What are the Factors That Influence PRP Treatment Costs?

 

PRP treatment costs are generally influenced by the following factors:

 

1. Number of Sessions

Optimum results from PRP treatment usually call for several sessions. Dermatologists usually advise six to eight hair restoration sessions spaced a month apart. The total costs rise with the number of sessions.

 

2. Clinic Location

The clinic’s location plays a vital role in the treatment costs. Compared to those in small towns, clinics in major cities, including Bangalore, Mumbai, and Delhi, may be more expensive.

 

3. Tools and Technology

Higher operating costs may cause clinics using modern centrifugation devices and strict sterilization procedures to charge more.

 

Which Health Insurance Covers PRP?

 

PRP is usually labelled under cosmetic or elective procedures. Thus, most general health insurance policies in India do not cover it. However, under certain tailored or comprehensive policies, some orthopaedic or clinically essential PRP therapies might be eligible.

 

Overall, the cost of PRP treatments needs to be borne by the individual, and it will tend to vary based on various factors. Additionally, there may be follow-up costs associated with PRP treatment procedures, which typically occur every 4 to 6 months, depending on the chosen procedure. So, it is customary to take into account both the treatment and follow-up costs to get an overall estimate when planning to opt for a procedure.
