient privacy.
Key differences between LLLT and PRP
- LLLT uses red or near-infrared light to energise follicles. It is non-invasive, suits those wanting minimal downtime, and can be continued at home with medical approval.
- PRP uses concentrated platelets from a small blood draw, injected into thinning scalp areas to improve thickness and density.
- Some plans combine both methods for broader stimulation, confirmed after clinical assessment.
When LLLT may be suitable
LLLT is considered for androgenetic alopecia, early-stage thinning, or to support recovery after hair transplant. Sessions last 15 to 30 minutes, are painless, and require consistent use over several months for visible change. Devices may be used in-clinic or at home under medical guidance.
When PRP may be suitable
PRP involves drawing blood, concentrating platelets, and injecting them into the scalp. It may suit diffuse thinning or noticeable density loss. At Alloroots, PRP is part of a wider regenerative menu including Injectable PRF Hair Regeneration and Advanced Cell + PRP Hair Restoration. Sessions are spaced a few weeks apart, with outcomes recorded under strict privacy. Each procedure takes 45 to 60 minutes including preparation.
