Hello,Yes, prp is good when you get it done very 2-3 months within a year. 1 session will not do much
Everyone responds differently to PRP. The good news is that there is about a 70% response rate.I find that a series of three treatmetns spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart provide optimal results. Most will require boost treamtents twice a year but every individual will vary. This can be judged by the "pull test" or simply seeing how much hair you see in your brush/comb or in the sink.The type of PRP used does make a difference. I think the PRP should be 4 to 6 X in strength - with a high concentration of the growth factors providing better results. In addition, the total amount of PRP used also matters. If you are treating an entire scalp, you will need a lot more PRP vs just the crown. Diluting out the same vial over the entire scalp will diminish the results vs using larger volumes of PRP.
There is no right answer on how often you MUST get PRP done. In my practice, I recommend that patients get a series of 3 treatments spaced one month apart followed by maintenance treatments every 6 months. Some patients may opt to do more treatments than this, especially for maintenance purposes, but I do not typically recommend that patients get only 1 or 2 treatments, because they are unlikely to see results.All the best,
The frequency of PRP treatment is variable and different doctors may have different treatment plans. It is not spaced out yearly. It is more like several weeks between treatments.
I appreciate your question.As someone who has undergone prp, i do think its a great procedure.I had it every 6 weeks for 4 treatments.I think its very important to also look at your hair loss from a global perspective including other medications.The best way to assess and give true advice would be an in-person exam.Please see a board-certified plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic and restorative plastic surgery.best of luck!Dr Schwartz
I have a very specific protocol, every 3-4 weeks for 6 months with photography. I also add in progesterone to speed the healing process. After that the injectors are tailored down. You should also be on viviscal and other growth promoting ingredients. Best, Dr. Emer.
Platelet rich plasma (prp) is a nonsurgical solution for hair restoration. PRP injections involve using your plasma to promote hair growth, as well as thicken your existing hair. The growth factors in PRP serve as a safe and highly effective solution for male & female pattern hair loss. We recommend a series of 3 treatments, 6 weeks spaced out between each session. Maintenance treatments can be done once a year. For best results, we recommend consulting with a board certified dermatologist. Best of luck to you!
Because our Patended PRP is so powerful and since we get such amazing results you only need to have the treatments reapplied every 8 months to a year.
For optimal results, our office recommends a series of 3 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart. Once the series has been completed, patients transition to the maintenance phase of care and should have repeat PRP treatments once every 4-6 months.
I recommend in the beginning to do at least 4-6 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart. Then go into maintenance which is one treatment every 3-4 months. This helps maintain your results.
Generally cosmetic surgeons charge for consultations. This is considered normal in the business. Some may offer complimentary consultations depending on the situation. Some may apply the consultation to the few thousand dollars worth of treatment.
In the scientific literature, PRP success rates vary, as do the definitions of success. PRP is a great option for many patients, but it is not going to put hair follicles into the scalp where no follicles remain. I believe that PRP can help to slow or reverse the process of hair miniaturization...
Hair loss after PRP injections is most likely secondary to continued progression of androgenetic alopecia or male-pattern baldness. While PRP injections could theoretically cause a shock to the hairs resulting in loss, such as the shock loss that occasionally occurs with a hair transplant p...
