Hello,
Yes, you can get MRl after prp treatment, there won't be a problem. All you need to be careful is not to wash your head after prp for 1 day

Neal7464,
The MRI should be safe to have. It is a scan using magnetic resonance, without radiation. The main contraindication to MRI is having foreign metal in your body.

All the best,

There will be no issues or interaction between the MRI and your hair. It is a magnetic resonance test so it will not affect the hair.

There are no contraindications. Your hair doctors should be aware of your planned MRI and your radiology doctors should be made aware of your recent PRP.
