It is best to contact your doctor about post operative care and instructions since each doctor has a different regimen.PRP is not a requirement after surgery.

Robert M. Bernstein, MD · Answer

The answer to your question is not yet known as the use of PRP post-op is relatively new and protocols vary so much. It is not even clear if it is of any benefit at all when used post op, since the incisions used in the procedure and the implanted grafts bring copious amounts of platelets and growth factors naturally to the area. That said, a reasonable protocol would be 10 days post-op, then at 1 month, 3-months and 6-months.

PRP maybe taken after hair transplant if you are experiencing hair fall. If that is stable, then you may not even undergo more sittings of PRP. And in case, you do want to go, then different clinics have a different protocol. It maybe better to start it after the transplanted hair have started coming ( 3-4 months post surgery) and follow the schedule as per the clinic you choose

Ilhan Serdaroglu, MD · Answer

İt is just consantrated platelets used a type of vaccine that produced from your own regenerative blood cells. İt helps to enhance hair graft taking capacity of your skin by the help of thrombocyte released growth factors (epithelial and keratinocyte growth factors). İt  triggers vascularisation of bald spot area and fasten the healing process.İt also stimulate weak and miniaturised hair follicles that exist between native hair to become thick, strong terminal hair shaft..But no body exactly knows (there is no accepted protocol) that when we have to start that medication and how many session we need. You may get treatment 3 times after surgery with 3 weeks apart .

A good hair transplant does not need PRP to make it grow. I never use PRP after a hair transplant because the grafts always seem to grow just fine
