I started noticing my hair loss around the beginning of April. It seemed suddenly thin all over. In May I decided to start a PRP treatment in my area. Two months have passed, I have since done 3 treatments (today was my third) and I saw the "progress pictures", and my hair didn't look any better, even thinner. How long until I see results? Should I be seeing them already?
Answer: How long for PRP to work?? Ask Dr Ellen This varies between individuals but keep in mind that PRP not only stimulates new hair growth but also causes thickening of hair and faster rates of growth. There are other steps you can also take under your doctor's care including use of minoxidil and propecia. Propecia will help with hair shedding. Give the PRP some time, it made a big difference for me!In good health,Ellen Mahony, MD

Answer: PRP- how long until I see results? Thank you for your question. Timing and results from PRP vary widely but overall many people have had success with hair growth and diminished loss. The literature supports initial improvements to hair density at approximately 3 months. This time frame, however, is not a "hard rule" and many patients take longer to demonstrate improvements in growth. Hang in there for now and wait to see what happens. Not everyone is a good candidate for this treatment so please see a Board Certified or Board Eligible Plastic Surgeon to evaluate if you may benefit. Good luck!
