Answer: Long term PRP Long term PRP data is not there but there is promising data is showing that there is regrowth with use. It is good to start when you are younger so there is not a sharp decline as you age. PRP works well in younger individuals who want thicker fuller hair with regrowth. PRP is far less intrusvie in your life then the side effects of medications like finasteride. I recommend seeing a Hair restoration specialist trained in PRP (dermatologist or plastic surgeon) to get a a consultation on their recommendations.

Answer: PRP...Fact vs. Fiction PRP treatments are fast growing in popularity. While there is a good deal of anecdotal data on its positive effects, there is very little randomized controlled (i.e. high quality) data available. With respect to hair restoration, proponent have demonstrated impacts ranging from slowing/cessation of loss to thickening/strengthening of hair. Some will claim to have demonstrated regrowth.Ultimately, there is very little drawback or risk to the procedure with the potential for significant reward. While the mechanism of action is not entirely clear, the effect will likely be rooted in the native concentration of growth factors in any given patient's plasma. Some will have better quality or more concentrated plasma than others.In my experience, it is a nice option for young people who have yet to reach a stable hair pattern (i.e. not ready for FUE grafting/Neograft) and are looking for an adjunct to traditional medical therapy. That being said, it is important to limit your expectations as not everyone experiences regrowth at the same pace (or at all). However, anecdotally speaking, everyone seems to gain some benefit with regular treatments (annually to bi-annually after 3 treatment induction).As always, discuss your concerns with a board certified plastic surgeon (ABPS), with experience in hair restoration.
