Should I stop taking vitamins before my PRP for hair loss treatment?

In my experience you should not have to stop taking any vitamins before getting a PRP injection.  I have noted that the risk of bleeding is extremely low and I do not ask my patients to stop any of the vitamins that they take.

You shouldn't need to stop Vitamin supplementation for your PRP treatments. Vitamins B and C will be very beneficial to your PRP therapy. Supplements that cause blood-thinning are generally herbal, and Vitamin E in high DV% may contribute to thinning as well. While Vitamin supplementation is always a benefactor to hair restoration therapy, patients should not be completely reliant on them to supplement a poor diet. Please be sure to maintain a balanced, healthy diet and stay well hydrated. Best, Dr. Anil Shah

Thank you for your question. Multivitamins are okay to keep taking, however there are some vitamins such as fish oils, vitamin E, and  omega 3 that cause the patient to bleed more and bruise. We would recommend stopping those supplements anywhere from 7-10 days before your PRP procedure. Good luck. If you are considerating transplant than review your meds with a surgeon
