How much does PRP treatment cost for hair loss?

Question

How much is it per session and total, at your average doctor? Can this be done at any dermatologist, is it covered by insurance?

Jeff Rapaport, MD · Answer

PRP costs vary  greatly. We charge $600 for a 22 ml blood draw. Insurance does not cover PRP. This produces approximately 6to 7 cc's of concentrated PRP at four times  blood levels.  Our protocol includes monthly treatments for 4 months and then a reevaluation prior to the maintenance phase. We discount the maintenance phase 10%.. find a PRP expert. Ask to see photos

PRP therapy can be used to treat hair loss. When using it for this purpose, I would recommend seeing an experienced hair restoration surgeon who specializes in PRP for hair loss. Going to a specialist will likely lead to better results since they are experienced in this area. Regarding cost, prices can vary greatly office to office and depends on a wide variety of factors such as quality of equipment used, nutritive components added, and doctor involvement during the process. When it comes to PRP, cheaper is not always better, as the price is largely based on the cost of equipment from manufacturers. If the price is low, they may be using lesser quality products which could yield lesser results. From my experience, insurance does not cover this procedure. Keep in mind PRP therapy is done in multiple sessions to achieve desired results. Typically 3-4 sessions in a 1 year period and then yearly maintenance sessions.

The research performed and the anecdotal evidence would suggest that thickness of hair and density can improve with PRP injections.  The number of sessions as well as the quality of PRP obtained will vary considerably physician to physician.

Hello and thank you for your question! We do PRP injections at our practice for hair loss. It is a very specialized technique in which we separate the platelet rich plasma (PRP), which is rich in growth factors, from your own blood. We then use this to stimulate hair growth on the scalp. It is very effective and we have seen great results after about 6 months into your treatment. Cost of PRP is dependent upon skill and experience of your provider, as well as the location of the practice. Please keep in mind the importance of proper technique. It is important to see a board certified dermatologist with knowledge and expertise in this area. Although this is a quick, noninvasive procedure, it does require great skill. I recommend having an in person consultation with a board certified dermatologist with experience. Best of luck!
