Would PRP be effective if started 2 years after hair transplant?

Hi, PRP therapy can help to promote the growth of existing hair follicles, as well as stimulate the growth of new hair follicles. This can result in thicker, healthier-looking hair with improved texture and density. PRP therapy can be effective for promoting hair growth and improving the appearance of the hair after a hair transplant, even if it is started 2 years after the procedure. However, we offer 4 session of PRP to our patients and do the first PRP on the operation day. We generally proceed the rest of them in a year, on month 3rd, 5th and 8th to get a better result! Moreover, the effectiveness of PRP therapy can vary depending on a variety of factors, such as the individual's age, overall health, and the extent of hair loss. Additionally, it is important to note that PRP therapy is not a one-time treatment and typically requires a series of treatments over a period of several months to achieve the desired results.

Hello Sledok, thank you for your great question regarding would PRP be effective if started 2 years after hair transplant. There are two parts to this answer. First, I do not think PRP would be effective TO THE TRANSPLANTED HAIRS two years after hair transplant. However, I do think PRP would be effective to stimulate surrounding hair growth. Therefore, even though it is unlikely hair transplanted two years ago will be stimulated by PRP, I definitely think PRP is worth doing. I hope this helps to answer your question regarding whether PRP would be effective for hair growth on hair transplanted two years ago.

At 2 years out from your hair transplant, any grafts that have not yet grown will not grow and did not take. PRP will not help these grafts. PRP is helpful to maintain grafts that did take and help slow down/prevent hair follicles behind the grafts.
