Regarding costs of PRP: many quote prices do $1350 but is this “per treatment” or “per treatment plan” of 3 treatments?

Question

A lecture by UCLA plastic surgeon found hair growth was stimulated most successfully by three treatments in 1 month increments. That’s over $4000 just in the first 3 months! And then you must continue treatments every 4-6 months, so that even more money? Considering all of this, isn’t hair transplants a more economical choice?

PRP treatment price differs from clinic to clinic. Mostly the price goes up based on the experience of the doctor.  İf you are interested in PRP its good to have it 4-6 times a year.

PRP pricing varies based on type of PRP.  Not all PRP is the same so beware.  We utilize different types of PRP and PRPFM based on patient needs and typically recommend a series of 3 treatments.  Best Anil Shah

In my opinion, the treatment protocol of monthly treatments for 3 or 4 months has been proven  as part of the initial program for PRP usage. Prices per treatment will vary. In New Jersey, we charge $600 per session. You need to find a PRP expert who is in your budget. Transplant surgeons have now added PRP treatments before and after transplantation. This provides a better yield on the transplant as well as keeps  the native hair growing. In conclusion, you may need to consider all the alternatives. Ask to see photos.PRP hair MD.com

So prices vary depending who you go to, board certifications, experience, which state you go to. The most important thing to understand about prp combination treatment will achieve the best results vs just prp alone, prp + minoxdil +/- low light laser therapy ,+/- finasteride or spironolactone work best...and success rate of prp 1/3 will not get results, 1/3 will see fair increase density/growth and 1/3 will see excellent results, if the provider is the experienced enough about getting the right depth and growth protocol for male and female pattern balding growth. Maintenance most of the time is required which most of it based on expert oppinion. Hope that helps with your financial consideration. Thanks for the consultation.

You can shop around and get prices over the phone.  For some types of hair loss (a bald spot on the vertex or top of your scalp) a hair transplant may be more direct and cost effective,  Many people don't have a well defined area of hair loss and PRP will make more sense.  One PRP treatment will not be enough to see results.  Most physicians will explain this to you and offer a package of treatments where the individual treatment price becomes discounted.

PRP for hair loss is for thinning hair, not for areas of baldness which can only be treated by performing hair transplant. The cost of PRP for hair loss will vary from clinic to clinic and from region to region. In some places it can be as low as 500 per treatment. In other areas it can be as high as 1500. Average cost is around 750 to 1000 per treatment.Hope that helps.

The pricing of PRP treatment will vary. There are numerous different types of systems used for PRP as well as different variations in the way people administer the treatment leading to a wide array in pricing. The quality of PRP will vary substantially depending on the system used so I would encourage you to do your research. Also there are some who perform the treatment with only a few injection sites, while there may be people who get good results utilizing this approach most of the studies use a method injecting every square cm which in turn requires more of the physicians time which may lead to a higher cost of the procedure as well. My patients have been satisfied enough with their treatment after the first 3 treatments that most of them elect to do it every 4 to 6 months to ensure they don’t lose the benefit they have gained.

Hi trdewitt,The price varies. There are reputable med spa clinics that offer it for as low as $549 per treatment. Typically, it would be in the vicinity of $1000 per treatment. So if you have 3 treatments, the cost is multiplied by 3.  Weigh your options versus hair transplant.The use of PRP is a great treatment option for hair loss because it increases both hair count and hair thickness in individuals exhibiting a certain kind of baldness pattern.
There is a careful process involved in using PRP for hair regrowth, beginning with a blood draw from the client’s arm. The tube of blood is then processed in a centrifuge, which spins the blood tube to separate out the red blood cells from the plasma. The plasma, rich in platelets, is then injected directly into the scalp at the level of the hair follicles. The process is meticulous but typically, the entire procedure takes less than a half hour and is tolerable even without numbing.
The plasma (the separated fluid without the red blood cells) contains white blood cells and platelets, which are rich in growth factors.
Growth factors, in a sense, play the role of messengers, signaling skin cells to function.The good news for anyone with thinning hair is that growth factors can help stimulate the activity of the hair follicles and promote new hair growth. It also encourages neovascularization or the development of new blood vessel pathways.
Minimal downtime, if any, is needed. A warm shower, as the hot temperature will enhance blood flow and circulation throughout the scalp. This means going a day or two without your typical hair maintenance (coloring, processing, blow-drying, etc.)
For best results, consistency is key. Treatments are typically performed once a month for the first three to four months, and then every three to six months, depending on the individual client’s response and results. Anticipated results can first be seen within two to three months usually.
The first result that patients usually see is decreased hair shedding, followed by early regrowth and increased length of hair. Receiving treatments every three to six months on a long-term basis are optimal for continuing to stimulate the growth factors and stem cells that are associated with regrowth and stopping hair fallout!I hope this helps, Justin Harper, M.D.
