Is PRP treatment recommended post FUE?

Short answer is no. For a longer answer see Dr. Rassman's answer below. You will likely pay for something that may not work.

Platelet Rich Plasma is believed to have certain growth factors which may stimulate cell division, and hence the renewal of tissue. However this is not a requirement or a necessity to achieve the expected growth following an FUE hair transplant.Successful results following a hair transplant procedure depend on the experience and skill of the surgeon. He or she must be able to select the right grafts which will not be subject to miniaturization. Also how the follicles are handled and treated will matter for their long term survival.While the use of PRP may seem like a good idea in theory, there is no research which supports its ability to improve the growth and overall results of a hair transplant procedure. Instead, it would be best to examine the past work (across ten or more patients) of the doctors you are considering. 

Hi AbdulllWe don't know all the answers about PRP at the time of hair transplant yet. PRP at the time of transplant may protect existing hair and may help graft survival. Some repeat in at 3 or 6 months. A 2005 study by Uebel
looked at 23 patients whose hair transplant grafts were enriched with
PRP or not enriched at the time of transplant. 1 year after the patients surgery it was found that there was a 15.7 % increase in density. Uebel C. Hair Transplant Forum Intl 2005We no longer live in a world where we wonder if PRP works. We have now entered an era where we have evidence it does something and now need to figure out how well it works and who it works in. In addition to Uebel's studies, 7 additional studies help guide the field: 1) Schiavone
et al 2014
Number of patients: 64 patientsDesign: PRP every 3 months Results: At
6 months, 40.6% to 54.7 % had clinically significant change

increase in terminal hairs at 3 months  3) Gkini MA et al
