Can hair loss following PRP after hair transplant grow back?

Question

Hi, I had hair transplant done 8 months ago, everything was growing well but a month ago I did PRP ( via mesogun/ microneedling) and I can see I lost some of the hair transplant:(,I feel it make my hair totally worst. As it was new hairs, can it grow back or it might be permanently damage via the needle? I am really down:( Many thanks in advance

Yes! I highly recommend getting regular injections of PRP into your scalp. Think of your hair as grass, PRP is like the fertilizer to continue stimulating and keeping that grass green and growing. However, there are some things that you need to look at before running out and getting fertilizer. Not all PRP is created equal. There are different types of machines to harvest and concentrate the PRP. You want to make sure that the PRP you are receiving is a true dual spin PRP machine like Emcyte. This machine and procurement process is validated to concentrate your platelets 7-9x. This is important because if it isn't concentrated appropriately, you will not see the best results. Also, I would not microneedle it into your scalp. That can cause so scarring. I would only inject it using a 30 gauge needle, after I did a scalp block of course. There are additional adjuncts to add as well like red light therapy, finasteride, and minoxidil. Good luck and thank you for your question!

My recommendation is to have an tricoscopy evaluation in order to assess if there are any hair follicles in the location that you are experiencing hair loss. PRP results is an effective treatment but results varies. My best advice is that you call your physician that performed the initial hair transplant and follow his recommendations. About PRP there is no standard of care protocol and protocols vary depending of the PRP tubing company.

Thanks for your question. As you may know, isn't possible to give an answer to your problem without a consultation. Please see a doctor for a complete exam. Regularly, it's not recommended to make two treatments at the same time, anyway, you may need more time to see the best results. Good luck!
