Background: I have had 2 times hair transplant and just started finestride for the first time. I am a little concerned that having the laser treatment once a week for 6 months will not be effective. The reason why I can only go once a week is due to work, and the distance being 2 hours to get to the clinic. If I won’t get much results from such little usage then ( once a week ) would it be better to cancel the laser therapy and just do the PRP

Answer: PRP and hair transplantation? ENGLEWOOD CLIFFS NJ
Currently, there is no standard protocol of the optimal time to start PRP after a hair transplant. At our clinic, we offer one intra-operative PRP during hair transplantation and if the patient wants to continue, they can start at 4 weeks after the surgery.
Hello I'm Dr. Wipawan Vathananai, a co-worker of Dr. Kulakarn Amonpattana, from BHI Clinic, Bangkok, Thailand. In my opinion, all of above mentioned treatments are not that effective comparing to medications such as minoxidil or bicalutamide. PRP, PRF or Regenera Activa can act as growth factor...
Yes, PRP has been shown to increase viable follicles that have been transplanted. Many practitioners are even using this as part of their transplant protocol now to ensure better results.
