Is prp beneficial after a hair transplant? No previous hair loss, procedure was initially done to target forehead.

Asked By:antoon123456 in Brussel, Brussel, België

Hello, I've had a hair transplant 1 month ago on my frontal area. I've had a big forehead since I was a kid, I did not have a receding hairline, I was not balding. I do have thick hair and i'm not balding anywhere. The clinic advises me to have 3 PRP sessions. These are €300 each. I'm wondering if it's really needed for me to have PRP if i'm not balding? Does it really help? And is it worth having just 1 session?

Jeff Rapaport, MD says:

In my opinion, only the LLLT would improve with hair trimming. The other modalities should retain effectiveness. I would assess results with an AI computer phototrichogram analysis and then decide if it's necessary to make changes. Find a hair expert. Jeff Rapaport MD FAAD Realself Hall of Fame
