Can I repeat PRP in 15 days?

Question

Hello, I am a 31 year old woman, suffering from diffuse generalised alopecia for the longest time. On November 11th 2016 I took my first PRP sitting and took second sitting today December 27 2016. I wish to know if I can go for my third sitting in next 15 days, though my doctor saysaid it can be done after a fortnight I'm still not sure. I'm moving out of country for over a year next month, so if not now, it won't be anytime soon. Post suggest of it should be okay or otherwise Thanks in advance.

PRP treatment is applied at 4-6 week intervals and are made for 4-6 sessions in total. Of course it changes for patients situation. Doctor,s advice is really important in this.

David Deutsch, MD · Answer

Unfortunately,at present there is no standardized clinical protocol as to the time interval between PRP sessions.Most experienced Hair surgeons feel that it should be done every month to 3 months for the first year of treatment.There is no harm in doing another treatment in 15 days,it's just unclear whether or not you will benefit.

Jay Goldstein, MD · Answer

There is no absolute protocol. Some doctors recommend one injection and others recommend up to 5. I generally recommend 3 injections 6 weeks apart with a booster every 6 months. I see no rationale basis for having a treatment 3 weeks apart, although it will certainly do no harm.  If it makes you feel better, it's your call.

Optimal results have been seen with sessions 4- 6 weeks apart. This is the ideal time for the growth factors to have their effects. Dr. L Manrique

I recommend treatments 4-6 weeks apart, however it is really up to your provider. I don't think it would cause any harm if you had another treatment, but I would consult with your provider.
