How the treatment works
Assessment comes first: a scalp examination, medical history and, where indicated, blood work. Deficiencies and thyroid or hormonal issues are corrected alongside any procedure, because no injection compensates for an untreated underlying cause.
PRP concentrates the platelets from your own blood; GFC isolates a purified concentration of growth factors from it. Injected into the scalp, these signal dormant follicles to re-enter the growth phase, reducing shedding and thickening existing hair.
What to expect at The Happy Skin Tales
Your first visit is a consultation, not a procedure. Dr. Suparna Das examines the concern, takes a history, and explains what is realistically achievable. Only then is a plan agreed, with the number of sessions and the cost confirmed before anything begins.
Every procedure is performed or directly supervised by the dermatologist. Aftercare instructions are written down, and a follow-up review is built into the plan rather than sold separately.
Frequently asked questions
Both use your own blood. PRP delivers concentrated platelets, while GFC processes those platelets further to release a purified, higher concentration of growth factors. GFC is often preferred for consistency of output, and the choice is made at consultation.
Losing 50 to 100 strands a day is part of the normal hair cycle. Consistently more than that, a widening parting, or visible scalp warrants evaluation.
Discomfort is brief and manageable. Numbing cream is applied beforehand, and most patients describe short pinpricks rather than pain.
Results are maintained rather than permanent. Once the initial course is complete, periodic maintenance sessions and correction of underlying causes keep density stable.
