In my opinion, the effectiveness of PRP postpartum depends upon your concomitant androgenic alopecia and any other multifactorial causes. If you have shed a significant amount of hair, the ability to achieve the same density may or may not be diminished. Hard to predict. In my opinion, you can always add additional treatments to the PRP such as minoxidil, oral or topical, nutraceuticals, low level laser, finasteride or spironolactone to enhance the response. Find a PRP expert. Ask to see photos.
It may or may not. It really depends if the cause of your hair loss now is exactly the same as it was then. Over time, many women develop an increasing proportion of their hair loss from androgenetic alopecia. If your hair loss was 60 % due to telogen effluvium and 40 % AGA before but is now different than that ...you may find PRP has a different effectiveness overall. Be sure to see an expert. Some women do have an acceleration of androgenetic alopecia post partum.
Short answer - PRP would most likely be as beneficial as before. Nonetheless, get examined, maybe a few labs just to make sure your condition is not multi-factorial. A bit of Bio-identical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) might just be a whole lot cheaper. I suggest you find a good Integrative or Functional Medicine physician that practices BHRT and go from there.Get your hormones straightened out and then do a treatment or two of PRP to help push things along. Still much cheaper than a series of PRP hair regeneration treatments.Hope I have helped. Wishing you the best outcome!Warmly,Arbella Sarkis, MD

While PRP is generally well-tolerated, about 1 in 150 people who have a PrP procedure may experience swollen lymph nodes. You should tell your doctor right away so they can check it out. It’s important to rule out infections quickly, but often the swelling is related to the procedure itself. P...
Exosomes, may one day, be the gold standard but at present they cannot be injected and will add a lot of cost. I would certainly start with PRP, since it is very easy have done to you, and have virtually no side effects. you need to plan to do 3 sessions, each spaced a month apart.david berman md
There is no reason that you can't have PRP treatments while you are taking a bets-blocker. To obtain Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) a small amount of blood is taken and placed in a centrifuge and spun down. This separates its components into different layers. The portion with the...
Hello, Yes, as an alternative you can get prp every 2-3 months and use oral supplements with no side effects such as biotin.
Thank you for question. You are 29-years-old, and had PRP applied to your scalp with microneedling using lidocaine. After about a week, you 3-4 times the normal hair shedding. The doctor said it was likely the microneedling. You are asking if the shed is normal, when it might resolve, and if you...
