Answer: PRP and hair loss Typically patients will need multiple treatments with PRP before an effect is noted. I typically recommend a series of 3 treatments (4-6 weeks apart) followed by yearly or biannual maintenance therapies.The results can vary from halting of hair loss, thickening of residual hair and hair regrowth. The outcome is variable from patient to patient and likely dependent upon the concentration of growth factors etc. in the PRP.As always, discuss your concerns with a board certified plastic surgeon (ABPS) with experience in hair restoration.
