Thinking about PRP for thicker hair. Are there any associated risks? I am a 35 year old man.

Results are very promising for PRP SC for the scalp. All treatments have risks, so a thorough knowledge of these is an important part of any treatment. Best, Dr. KaramanoukianLos Angeles

Since you are using your plasma and platelets with associated growth factors, you are not introducing any unknown stimulant to yourself.  PRP is a biologic produced by you and mapped to your own DNA.In good health,Ellen Mahony, MD

Hi
Thank you for your question. PRP is not a link to cancer. Please find a board registered Hair Specialist for more information to put your mind at rest.
PRP treatment for hair rejuvenation involves the injection of a patient’s own plasma and growth factors in to the to improve hair density and the acceleration of hair growth in order to improve the appearance of hair thickness and condition.

Platelet rich plasma (PRP) is concentrated blood plasma (composition of blood) that contains approximately five times the number of platelets found in normal circulating blood. Apart from red blood cells and white blood cells, our blood also contains cells known as platelets. The function of platelets is to promote healing and aid in the clotting of blood at the site of a wound. Platelets contain growth factors that promote regeneration of the cells in the body.

All the best
