Yes, PRP is effective in treating hair loss. I recommend doing at least 3-6 treatments spaced 6 weeks apart due to follicle growth cycles. We are also having our patients use the "igrow" helmet 30 minutes per day in between treatments. I hope this helps you, be well.Larry Nichter, MD, MS FACS

Each collecting system will work a little differently but I typically obtain 4mL of PRP from 30mL of whole blood.  Not everyone is a good candidate for this treatment so please see a Board Certified or Board Eligible Plastic Surgeon to evaluate if you may benefit. Good luck! This content is for ...

There really shouldn't be any need to take either.  In fact, NSAIDS can reduce the impact of PRP by inhibiting the inflammatory process which is essential to the function of platelets and healing.If pain is a concern in the future, applying a numbing cream to the area in advance of treatment ...
