How much hair density shall I gain with PRP? (Photo)

The research performed and the anecdotal evidence would suggest that thickness of hair and density can improve with PRP injections.  The number of sessions as well as the quality of PRP obtained will vary considerably physician to physician.

There is not an exact estimate of how much hair you will regrow with the PRP.  It has had promising results thus far but not definitive definition of the results. Most of our patients are able to notice it after the 2-3 treatments.  However, each patient is different and responds differently  as a result.  I recommend that you speak with a board certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon who is trained in PRP for a consultation. I wish you all the best!

PRP can decrease hair shedding, increase the diameter of the hair shafts (30%) and potentially regrow hair. It is difficult to predict how much regrowth.  The amount of regrowth is dependent upon the length of time that the hair has been lost. After approximately four to six years, the follicular units are no longer present and there cannot be regrowth.  If the follicular units are present, a recent study showed that hair density can approve 31%.

sibananda,Thank you for your question. As with any medical treatment individual responses may vary so it is not possible to forecast what your response to treatment or density will be. However, in our practice we have been seeing positive responses to our PRP treatments in the vast majority of our patients. We find PRP helps to enhance faster healing, faster growth of hair trainsplants, and reversal of hair thinning in patients with miniaturization or hair thinning. Please check out our photo gallery to see results from our PRP treatment..

PRP is an excellent and safe procedure for hair rejuvenation especially for recent hair loss and the loss has not been there for too long. I the area is devoid of any follicles then there is nothing that PRP can do wake up and rejuvenate the hair follicles, From the picture you have posted, you seem to be a good candidate for giving PRP a shot. 

Thank you for your question,PRP can reduce hair shedding and increase the diameter o the hair but it is difficult to determine the result due to other factors. The patient's role in the process is very important along with the medical part. There are many factors to consider before reaching the desired goal.  For instance, the use of alcohol diminishes the body's ability to release stem cells, smoking reduces the vascular supply that feeds follicles, certain medications also hinder such as N saids and Corticosteroids, having a recent fever or illness should give reason to wait up to 60 days before treatment and if follicles have been absent for more than 4-6 years those units will not regenerate.With some of these things in mind, one must consider health and lifestyle of the individual before going forward with the procedure. PRP is a wonderful plan for hair therapy. It does help with shedding, the diameter and regrowth but some of the outcomes depend on the individual doing their part as well.  If the patient and doctor work together and compliance is foremost, then the results should be achievable.As always, it is important for your to consult with your doctor about any questions or concerns you may have. They are our best resource.Thank you for your question.  Best wishes in your endeavors!
