Emrah Cinik, MD · Answer

Hello,
İn order to see result you need to get prp done every 2-3 month within a year. 1 sessio won't do much.

Jeff Rapaport, MD · Answer

It is difficult for me to determine the timing history of your PRP injections. The protocol that has been validated in the journal Dermatologic Surgery, includes monthly injections for 3 to 4 months followed by a maintenance Of injections every 3 to 4 months.. When looking at your crown, it seems that you have some improvement. Have your hair loss expert determine if the density of your hair has increased. In addition you can add oral or topical minoxidil, finasteride, nutraceuticals and low level laser to improve the effects of PRP. We believe that the subdermal depot injection technique (Rapaport) produces verifiable results. Find a PRP expert. Ask to see photos.

PRP does not work for everyone. If you don’t see an improvement by 9-13 months it may not be the right treatment for you.

James Vogel, MD (retired) · Answer

Treatment protocols and quality of injections can vary with PRP treatments.  In our office we recommend three treatments in the first year with the first two 6-8 weeks apart.  After that we do the third treatment eight months after the first treatment.  We use PRP and ACELL and have seen excellent results with this protocol.  You should certainly consult with the physician that performed your procedure.  We evaluate full results at the eight month visit with photos and a sophisticated computer software designed to measure hair diameters to objectively evaluate our treatment.
