Is it safe to have PRP after Hair Transplant surgery, or could it cause the hair to fall out?

It is probably safe to have PRP after hair transplant surgery but there is no need for PRP for the success of surgery.

Hello,
Yes it is absolutley safe to get prp aftar hair transplant operation. Prp helps with hair growth and prevents shedding

The answer is that we don't know as there are no studies demonstrating an added benefit.  Many transplant surgeons will pre inject both the donor scalp and recipient sites with PRP prior to surgery as well as during surgery.  In addition, they will soak the grafts in PRP increasing their survival.  Some will even continue PPR injections post surgery and have reported significant increase in results and reduction in thinning out of the existing hair (shock loss) in the donor and recipient sites. 

I routinely recommend PRP in conjunction with hair transplant for my hair restoration patients. PRP can be performed before, during, or after a hair transplant session. I consider PRP an additional treatment that can help with the overall hair restoration result just like minoxidil, propecia, and others.
I always recommend seeing a fellowship-trained hair restoration surgeon to discuss all hair restoration options in detail.
All the best,

While there is no good studies that show that PRP will improve a hair transplant, I have seen it "wake up" follicles that have been slow to grow at the 6 month interval. I generally don't routinely use PRP with hair transplants unless growth is behind the curve.

I believe the jury is still out in post transplant..  We are getting good results in patients that have had transplants when we combine PRP with minoxidil and skin rolling. The transplant literature supports PRP as a adjunct with promise. Double blind studies are lacking.

Platelet Rich Plasma has very little support (if anything)
in terms of convincing evidence. The procedure requires first wounding the skin
before applying the plasma. It is known
that when the skin heals from such injuries, part of the process involves the
formation of new hair follicles.

If any hair does emerge from this process, it is extremely
minimal. And it is not clear if this growth can be attributed to the PRP or the
creation of the wounds.

More than anything, the results of your hair transplant
would depend on how well the grafts were selected (follicles which are in the
process of miniaturizing would not produce long term success) and how the
follicles were stored and handled.

Also,
avoid using harsh chemicals on your head as well as hair pieces 

There isn't any good data on PRP as it relates to hair graft survival. The theory is that growth factors in the platelets stimulate follicles to grow. It is probably not harmful and has minimal risks, but I would discuss the risks and possible benefits with your hair transplant surgeon before undergoing treatment. 

Hello, you can get PRP Therapy if you are dealing with hair loss before getting a hair transplant to boost hair quality and growth, as a non-surgical method. If you already lost most of your hair, you can also get PRP Therapy during a hair transplant treatment or after getting a hair transplant as well.It is a good therapy form; doesn't cause shedding, on the contrary, boosts hair quality and hair growth.

Yes it is safe.  I do it routinely with every restoration case at the same time, then will wait about a month before I retreat.  Good luck! Dr. Rome
