I have started two PRP with microneedling treatments for my genetic female pattern hair loss where the PRP is administered topically after microneedling Before I continue with the additional two treatments recommended by the surgeon, I wanted to reach out to get feedback from the professional community on what is more effective, microneedling or injections to maximize the results. Also, what about A Cell?
Answer: PRP injections are better for hair regrowth! Hi,Thanks for your question. The problem with microneedling the PRP into the skin is that most microneedling systems can't penetrate deep enough to deliver the PRP to the follicle itself. The microneedling with help the scalp skin get stronger which will help support the follicle but the follicle itself won't be the beneficiary. Injections into the subcutaneous and subdermal area bring the PRP with the associated growth factors and angiogenic factors directly to the follicle to improve its cellular content and increase blood supply. If you have enough PRP, it is certainly fine to microneedle the rest in after you've first injected.We offer ACell to patients who want a single injection treatment regimen vs. our 4 injection treatment course without ACell.I hope this helps?Good luck,Dr. Shah

Answer: Hair Loss -- PRP, Progesterone, Stem Cells/ACELL, Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUE), Spironolactone or Finesteride, Rogaine when finesteride has failed some doctors will use it. its best to be using PRP/stem cell (A Cell) injections, viviscal and topical minoxidil at the same time. Best, Dr. Emer.

Answer: PRP, Microneedling and A Cell for Female Pattern Hair Loss In my clinical practice, deep dermal injections have shown slightly stronger results when compared to microneedling. As you’ve learned, PRP is a powerful treatment option for female pattern baldness, as it stimulates follicle growth and slows follicle miniaturization. Platelet rich plasma contains approximately five to seven times the number of platelets found in normal circulating blood along with bioactive proteins that aid in wound healing.

Answer: PRP for Hair Loss Studies have shown that the best results come from injecting PRP and then microneedling immediately after. Make sure that the physician who does your treatments is using a system that produces a high platelet count. Most people need at least 3 treatments one month apart. Best of luck to you.

Answer: PRP injections superior to microneedling in the setting of hair restoration Studies have shown that injection is superior to topical application of PRP following microneedling in the setting of hair loss. This ultimately makes more sense as it allows for the delivery of PRP directly to where it is needed most (the follicular level).As always, discuss your concerns with a board certified plastic surgeon (ABPS) with experience in hair restoration.Donovan Rosas MD
