PRP for Hair Loss

Hi Lijn. If you are predisposed to hypertrophic scarring, I would be very cautious in undergoing a procedure such as hairline lowering that will involve an even lengthier scar that may be even more apparent than the scar that you currently have. That being said, there are post procedure measures such as steroids and an anti neoplastic agent that inhibits fibroblasts that can be used after the surgery that can help and if the incision is tension free, there can be good results but you have to really weigh out the risks and benefits.

Hairline lowering after FUE hair transplant? Had my first hair transplant one year ago To lower my hairline. Ended up with scarring in my hairline. Had a new one at another clinic to fill it in 3 Months ago. I feel my skin rising. 2 stiff bumps are forming underneath my skin and i feel my skin is rising. Scared that i might have hyperfibrotic healing. Is a hairline reduction still possible if a have scar tissue? And if so, at what time?

Even though hair transplant is a permanent solution to hair loss, it is still possible to lose hair outside the transplanted areas which can lead to an undesired look as your baldness progresses. Taking minoxidil after a hair transplant can prevent hair loss in the future and help you preserve a head full of hair that you naturally possess. If you are worried about the progression of your hair loss in the future and are unable or unwilling to go through a second hair transplant in the future, taking minoxidil can be the best option for you. Minoxidil works by vasodilation of the capillaries around your hair follicles and will continue to work throughout time. If you have high cholesterol which can block these capillaries or as we age some people's blood vessels harden, the minoxidil will continue to however exert its effects.

Is it a good idea to use minoxidil permanently after FUE? I know that for non-transplanted hair, yes. But is it good for the transplanted too? Does your hair get used to minixidil unnecessarily?

If your eyebrows are thick and very low I would say to consider a brow lift. Hair transplant would make your eyebrows even thicker.

can I transplant my own eyebrows but higher? trey are thick, but very low

PRP requires a time commitment and studies have shown that undergoing a PRP treatment once a month for 3 months, then a treatment at 6 months and 12 months including yearly maintenance works the best.

5 months post 6000 graft FUE where PRP is banned in Singapore - but i've got 2 weeks in Germany coming up! s there any benefit of having 1 PRP round at all? Maybe 2 if I do one at the start and one at the end of my trip... Thanks!

Is only 1 session of PRP worth it?

The brow lift and facelift may have caused shock loss in the hairs that were transplanted from the front 2cm of the scalp especially if a trichophytic incision was used. Less likely in the crown area. In my experience, shock loss as not been permanent. An option would be to use minoxidil or perhaps there could be some separate etiology completely unrelated that may have caused this.

I had a SMAS facelift, necklift, upper/lower blepheroplasty &amp; browlift three weeks ago and am now losing a great deal of hair from the front of my scalp and crown. I had a hair transplant a few years ago (2019) and am worried this is permanent. If I just tug on my hair in these areas, I am left with chuncks of very thin hairs. Is this temporary and how how long will it continue? Is there anything I can do?

I have to agree that I think you will need at least around 1000 grafts in the area to help with the deep temporal recessions. You need a density of 25 hairs per square centimeter in the front line 2cms and 40 hairs per square centimeter behind that.

Hello, i'm 22 years old, i never lost hair, but i have born with a strange hairline and i want to fix it, as I said i never lost any hairs fortunately, i have been checked by more dermatologist, I have asked some clinics around me in italy and they said around 1000 grafts, for me it's seems a lot because it's a small area, what you think? thank you ps: I don't care of a perfect straigth line, just some small adjusting to make it look smoother

Stress definitely effects hair loss especially if the hair loss happens more suddenly. Other common factors that can effect hair loss in women include low ferritin levels, low thyroid hormones and post menopause are also a common problem. Using hair bleach and blowdrying frequently can effect this as well. Correcting the underlying etiology as well as Help Hair is a protein powder product that has worked for many women as well as minoxidil. PRP has been used as well. If those are unable to help, then hair transplant can be an option.

I was recently diagnosed with early FPHL and aparnt recovering TE. Is this hair loss at the back more typical of TE? Or FPHL? My part seems to be more intact than my crown area which i dont think is typical of FPHL. Just to add i have been and still am under huge stress im not sure if this is affecting my current hair loss. As i said i have been diagnosed but unsure if this person is reliable. Thanks in advance.

Hi Batzy, it is completely possible to do an eyebrow transplant on top of an eyebrow tattoo. We do this all the time in patients who get scalp micro pigmentation who then want hair transplants on their scalp as well as on previous scars.

Following a motorbyke accident where I scraped my face 25 years ago I started tattooing my eyebrows where the hairs stopped growing. There was no cosmetic tattoo at the time so mine is a full on tattoo which I periodically retouch. I now have a half hair half ink situation which I'd like to fix. Is it possible to do an eyebrow transplant directly over the ink or better to remove with laser first?

I agree that you should do the blepharoplasty and brow lift before the eyebrow transplant. In that way, not only does the scar heal better for the brow lift if you are considering a trichophytic brow lift and then doing the Follicular unit transfer from the back of the scalp where scarring will be less visible and there will be less skin available to close the wound after the first surgery. But also after the bleph/browlift, the surgeon will have a better idea of where to place the transplants which is more controllable, then placing the grafts before having the brow lift.

Hello, i have read from a few suregons on this site that one should consider doing eyebrow transplant after doing a browlift/blepharoplasty. My question is, does it really matter what i do first? I’m planning to do an eyebrow transplant in january, and then consider doing the rest in late 2024. I have hard that an Upper B doesn’t effect eyebrows at all, thats why i wonder if its better to consider doing that after an eyebrow transplant, instead of an brow lift.

Can i get brow lift/blepharoplasty after an eyebrow transplant?

If you have androgenic alopecia, then finasteride/minoxidil combination works great especially in the crown area but does have some effect in the frontotemporal area so you could try that as I have seen patients that have resulted in improvement with your type of history. Platelet rich plasma injections is also another option which basically gives your hair the added nourishment and creates a better microenvironment for the hair to survive. You could also be entering the age range where most men notice a significant loss of hair usually between 28-31.

I had a hair transplant a few years ago along my frontal hairline and temples it has been mostly ok for a few years but now my hair is getting incredibly thin and I feel the transplanted hair is falling out too. What can I do about it? Are there any medications or treatments that can help or is it a lost cause and the follicles are dead forever? Very worried and self conscious
