Hi, I'm in my early 30's and are starting to loosing hair (runs in my genes). I want to use a hair transplat as a last option/solution and are considering gettting 4-5 PRP treatments with 1-1,5 month in between and an yearly follow up. Is it suitable for my hair or do you recommend me to get the hair transplant? Thanks in advance
Answer: Am I a PRP candidate? ENGLEWOOD CLIFFS NJ It's hard to answer without a complete consultation. A history including family and personal history is needed. Duration of hair loss is essential. A phototricogram to evaluate your state of miniaturization would be important. A discussion of your acceptance of monotherapy vs combination is necessary to determine your success. Much more information is needed. In a PRP expert hands, a 4 month trial with an assessment using an AI hair camera (Hair Metrix) will determine if PRP is a viable alternative vs a transplant. You may also want to think about adding Amniotic Fluid to your Progen brand PRP.

Answer: Definitive Yes As an aesthetic doctor I will recommend to start a conservative treatment for at least 8-12 months. Starting with good habits, less stress, 7-8 hr of sleep, oral nutraceuticals, oral or topical meds scubas finasteride or minoxidil, LED therapy and PRP at least 4 session. Then do an assessment and consider a hair transplant once you try all these alternatives.

Answer: PRP is great for young patients! PRP is a great option for younger patients (under 35) looking to improve their hair and/or delay the need for hair transplantation. It works best when performed as a series of 3 - 4 treatments separated by 1 month each. After this, maintenance treatments are suggested every 4 - 6 months to maintain the effect for around 2 years. Results from PRP can be variable, however, because the concentration of growth factors in the blood vary between people and the time of the day based on individual stress levels.

Answer: A combination approach is best There are many patients with moderate to severe androgenetic hair loss who wonder whether it's worth it to do PRP or go straight to a hair transplant procedure. Each situation is different and likely depends on several factors. Consider your goals and where you are starting. PRP might improve hair density and quality, but results would depend on concentration and dose of platelets in the PRP, age and overall health, type of PRP system used, and whether you are combining with other treatmetns at home such as microneedling, topical growth factors or medications (e.g. minoxidil, finasteride), low-level laser therapy (LLLT), Vit D, massage, etc. In general when considering moderate to severe hair loss, transplantation will have better results, however there are important considerations and even transplanted hair will not last forever.
