How much does PRP therapy cost — and what results should you expect? | Kosmoderma

Introduction

If you’re considering PRP (platelet-rich plasma) therapy for hair restoration or skin rejuvenation, one of the first questions will be: how much does PRP therapy cost — and is it going to be worth it?

The cost of PRP therapy may vary based on location, clinic, the doctors who perform the procedure, and indications of use, but knowing the costs that typical patients can expect and what results are realistic can help with decision-making and avoiding overpaying. In this article, we provide the numbers; the next section looks at what impacts cost, and we finish with results you can “expect.”

What is PRP?

PRP therapy involves using a small sample of your own blood, centrifuging that sample to concentrate the platelets (which are rich in growth factors), and then injecting that “platelet-rich” fraction into the target location. The growth factors stimulate repair and collagen production, which are helpful for thinning hair and overall skin.

Typical PRP therapy cost (India)

Per Session (India)

₹4,000 – ₹15,000 in most clinics. The commonly reported range for hair and skin PRP is roughly ₹4k–₹12k per session, with some premium clinics charging up to ₹15k or more per visit.

Packages

Many clinics offer 3-session or 4–6 session packages (recommended for initial course). Typical package costs might be ₹12,000–₹35,000 depending on the number of sessions and add-ons (microneedling, imaging, topical boosters).

City Differences

Metro clinics (Bengaluru, Mumbai, Delhi, Chennai) often sit at the higher end (₹7k–₹15k). Smaller cities/clinics may offer lower per-session fees.

Why there’s such a wide range: equipment and centrifuge quality, whether PRP is prepared manually or with closed-system kits, doctor’s experience, clinic reputation, room charges, use of imaging (e.g., trichoscopy), and any combined procedures (microneedling + PRP raises the price).

These are industry ranges – your clinic may charge more or less depending on service level, equipment, and add-ons. For clinic-specific packages and offers, check our PRP treatment page.

What results should you expect

Hair (PRP for Hair Loss)

Many patients notice reduced hair fall and early baby-hair growth after 2–3 months, with more visible density improvement by 4–6 months following a course of sessions. Results vary by cause of hair loss (genetic alopecia tends to respond more slowly).

Skin (PRP facial / vampire facial)

Improvements in skin texture, glow, and mild tightening may be visible after 4–6 weeks, with collagen remodelling continuing for months. Multiple sessions improve durability.

PRP is not a miracle cure. It often improves results (especially when used alongside standard treatments), but outcomes depend on underlying causes, patient age, hormonal status, and adherence to follow-up.

Who is a good candidate?

Good candidates include people with early to moderate hair thinning, those seeking natural skin rejuvenation. PRP is not ideal for advanced scarring where tissue/follicles are permanently lost, active infections, or patients with bleeding disorders. Always consult a qualified clinician before booking – book a consultation.

Safety, side effects & downtime

PRP therapy demonstrates encouraging outcomes in hair restoration and skin rejuvenation. In patients with androgenetic alopecia, 3 PRP injections monthly were found to be effective, with a meta-analysis indicating a mean improvement of 25.61 hair/cm² compared to placebo (Gupta et al., 2019). In standard PRP treatment, a scalp roller is often used before injection for hair restoration to activate wound healing events of hair follicles (Puri, 2015).

In skin rejuvenation, PRP promotes collagen generation due to mild inflammation triggering cascades of healing (Puri, 2015). Patients have had visible improvement in skin texture and tone as early as 3 weeks, with full collagen generation observed in 3 months and lasting up to 18 months (Puri,2015). PRP also has positive outcomes in acne scarring and facial burns when used in combination with therapy (Gupta et al., 2019).

Alternative PRP protocols are not defined universally and not agreed upon for optimal preparation or treatment schedules and this likely limits the ability for us to move forward to standardize PRP therapy (Kourosh et al., 2024). The studies required for scientific rigor are randomized controlled trials to define a standardized treatment protocol.

How to choose the right clinic?

• Consult a board-certified dermatologist or a qualified trained specialist.
• Ask how they prepare the PRP (kit vs manual) and the details: centrifuge model, volume injected.
• Review before/after photos and testimonials from patients. (Preferably, ask for signed consent and specific photos for your purpose.)
• Verify everything in your package, the follow-up policy, and whether there was a warranty.
• Verify clinic hygiene, trained staff, and if they use imaging (trichoscopy/ultrasound) if applicable.

FAQs

1. How many sessions of PRP do I need?

Commonly 3 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart, then maintenance every 6–12 months as advised.

2. Is PRP permanent?

PRP can stimulate regrowth and improvement, but results often need maintenance and depend on the underlying cause.

3. Is PRP permanent?

PRP can stimulate regrowth and improvement, but results often need maintenance and depend on the underlying cause.

4. Can PRP be combined with other treatments?

Yes — PRP is frequently combined with microneedling, topical growth therapies, or hair transplants for better results.

Final thoughts — is PRP worth it?

If you have early thinning hair, want natural skin rejuvenation without foreign substances, or are exploring regenerative options for certain joint issues, PRP is a reasonable investment — but cost-effectiveness depends on realistic expectations, proper patient selection, and the clinic you choose. Expect to budget for an initial course (3–6 sessions) plus possible maintenance.
