Can I use the helmet right after getting PRP?
Answer: Using a laser helmet after a PRP Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) works in a completely different way than Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) injections with regards to the prevention of hair loss. In my practice I often recommend that both be used together to increase the likelihood that hair loss can be stopped. So it is not a problem at all to use the helmet in between PRP injections. The effect of the PRP injections will not be altered.

Answer: IRestore with PRP Utilizing the iRestore laser helmet will not have a negative effect to your PRP treatments. They could actually work really well together. It is important to know that visible hair growth is observed around 8-10 weeks post-FIRST treatment of PRP. So if you are starting the iRestore helmet in the middle of monthly PRP treatments, it will be hard to determine if the PRP is specifically working for you. I would advise starting the iRestore helmet after your 3rd, maybe your 4th, PRP treatment, once you've examined the effects of the initial PRP treatments. Best, Dr. Anil Shah

Answer: Laser helmet and PRP? Englewood Cliffs New Jersey Provided your PRP was performed with injections, there should be a synergy between a laser helmet and the PRP. If your PRP was performed topically with micro-needling, you need to wait one day. I recommend the subdermal Depo injection technique for PRP Therapy. Find a PRP expert. Good luck.

Answer: Prp with laser helmet In our practice we recommend that the helmet is used in addition to the PRP injections. While the injections are once per month, the helmet can be used 2-3 times per week. The combination of the two very different treatments, helps to maximize the potential for the stimulation of the hair follicle.

Answer: IRestore Go for it! Low level laser light therapy doesn't cause major problems or interactions so that is the bueaty of it. If you can use it on a pregnant person it means it is pretty damn safe! The should actually work well together. For me the biggest downside of the LLLT helmets is simply that people forget to continue using them. If you have the will power it is a great device! Hope that helps!
