Patient's Main Concern

The patient was concerned about the gradual progression of hair thinning over several years and the increasing visibility of the scalp.

The PRP treatment plan was designed to support the patient’s existing hair follicles rather than replace lost follicles.

The main objectives were to:

  • Help control excessive hair shedding
  • Support weakened existing follicles
  • Improve hair shaft quality
  • Encourage better thickness of miniaturized hair
  • Improve the appearance of overall density where follicles remain active
  • Support long-term preservation of existing hair
  • Monitor the progression of hair loss

PRP Treatment Plan

Hair-Loss Pattern: Grade 4–5 progressive
Treatment: Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Hair Therapy
Technique: Micro-injection technique with topical anaesthesia
Frequency: Approximately one session every month
Sessions Advised: 5
Sessions Completed: 3
Remaining Sessions: 2
Post-Treatment Support: Minoxidil and vitamins as prescribed by the treating doctor

Immediate Post-PRP Care – First 24 Hours

3-Session PRP Hair Treatment Journey

1st PRP Session – Baseline & Treatment Initiation

The first PRP session marked the beginning of the structured treatment protocol.

At baseline, the patient had a long history of progressive thinning with visible reduction in density across the affected scalp.

During the first visit, the treatment focused on:

  • Assessing the pattern and extent of thinning
  • Documenting the baseline scalp condition
  • Identifying areas with existing miniaturized hair
  • Beginning PRP treatment across the affected regions
  • Discussing realistic expectations
  • Starting supportive medical hair care where appropriate

At this early stage, major visible changes would not generally be expected immediately.

2nd PRP Session – Early Treatment Phase

The second PRP session was performed approximately one month later.

The doctor reassessed the scalp and reviewed how the patient had tolerated the first treatment.

Clinical monitoring included:

  • Ongoing hair shedding
  • Hair texture and quality
  • Scalp condition
  • Visible scalp exposure
  • Progression or stability of thinning
  • Compliance with supportive treatment

PRP was again administered to the areas showing progressive thinning.

Because hair-growth changes occur gradually, the second session was primarily part of the continuing stimulation phase.

3rd PRP Session – Mid-Course Assessment

The patient has now completed his third PRP session out of five advised sessions.

This represents the midpoint of the initial PRP treatment course.

At this stage, clinical follow-up should focus on:

  • Whether daily hair fall is becoming more stable
  • Changes in the quality of existing hair
  • Hair shaft thickness
  • Overall scalp coverage
  • Degree of visible thinning
  • Patient tolerance to treatment
  • Need for continuation of supportive therapy

The provided case material does not include objective density measurements or standardized before-and-after photographs for each session, so specific percentage improvement should not be claimed.

What Can Be Monitored After 3 PRP Sessions?

After three sessions, the treating doctor may assess:

  • Reduction or stabilization of excessive shedding
  • Hair texture
  • Hair shaft thickness
  • Scalp visibility
  • Overall apparent density
  • Progression of thinning
  • Patient-reported changes
  • Response to minoxidil or vitamins, where prescribed

It is important not to judge the final PRP response too early, as hair growth follows a gradual biological cycle.

Ongoing Hair Care

The patient should continue a consistent hair-care routine during the remaining treatment course.

  • Maintain a healthy, protein-rich diet
  • Follow a healthy lifestyle
  • Maintain proper scalp hygiene
  • Use minoxidil only if advised by the doctor
  • Take vitamins only where clinically recommended
  • Avoid unnecessary harsh chemical treatments
  • Attend the remaining PRP sessions on schedule
  • Report any sudden increase in hair fall or scalp symptoms
