How effective is PRP one year after a hair transplant? (Photos)

Question

I am 12 months post op from my second FUE procedure and feel that the growth peaked and looked next after 6 months. Now that I’m 12 months on the hair count has definitely fallen and it looks nowhere near as dense as it did 6 months ago. I have been using Dermmatch and a thickening dry shampoo on my hair for months now and even wondered if this may have had a negative effect? Will a 12 month course of PRP treatment help to bring my hair back and make it look fuller and denser again?

Hello,
Prp will still be effective. Try to get it done every 2-3 months you will see its benefits. 1 session won't give much of a result

Kevin Ende, MD · Answer

Many patients seek PRP after a hair transplant, 1, 2 or more years after.  The transplanted hair is still your hair and should respond to PRP.  More studies will need to be done to address this question directly, but most physicians who inject PRP would recommend this treatment after hair transplant since hair loss is a progressive process in the majority of patients.

Hello, and thank you for your question. PRP injections by themselves or combined with stem cells would definitely help in making your hair thicker and stronger as long as you have existing viable hair follicles. We always recommend taking a supplement which in my practice has become a staple for all patients due to the amazing results we've had, and it's called Nutrafol. I would suggest taking that for a minimum of 4-6 months as well. The number of treatments you would need will vary as per your results, and it's best to get an in person evaluation with an expert physician. Most likely, a series of 3-4 treatments followed by maintenance sessions every 3 months should give great results.
 Best, Dr Rosy Sandhu

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.

Thank you for you question, This needs an in-person evaluation. I suggest seeing a hair loss expert now to evaluate and go over your condition and provide you information about your best treatment options. There are great non-invasive options like prp/progesterone and/or hair transplantation. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer
