What is the minimum age to take PRP injection for hair loss?

Question

Hamid Bimesl, MD · Answer

Hello,Thank you for this great question. Although some physicians may feel comfortable to perform this treatment on an individual 18 or older, there is no minimum age or limit. Individuals between 24-45 are the most likely to experience deposition to genetic and patterned hair loss. It is recommended that you discuss this treatment thoroughly with your physician to find out if this course of treatment is best for you.

Emrah Cinik, MD · Answer

PRP treatment can be applied to all age groups and genders. It is not applied to cancer patients with low platelet count. PRP is applied 3-4 sessions every 2 weeks. It can be repeated every 10-12 months. The application session takes approximately 30 minutes.

Kenneth Hughes, MD · Answer

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. The average age of the patients I treat are in their 30s; I am not aware that there is a minimum age to take PRP injections.

Glenn Charles, DO · Answer

I have never seen any data that determines a minimum age for PRP to help hair loss. I would do a PRP treatment on a patient 18 years or older if I thought they were a good candidate and had realistic expectations as to what the PRP might do for them.

Hi Forceful360392

Patients who desire hair restoration or have deep wrinkles, droopy skin, volume loss, and uneven skin tone are usually the best candidates for PRP therapy. For more information about this procedure, please visit our website.
