When a prp injection is done...how far out from the injection point does a single injection spread out? In other words, how much scalp coverage does a single injection cover?

Answer: PRP coverage The first aspect of your question to point out is that a "single injection" is not a precise measurement how much PRP is injected in one site, as many injectors acquire different techniques of the quantity per injection. The naked eye cannot observe the depth nor width of the spread of their injections. The important thing to know is that PRP "spreads" to wherever it needs to be allocated for enhancing the scalp's cellular mechanisms. Ultimately, PRP will end up primarily around miniaturized hairs that have depleted cellular machinery for growth. Best injection strategies for PRP should involve injecting near sites of miniaturized hairs, which can be visualized by Trichoscopy magnification. Best,Dr. Anil Shah

Answer: Dispersion from a PRP injection? Englewood Cliffs New Jersey This is an excellent question. The answer depends upon how the PRP is delivered. Ifthe PRP is applied after micro-needling of the skin, there is minimal spread. If an injection is intradermal, meaning is into the skin itself, there is not much spread of the PRP. If an injection is in the subdermal area, there exists an anatomical space where the PRP can spread. This is the basis behind my subdermal Depo injection technique. Theoretically, gravity can take the PRP inches away from the injection site. Find a PRP expert. Ask to see photos.Jeff Rapaport MDRealself All-star

Answer: PRP Treatment Hi, How are you? Typically if the PRP treatment is performed correctly, the DR will inject the whole scalp. However, it will not be coverage from new hairs that you will notice. It will be the small, miniaturized hair that you will see begin to get thicker and stronger. Giving you back volume and fullness. If you are looking for a certain amount of coverage you are going to need a hair transplant. PRP is just a prevention.

Answer: Area Of Coverage Of Single PRP Injection There are many factors that can impact how far PRP may migrate and still remain effective. In an ideal world, when prepared and delivered correctly as I use in my protocol, the effective migration range of PRP is not far. My observation have generally been between 0.5cm and 0.75cm.
