PRP after transplant: Is it possible to damage transplanted follicles with PRP injections?

PRP  injections contain the essential elements needed for tissue restoration, making it especially effective post-transplant. PRP has growth factors which promotes healthier hair growth. It is important to find an experienced professional in your area that can tailor a treatment plan to you. Here in the office, we tend to use combination therapy, utilizing treatments to give you the best results.

Actually no damage but it could have some hair loss temporarily, kindly advise that ask for your physician for the next sessions ..

It is unlikely that PRP done properly would damage transplanted grafts through a prior FUE procedure. The needle is small and injected to a subdermal or superficial depth. The PRP may induce a temporary shed or effluvium. Recovery should be within a few months and hair may come back stronger than it was originally. Good luck!

The PRP with not physically damage the transplanted hairs, but as some of the other doctors mentioned you could have some initial shedding shortly after the PRP trreatment. If shedding of transplanted hairs occur this should be temporary. 

Thank you for posting this question. You cannot "damage" hair follicles with PRP, but it can induce a brief period of shedding. Really any and all treatments that are significantly effective in treating hair loss can cause a brief shedding period when starting the treatment. I would follow up with your doctor and have a look at the photographs that were taken prior to surgery. I hope this information is helpful to you. Kind Regards,Ken Anderson, MD, FISHRS, ABHRSBoard Certified Hair Restoration Surgeon

If you are concerned please follow up with your doctor for an exam.Personalized medical treatment advice on the Internet without a good history and examination is inaccurate and may lead to confusion and misinformation.

Thank you for your question. It is highly unlikely the PRP injections are leading to a shedding of your transplanted follicles. PRP is rich in growth factors which promotes healthier hair growth. Part of our post-transplant protocol includes PRP sessions to promote healthy growth of the transplanted follicles. If you are shedding follicles and noticing a decrease in density I suspect the native follicles are continuing to shed. We all shed around 70 to 100 hair follicles per day as part of the normal turnover. In the coming months these should grow back unless your hair loss is progressing. It is critical to be on a DHT blocker such as finasteride to help prevent or slow the progression of hair loss.I hope this was helpful - Dr. Moore.

If PRP Treatments are done the right way you should have absolutely no loss whatsoever. Losing hair from our PRP treatments isn't possible because it's a natural solution. Its your own blood. It actually boosts the follicles and helps them grow faster.  There is no possible way to lose or shed more with PRP injections because PRP helps stop shedding. 

Hello, Thank you for your question. By 18 month post-op, it is unlikely to have the transplanted follicles get damaged by PRP treatment. PRP is being injected with very fine (thin) needle, so it should not cause any damaging or scarring. 

It is very unlikely that PRP treatments (18 months after FUE) would damage your transplanted follicles.  PRP treatment by injection and/or microneedling is very safe and should not be a concern.
