Is it harmful to have PRP sessions in two different body parts one week apart?

lisooshkaMay 2, 2019
I am considering scheduling PRP for hair loss and then for knee arthritis with a 1 week gap.

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
