PRP Hair Treatment in Pune: Male Grade 4–5 Vertex Hair Loss Case Study

PRP Hair Treatment in Pune: Male Grade 4–5 Vertex Hair Loss Case Study

Written by: Dr. Kiran Chotaliya Editorial Team  ·  Reviewed by: Dr. Kiran Chotaliya, M.D. Dermatologist & Chief Hair transplant Surgeon  ·  Hairfree & Hairgrow Clinics, India  ·  Updated Oct 2026

This case study documents the PRP hair treatment plan of a 32-year-old male patient who had been experiencing progressive hair loss for approximately 6.5 years. According to the supplied patient profile, no significant medical history or personal habits were reported. Before PRP, the patient had already been using hair serum and vitamins as part of his hair-care routine.

The case-study structure follows the same professional format used in the supplied reference, including patient assessment, treatment planning, PRP procedure, progress documentation, aftercare, outcome assessment, and realistic results disclaimers. Pasted markdown

Documentation note: The supplied treatment plan records 5 PRP sessions advised at approximately one-month intervals. No separate 1st–6th PRP progress photographs have been provided in the current upload. Therefore, visible density improvement, regrowth, or reduced hair fall should not be attributed to individual sessions unless the relevant follow-up images or clinical records are available.

Patient Consent Notice

This case study should be published only after obtaining the patient’s appropriate consent. Patient photographs, treatment details, and progress information should be used solely for educational, clinical, or promotional purposes as permitted by the patient.

Individual results may vary, and PRP treatment outcomes cannot be guaranteed.

Patient Concerns

After approximately 6.5 years of progressive hair loss, the patient’s primary concerns were related to reduced coverage over the upper scalp and vertex.

Based on the supplied patient photograph, the concerns included:

  • Progressive male-pattern hair thinning
  • Significant vertex thinning
  • Increased scalp visibility over the crown
  • Reduced density over the mid-scalp
  • Loss of overall fullness
  • Concern about continued progression of hair loss
  • Desire to maintain existing native hair
  • Interest in improving the appearance of hair density where possible

Because daily hair shedding was not objectively documented, the exact amount of reduction in hair fall should not be stated as a measured outcome.

Initial Hair & Scalp Condition

The baseline photograph shows advanced visible thinning over the vertex and upper scalp, with considerable scalp visibility through the existing hair.

Baseline Visual Findings

  • Prominent vertex/crown thinning
  • Significant scalp visibility
  • Reduced density over the upper scalp
  • Existing hair still present throughout portions of the affected area
  • Greater hair coverage toward the surrounding scalp compared with the central vertex
  • Progressive rather than completely uniform hair loss

The supplied treatment plan classifies the patient’s condition as Grade 4–5 vertex progressive hair loss.

PRP Treatment Plan

A structured PRP treatment course was advised based on the patient’s progressive vertex thinning.

Documented Treatment Plan

Hair-Loss Classification:
Grade 4–5 vertex progressive

Treatment:
PRP hair treatment

Technique:
Micro-injection technique

Anaesthesia:
Topical anaesthesia

Treatment Interval:
Approximately 1 month

Sessions Advised:
5 PRP sessions

Post-Treatment Support:
Minoxidil and vitamins

The treatment was planned as a multi-session supportive approach rather than expecting a major visible change after a single PRP session.

PRP Procedure Overview

PRP, or Platelet-Rich Plasma therapy, is a non-surgical procedure in which a patient’s blood is collected and processed to prepare a platelet-rich plasma fraction. The prepared PRP is then administered into selected thinning areas of the scalp.

For this case, the supplied material specifically documents a micro-injection technique with topical anaesthesia.

General PRP Session Process

  1. Assessment of the scalp and thinning areas
  2. Collection of a small blood sample
  3. Processing of blood for PRP preparation
  4. Preparation of the treatment area
  5. Administration of PRP through multiple micro-injections
  6. Post-procedure care instructions
  7. Follow-up according to the treatment schedule

The supplied material does not document PRP volume, platelet concentration, centrifugation protocol, or exact number of injections. These details should therefore not be added as clinical facts.

Session-Wise PRP Hair Treatment Progress

1st PRP Session – Baseline / Initial Treatment

The first PRP session marked the beginning of the patient’s planned treatment course.

At baseline, the patient showed:

  • Grade 4–5 progressive vertex hair loss
  • Significant crown thinning
  • Visible scalp over the upper scalp
  • Reduced overall hair density
  • Existing hair still present across parts of the affected area

At this stage, the main goal was to begin supportive treatment for the existing hair follicles and monitor how the scalp responded over the coming sessions.

A major visible density change would not be expected immediately after the first PRP session.

2nd PRP Session – Early Treatment Progress

By the second PRP session, the patient had entered the early treatment phase.

The focus at this stage was to continue supporting the existing follicles and monitor:

  • Hair fall pattern
  • Vertex scalp visibility
  • Overall crown coverage
  • Appearance of existing hair
  • Early changes in hair thickness

Any improvement at this stage should be described as gradual rather than dramatic.

3rd PRP Session – Mid-Treatment Stage

The third PRP session represented the middle phase of the planned treatment course.

At this stage, clinical follow-up would typically focus on whether the patient was showing:

  • Better apparent crown coverage
  • Reduced visibility of the scalp in some areas
  • Improved thickness of existing hair
  • More stable hair density
  • Changes in the overall appearance of the vertex

Progress should be assessed by comparing standardized follow-up photographs with the initial baseline.

4th PRP Session – Progressive Treatment Stage

By the fourth PRP session, the patient had completed most of the advised treatment course.

The main areas of observation at this stage included:

  • Vertex density
  • Mid-scalp coverage
  • Degree of visible scalp
  • Hair shaft appearance
  • Overall visual fullness

If improvement was visible, it should be described conservatively as better apparent coverage, improved thickness, or reduced scalp visibility in some areas, rather than complete regrowth.

5th PRP Session – Final Documented Treatment

The 5th PRP session was the final documented treatment session in this case, completing the planned PRP course.

At this stage, the patient’s response should be assessed by comparing the final follow-up with the baseline appearance.

Final Assessment Focus

  • Overall vertex coverage
  • Apparent hair density
  • Degree of scalp visibility
  • Hair thickness
  • Stability of existing hair
  • Patient-reported changes in hair fall, if documented

Because the treatment ended after the 5th PRP session, no further PRP sessions are included in this case.

Treatment Completion

This case concluded after the 5th PRP session.

The final outcome should be presented as the result of a five-session PRP treatment course, with any claims regarding density improvement, reduced hair fall, better hair thickness, or visible regrowth limited to what is clearly supported by the patient’s follow-up photographs and clinical records.

Final Results

Based on the currently supplied material, this case documents the patient’s baseline condition and planned PRP treatment course, rather than a confirmed final before-and-after result.

The available records support the following:

  • Grade 4–5 progressive vertex hair loss
  • Approximately 6.5 years of hair loss
  • Significant visible thinning over the crown
  • Five PRP sessions advised
  • One-month treatment intervals
  • Micro-injection technique with topical anaesthesia
  • Minoxidil and vitamins advised as post-treatment support

Once follow-up images become available, the final-result section can evaluate:

  • Improvement in apparent hair density
  • Reduction in scalp visibility
  • Improved vertex coverage
  • Better visual hair thickness
  • Overall fullness of the upper scalp

The reference case-study format similarly avoids assigning an exact percentage of improvement unless objectively measured. Pasted markdown

The third PRP session represented the middle phase of the planned treatment course.

At this stage, clinical follow-up would typically focus on whether the patient was showing:

  • Better apparent crown coverage
  • Reduced visibility of the scalp in some areas
  • Improved thickness of existing hair
  • More stable hair density
  • Changes in the overall appearance of the vertex

Progress should be assessed by comparing standardized follow-up photographs with the initial baseline.

Patient Outcome & Clinical Observation

The patient’s baseline appearance shows advanced progressive thinning over the vertex and upper scalp.

The PRP treatment strategy was intended primarily to:

  • Support existing hair follicles
  • Help maintain remaining hair
  • Improve the appearance of hair quality where possible
  • Manage progressive hair loss with ongoing medical hair care
  • Monitor response through follow-up

Because session-wise clinical photographs have not been supplied, the outcome should currently be described as treatment planned/undertaken, rather than presenting a confirmed multi-session transformation.

Appropriate Outcome Format

Before PRP:
Grade 4–5 progressive vertex thinning with marked scalp visibility.

During PRP Treatment:
Response should be monitored through clinical assessment and standardized photographs.

After Treatment Course:
Changes in density, thickness, scalp coverage, or hair fall should be documented only when supported by follow-up findings.

Aftercare & Maintenance

Immediate Post-PRP Care

According to the supplied post-care instructions, the patient was advised to:

  • Avoid strenuous exercise for approximately 24 hours
  • Avoid washing the hair for at least 12 hours
  • Avoid styling products such as gel, spray, or dry shampoo for approximately 12 hours
  • Stay adequately hydrated
  • Avoid alcohol and smoking during the early post-treatment period

Long-Term Hair Maintenance

The patient’s ongoing hair-care plan included:

  • Maintain a healthy, hair-supportive diet
  • Follow healthy lifestyle habits
  • Use Minoxidil or a maintenance serum as advised
  • Continue vitamins when recommended
  • Attend follow-up evaluations
  • Continue maintenance therapy according to clinical response

Long-term medical hair care can remain important because progressive native hair loss may continue independently of the initial PRP treatment course.

Patient Consent & Results Disclaimer

Patient Consent Notice

Clinical photographs and case information should be published only after appropriate informed patient consent has been obtained.

Patient privacy should be maintained even when identifiable facial features are not clearly visible.

Results Disclaimer

PRP hair-treatment outcomes vary between individuals.

Treatment response may depend on:

  • Severity and duration of hair loss
  • Degree of follicular miniaturization
  • Pattern of hair loss
  • Patient age
  • Hair characteristics
  • Scalp condition
  • Nutritional or hormonal factors
  • Treatment consistency
  • Adherence to recommended maintenance
  • Individual biological response

PRP should not be presented as guaranteeing complete hair regrowth or restoration of original hair density.

In advanced hair loss, visible response may also be limited by the number and condition of remaining viable hair follicles. Results from one patient should not be interpreted as a guarantee of similar results for another patient.

The reference format likewise emphasizes that PRP outcomes should be communicated cautiously and without guarantees. Pasted markdown

FAQ'S

1. How many PRP sessions were advised in this case?

The patient was advised to undergo 5 PRP sessions, generally at approximately one-month intervals. The final number of sessions may vary according to clinical response and the treating doctor’s assessment.

The supplied treatment plan documents Grade 4–5 progressive vertex hair loss, with significant thinning and scalp visibility around the crown and upper scalp.

PRP may be used to support existing viable hair follicles and improve hair quality in appropriately selected areas. In more advanced hair loss, the degree of visible improvement can be limited, so expectations should be individualized after clinical evaluation.

PRP is generally performed as a course of treatments, and any improvement tends to develop gradually rather than immediately. The timing and degree of response vary between patients, so follow-up assessment is important.

Maintenance may be advised depending on the underlying hair-loss pattern and response to treatment. In this case, the documented plan included Minoxidil, vitamins
