Considering getting PRP done - likely with Acell. What's considered to be the best concentration levels for PRP? Results seems to vary across doctors. What are best practices for implementing and maximizing success with PRP? What sort of questions should I ask the practitioners during consults regarding the process to help ensure I choose wisely? Also, I believe I have Androgenic Alopecia and Telogen Effluvium - would PRP help?

Answer: PRP Concentration Thank you for your question. The general consensus is that a 4-6 fold increase in platelet concentration works the best. Let me make one other suggestion. Look for an experienced physician offering the ALMI hair restoration procedure. This procedure involves harvesting a small syringe of your fat, micronizing it to isolate the regenerative cells and then combining it with PRP (growth factors). This is then injected subdermally. It is best to do 1 or 2 additional PRP sessions following the ALMI procedure to get the optimal results. PRP has growth factors and recruits stem cells into the area. The hair loss process is associated with a loss of stem cells in the area so combining your own stem cells with your PRP should be more effective. I hope this was helpful - Dr. Moore
