I’m looking to have prp on my eyebrows for hair regrowth after stress, covid TE and now resolved SD I’ve seen reference to risk of shock loss or hair shedding in prp if too much is injected in any one site. One very good consultant indicated he would inject ‘blebs’ under the surface at follicle depth - if this is essentially a bubble of the plasma could this represent an increased risk of fall? He seemed to think the issue was more about interval length between treatments.

Answer: Shock loss from PRP? Englewood Cliffs NJ In my opinion, shock loss from plain PRP does not occur if injected using the Rapaport subdermal depo technique. Possible causes of shock loss are excessive intradermal injections or using a extracellular matrix such as Acell. These put pressure on the follicles. The same holds true for Eyebrow and beard injections. Find a PRP expert. Jeff Rapaport MD FAAD Realself Hall of Fame
