I read everywhere that about 70% of people see a difference. She told me she will be honest and the success rate is only 10% (and that 90% of people see no difference at all). She said it should only be used if we’ve tried everything else and it didnt work. Is she just bad or is she really being honest? Please only honest responses, i don’t have much money but i’m willing to pay if it really makes a difference.
Answer: Answer may vary So about 1/3 see no results, another 1/3 see fair results and about 1/3 see great results. Success varies on age, inflammatory state, and such. The older you are generally after 60s i see less results with prp. The best results are always achieved when prp is combined with other medical treatments such as minoxdil or finasteride. Depends how much hair loss you have and what your norwood and ludwig score is should be evaluated, I tell my patient if the whole crown of your scalp is shiny and you cannot see follicle on trichoscope exam than probably prp wont do much and may to think about hair transplant with medical management of topical or off label use of minoxdil to grow hair much as possible. Low light laser therapy too in combination with prp and minoxdil has fda approval standing as well

Answer: Factors Influencing the Success Rate of PRP PRP for hair loss is undergoing active research, and methods for therapy are rapidly advancing and improving. Already though, numerous clinical trials have shown significant hair regrowth in patients with various diagnoses. At our clinic, the vast majority of patients experience substantial improvements within 2–5 months. That said, there are several factors that can impact the outcome of PRP treatment, including the PRP centrifuge used (and how high the concentration of platelets), the number of injections performed, and the patient’s hair loss diagnosis. It is possible that the 10% success rate you were given was skewed by factors like these or reflective of incomplete PRP treatments. The majority of studies are showing much higher success rates. Again, success rates are altered by the clinician’s equipment and treatment techniques, so it’s best to learn the success rate of the specific clinic you plan to work with.
