Should microneedling for hair treatment be performed before, immediately after, or on a different day than PRP scalp injections?

Although micro-needling has been shown to be helpful when performed alone, adding PRP to the process is highly beneficial.

You can combine microneedling with prp topical and even do injected as well to get more of a benefit.

Hello and thank you for your question. For the best results I prefer to perform both procedures on the same day.  I hope this helps you. Best wishes.Dr. T

In my practice we do them together. I believe most practices do. We harvest your platletsw and then do some injections combined with microneedeling and then we have some PRP applied topically. Once a month for four months is our protocol. I hope that helps

the point of microneedling is to create minor openings in the skin (eg the face area) and then oftentimes the PRP in applied topically to this area. I do not see why doing microneedling in the scalp would be beneficial since i am already injecting the PRP directly into the scalp, so it is clearly reaching the hair roots. david berman md

Neither microneedling and PRP in my opinion should be done before or after a hair transplant as the microneedling will increase infection risk and the PRP will not impact the hair transplant.
