PRP for hair loss. My doctor won't administer anesthesia before the procedure. Is this normal?

There are a number of options to keep a patient comfortable during a PRP treatment. Topical numbing creams, inhaled nitrous/ProNox, and injected local all play a role. However, different practitioners will have differing protocols.As always, discuss your concerns with a board certified plastic surgeon (ABPS) with experience in hair restoration.Donovan Rosas MD
