PRP vs Mesotherapy for Hair Loss
At Alloroots, Dr. Alok Kumar Sahoo (MD Dermatology, AIIMS New Delhi) offers both PRP Hair Restoration Therapy and Hair Mesotherapy. Patients receive a medical assessment, privacy-focused care, and treatment planning based on diagnosis, scalp health, and goals. PRP and Mesotherapy can address hair thinning or density loss, though results depend on individual response.
Comparing PRP and Mesotherapy for Hair Loss
PRP involves injecting concentrated platelets from a small blood draw to stimulate follicle activity. Mesotherapy delivers micro-injections of nutrients, amino acids, and growth factors into the scalp. Both are minimally invasive, performed in-clinic, and typically require several sessions.
- Uses: PRP may suit diffuse thinning or early androgenetic alopecia, sometimes combined with microneedling. Mesotherapy can target scalp nutrition issues or inflammation with customised formulas.
- Session process: PRP includes blood processing before injection. Mesotherapy uses multiple injection points with ready nutrient mixes.
- Cost and maintenance: Mesotherapy can be lower per visit cost, PRP may need fewer maintenance sessions over time.
- Evidence: PRP has more research support for common hair loss, mesotherapy evidence varies with formulation.
Choosing the right treatment
Selection depends on diagnosis, stage of hair loss, and comfort with procedures. Early androgenetic alopecia may respond to PRP plus topical or oral hair medications. Scalp nutrition or inflammation may be better addressed with mesotherapy. Alloroots includes these therapies in Male and Female Hair Loss Treatment plans when indicated.
PRP can be combined with i-PRF, GFC, or ACell+PRP for added regenerative support. Mesotherapy mixes may include recombinant growth factors or stem cell-conditioned media if appropriate. Dr. Sahoo reviews medical history, scalp condition, and lab results before recommending an approach.
What to expect during sessions
Treatments are performed under sterile conditions. Numbing cream or local anaesthesia may be used. Patients often return to routine the same day, with mild redness or tenderness possible. Photos are taken only with consent and stored securely. Maintenance schedules are set at follow-up and adjusted based on response.
Supporting care like scalp routines, prescribed hair medications, and lifestyle changes can help maintain results. Hair loss may continue despite intervention, so ongoing management is common. Sessions can be scheduled to suit work or travel plans.
