My dermatologist advise me that PRP injection should be taken in an interval of 3 months. She recommended taking of four injection after every 3 months. Many websites says that it’s should taken after every month. I need help. Also, what should taken from following: 2%, 5% or 10% Minoxidil? Moreover, Finasteride or Dutastride?
Answer: How much time after PRP injection should be taken after first PRP sitting? The research performed and the anecdotal evidence would suggest that thickness of hair and density can improve with PRP injections. The number of sessions as well as the quality of PRP obtained will vary considerably physician to physician.

Answer: PRP protocol?Englewood cliffs nj A study presented at the American Society for Dermatologic Surgery meeting tested this particular protocol issue. It was found that monthly injections is superior to injections every 3 months at the initial PRP treatment. The higher the concentration of minoxidil, the better the results provided that you do have the minoxidil sulfotransferase enzyme. A direct comparison between dutasteride and finasteride has not been done. Both are effective. Find a PRP expert. Ask to see photos. PRPHAIRMD.COM

Answer: How long before seeing results and doing another PRP injection It can take 4-6 months before most patients notice improvement in their hair thinning. Patients in our office have reported a decrease in shedding as early as 4 weeks after their initial treatment but results can vary.

Answer: PRP Treatment Intervals Our protocol is one PRP treatment every 5 to 7 weeks for a total of 4 to 6 treatments. 5% Minoxidil should be enough. Keep in mind, that though Minoxidil is a topical, a portion of it can go systemic. Therefore, should you go to the higher dose you should be aware of the possible side effects and adjust as needed. In regards to Finasteride or Dutastride, along with a physical exam I prefer to do some lab work before I go to either medication and see what the root cause of the hair loss may be. Generally, the culprit is simply DHT. Sometimes it can be more complex. If I unlikely failed to treat the root causes more naturally first and if indicated for the individual, my preference would be the Dutastride. It caries the lesser of possible adverse side effects. Hope I have helped. Warmly, Arbella Sarkis, MD
