We are known for being the best clinic for female hair loss treatment in Kolkata and for having the top female hair loss treatment doctors in the city because of this

– We use simple, effective, and 100% natural procedures.
– We are leading experts in i-PRF and other anti-aging treatments.

If any of the following situations or health conditions apply to you, then i-PRF treatment is contraindicated.

– Pregnant or breast-feeding
– Undergoing anticoagulant therapy, such as warfarin
– Any medical condition having a significant effect on platelet function
– Hemo dynamic instability

As the treatment harnesses your natural healing and regenerative capacity, avoiding known harmful behaviors – such as smoking and excessive UV exposure – is important following treatment.

We also advise you to avoid taking aspirin, non-steroidal medication (such as ibuprofen) and Vitamin E supplements for a few weeks following treatment, and always use high factor sun protection.

Changes begin in a matter of hours and can last many months due to the effects of the growth factors.

This will depend on the reason for treatment. Significant skin and hair problems may need between 4 to 6 sessions for best results. These are usually given every 4 to 6 weeks.

This is then generally followed by quarterly treatments to maintain the results for the first year. After a year, the i-PRF  treatment frequency can be reduced, based on the specific requirement of the patient.

There is usually some short-term redness, swelling and minor discomfort in the treated area, which may last for a few hours. Bruising to the area is less common, but if it does occur it can be easily covered by makeup.

Exceptionally, there is some downtime when it is used to treat the lower eyelids – here patients will experience some swelling for 36 hours. This can be hidden with sunglasses, but many will choose to spend time at home after they treat their lower lids. The results of  i-PRF on the lower lids lasts about two years and can create a phenomenal outcome.

As i-PRF / PRP treatment uses your own blood cells, the risks of adverse reaction or complication are negligible.

In Dr. Paul’s Clinic, we use the latest technology to get the best quality of i-PRF from your blood.

The treatment will not be painful, rather described as minor discomfort due to the application a topical anesthetic to the skin before starting the treatment.

Usually no special maintenance is required for the newly transplanted hair. They can be easily washed, combed, oiled, cut and even styled according to one’s wishes. The only exception lies when and if any of the patients develop any sort of complications.
