I drank a few Energy Drinks in the days after PRP for Hair Loss. Did I ruin my treatment?

Question

During the first few days after having my first PRP treatment, I drank about four 16 oz. glasses of one of those concentrated beverage supplements in which you add a couple of squirts to a glass of water. I only realized after the fact that the beverage (Mi0 Energy) contains Niacin, Vitamin B6 and Vitamin B12. I'm so mad at myself. Do you think this was enough to derail my treatment?

The energy drinks should not have an impact on the PRP treatment. Best of luck with the treatment.

Consuming any food or liquid, including energy drinks, around the time of your treatment should have no effect on the results you will obtain with the PRP.

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

No, this is unlikely to negatively impact your results. Prp is effective, but I have a very specific protocol, every 3-4 weeks for 6 months with prp therapy. I also add in progesterone to speed the healing process.  After that the injections are tailored down. You should also be on viviscal and other growth promoting ingredients. See an expert for a formal evaluation. Best, Dr. Emer

No reason why it should.  If you have doubts, avoid it next time and you will have no regrets.

Michele S. Green, MD · Answer

I do a great deal of PRP for hair loss and find it a highly effective way that is non-surgical to grow back hair.  Please don't worry as you didn't ruin the full effect of the treatment.  In the future you should follow the guidelines for PRP injections.  Best, Dr. Green

Jeff Donovan, MD, PhD · Answer

No. If your PRP does not prove helpful it is not because of these drinks. If your PRP does work well, it is not because of these drinks.
