Answers to common questions about hair fall and hair loss treatment at Derma Solutions, Kothrud, Pune — including PRP, mesotherapy, sessions, costs and what results to expect.
What is PRP treatment for hair loss?
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) therapy uses a small sample of your own blood, processed to concentrate the platelets, which is then injected into the scalp. The growth factors in these platelets stimulate weakened hair follicles and support thicker, healthier hair growth.
How many PRP sessions are needed for hair loss?
A typical PRP course at Derma Solutions is 3 to 4 sessions, spaced 4 to 5 weeks apart. The exact number depends on the pattern and stage of hair loss, and maintenance sessions may be advised afterwards to sustain the improvement.
What is the cost of PRP treatment for hair in Pune?
PRP costs Rs. 3,500 per session at Derma Solutions, Kothrud. With a typical course of 3 to 4 sessions spaced 4 to 5 weeks apart, the full course cost is confirmed at your consultation once the stage of hair loss is assessed.
Does PRP work for male and female pattern hair loss?
PRP is used for androgenetic alopecia in both men and women, and works best in the earlier stages while follicles are still active. It is usually combined with medical treatment rather than used alone, and it does not regrow hair in areas that are completely bald.
What is the difference between PRP and mesotherapy for hair?
PRP uses growth factors from your own blood, while mesotherapy delivers a prepared mix of vitamins, minerals and amino acids into the scalp. Both aim to strengthen follicles and reduce hair fall. The choice depends on your diagnosis, and the two are sometimes used in combination.
When should I see a dermatologist for hair fall?
See a dermatologist if hair fall lasts longer than a few weeks, if you notice widening partings, a receding hairline or visible thinning, or if hair loss comes with scalp itching, flaking or patches. Early assessment gives more treatment options.
What causes sudden hair fall?
Common causes include nutritional deficiencies, thyroid problems, post-illness or post-pregnancy shedding, stress, certain medications, and scalp conditions such as dandruff or fungal infection. Identifying the cause matters, because treating it often resolves the hair fall.
Are blood tests needed before hair loss treatment?
Often yes. Because hair fall can be driven by deficiencies, thyroid dysfunction or hormonal factors, Dr. Kelkar may advise tests before starting treatment. Correcting an underlying cause improves how well any hair treatment works.
Is patchy hair loss the same as pattern baldness?
No. Sudden, well-defined bald patches usually indicate alopecia areata, an immune-related condition treated differently from pattern hair loss. A clinical examination distinguishes the two, which is why self-treating hair loss at home is not advisable.
How long before I see results from hair loss treatment?
Hair grows slowly, so meaningful change usually takes a few months of consistent treatment. Reduced hair fall is typically noticed first, followed by improved density. Regular follow-up allows the plan to be adjusted based on your response.
What does a hair consultation at Derma Solutions involve?
The first consultation is Rs. 600 and follow-ups are Rs. 400. Dr. Kelkar examines your scalp and hair pattern, reviews your history and any tests, and explains the treatment options suited to your diagnosis. Book an appointment.
