Hair is one of the most important parts of our body, playing a vital role in keeping our appearance defined and full. Hair fall is one of the most commonly seen concerns in skin clinics. While genetics always plays a vital role in making hair fall more prominent, our busy lifestyle, poor diet, lack of sleep, and polluted environment also contribute significantly.
At Akarshan Skin & Hair Clinic, we offer PRP Hair Treatment in Nepal as a safe, non-surgical solution to stimulate hair regrowth and slow down future hair loss. PRP works through injections of blood plasma containing high concentrations of growth factors, extracted from the patient’s own blood and injected directly into the hair follicles. Together with PRP, we perform dermapen microneedling for best results.
What Is PRP?
PRP stands for Platelet-Rich Plasma — a concentrated form of the patient’s own blood plasma that is rich in platelets and growth factors. Our blood naturally contains healing and regenerative proteins that repair damaged tissue and stimulate cell growth. When these growth factors are concentrated and delivered directly to the scalp, they powerfully signal hair follicles to regenerate, strengthen, and grow.
To create PRP, a small amount of blood is drawn from the patient and placed in a centrifuge for approximately 30 to 45 minutes. This separates and concentrates the platelet-rich plasma, which is then injected into the hair roots in areas of thinning or hair loss.
At Akarshan, every PRP hair session is combined with dermapen microneedling across the scalp. This creates micro-channels that dramatically enhance the absorption and penetration of PRP growth factors into the follicular layer, improving the overall efficacy of the treatment.
PRP vs GFC — Which Is Right for You?
Both PRP and GFC (Growth Factor Concentrate) are blood-derived, non-surgical hair loss treatments available at Akarshan. Here is how they compare:
Feature | PRP | GFC |
Source | Patient’s own blood | Patient’s own blood |
Preparation time | ~30 minutes | ~30 minutes |
Growth factor concentration | Standard | Higher |
Purity | Contains WBCs/RBCs | Purer, minimal WBCs/RBCs |
Combined with microneedling | Yes (at Akarshan) | Yes (at Akarshan) |
Cost | From NRS 4,000 to NRS 5,000 | From NRS 6,000 |
Best for | Mild to moderate hair loss | Mild to moderate hair loss |
PRP is an excellent and cost-effective starting point for most patients with mild to moderate hair loss. GFC is recommended for patients seeking a higher concentration of growth factors or those who have plateaued with PRP. Our doctors will recommend the most suitable treatment during your consultation.
Who Is It Best For?
- Male and female pattern baldness (androgenic alopecia)
- Diffuse hair thinning across the scalp
- Hair loss triggered by stress, poor diet, or hormonal changes
- Postpartum hair shedding
- Telogen effluvium (excessive shedding due to reversible causes)
- Patients on oral or topical hair loss medications seeking to enhance treatment efficacy
- Post-hair transplant recovery (to boost graft survival)
- Anyone seeking a non-surgical, natural approach to hair restoration
How Does PRP Hair Treatment Work?
PRP works by harnessing the body’s own regenerative biology. When injected into the scalp, the concentrated growth factors in PRP:
- Stimulate dormant and miniaturized hair follicles to re-enter the active growth phase
- Extend the anagen (growth) phase of the hair cycle, reducing shedding
- Promote new blood vessel formation to improve scalp circulation and nutrient delivery
- Reduce scalp inflammation that can contribute to follicle damage
- Enhance the efficiency of oral and topical hair loss medications when used in combination
- Strengthen existing hair and reduce breakage
The growth factor rich plasma, when injected into the scalp, helps in the regeneration and preservation of hair. The efficiency of medicines is also enhanced when PRP hair treatment is combined with microneedling, making the combination protocol at Akarshan more effective than PRP alone.
Benefits of PRP Hair Treatment
- Reduces hair fall and shedding
- Stimulates new hair growth in thinning areas
- Strengthens existing hair and improves hair thickness
- Enhances the effectiveness of oral and topical hair loss medications
- Non-surgical and completely safe — uses the patient’s own blood
- No risk of allergic reaction or rejection
- Minimal downtime — return to normal activities the same day
- Results enhanced further when combined with dermapen microneedling
- Effective for both male and female pattern hair loss.
Results You Can Expect
Most patients notice a visible reduction in hair fall within 4–6 weeks of the first PRP session. New hair growth typically becomes noticeable after 2–3 sessions, with optimal density and thickness achieved following a complete course of treatment.
The answer to how many sessions are needed depends on the severity of hair fall. Ideally, 1 to 6 sessions are suggested one month apart. For hair fall caused purely by reversible triggers (such as nutritional deficiency or stress), PRP alone may be sufficient. In most cases, a combination of PRP and oral or topical medications yields the best and most sustained results. Even slight lifestyle modifications can make a significant difference in controlling hair fall alongside treatment.

PRP hair treatment at Akarshan starts from NRS 4,000 per session. When combined with dermapen microneedling — which is our standard recommended protocol for best results — the cost is NRS 5,000 per session.

Frequently Asked Questions — PRP Hair Treatment Nepal
PRP is Platelet-Rich Plasma — a concentrated form of the patient’s own blood plasma that is rich in platelets and growth factors. When injected into the scalp, it stimulates hair follicle regeneration, reduces hair fall, and promotes new hair growth.
Preparation of PRP through centrifugation takes approximately 30 to 45 minutes. The injection procedure itself takes 20 to 30 minutes. Including dermapen microneedling, the full session takes approximately 60 to 75 minutes.
Mild discomfort is expected during PRP injections. At Akarshan, we apply a topical numbing cream before the procedure and combine PRP with microneedling to minimize the number of injections needed, reducing overall discomfort.
PRP hair treatment at Akarshan starts from NRS 4,000 per session. When combined with dermapen microneedling — our recommended standard protocol — the cost is NRS 5,000 per session. PRP for the face is also available at NRS 5,000 per session.
It depends on the severity and cause of your hair fall. Hair loss due to purely reversible causes may be controlled by PRP alone. In most cases, a combination of PRP and oral or topical medications yields the best results. Lifestyle modifications can also make a significant difference. Our doctors will advise the most appropriate protocol at your consultation.
No one can predict the exact number of sessions required as it depends on the individual’s hair loss severity and response to treatment. Ideally, 1 to 6 sessions are suggested, spaced one month apart. Your doctor will reassess your progress after each session and adjust the plan accordingly.
Yes. PRP is derived entirely from the patient’s own blood, so there is no risk of allergic reaction or rejection. The procedure is completely safe and is performed under sterile clinical conditions by qualified medical professionals.
Both use the patient’s own blood. GFC involves a more advanced centrifugation process that produces a higher and purer concentration of growth factors than standard PRP, with less processing time variability. GFC is typically recommended for patients seeking more concentrated treatment or those who have plateaued with PRP. Our doctors will recommend the right option for your hair loss stage and goals.
