I am considering scheduling PRP for hair loss and then for knee arthritis with a 1 week gap. Will the second PRP in a different area diminish the body’s focus on rebuilding and growing the cells in the first area? Will the second PRP, one week later in a different area, make the first session less effective?

Yes it can be.
Some bruising is normal with an intensive manual prp technique and some people will bleed more than others, even with a small needle and superficial technique. You can eat pineapple which has bromelain an enzyme that can help the body clear out the blood causing the bruises....
Microneedling won't help with volume loss, but will improve skin texture/tone.
In my opinion, PRP with Sculptra has shown better benefit when the proper technique is employed than employing the two at different times. The better method is combining platelet rich fibrin (PRF)...
Thank you for your question.
We use PRP with Halo on a regular basis. The micro-channels created by the Halo allow penetration of the PRP and enhance the healing and reduce the recovery time from the Halo treatment.
Good luck
