Can I get PRP for hair loss with Factor V Leiden?

Question

I am a 45 year old female. I wish to have PRP for hair loss. I am heterogeneous for Factor V Leiden. I have never had a blood clot and am only aware that I have Factor V Leiden because of genetic testing. I don't require blood thinners. I have seen conflicting advice. Any guidance would be appreciated. Thank you.

Hello there! There are no formal contraindications for PRP hair in Factor V Leiden carriers. The main contraindications would be localized infection/ inflammation or current infectious or inflammatory systemic disease. For best results, it is also important to rule out secondary hair loss causes such as vitamin and nutritional deficiencies, anemia, hypothyroid and other chronic diseases. At times a scalp biopsy is needed to confirm hair loss cause and determine if PRP is the right treatment for you.
