I did hair transplant 5 years ago but results were not very good but whatever hairs grown after transplant are fine. But what i feel now that they are also thinning a bit. My question is that if I do PRP at my transplant area along with other thinning hair areas, will it improve hair density in transplanted area also also help to grow my crown area where there is baldness?

Answer: PRP...Fact vs. Fiction PRP (anecdotally speaking) has proven to be effective in the arena of hair restoration both as an adjunct to grafting as well as standalone treatment for those who may not (yet) be a candidate for grafting. Patients have demonstrated slowed loss, thickening of existing hair and regrowth. The typical duration of effect is 6-9 months with most patients being treated 2x yearly (at least initially). Ultimately, whether or not PRP will be effective will be dependent upon the patient. Some patient's blood is inherently richer in factors than others leading to a more robust response. PRP is by no means a magic bullet.With regards to your specific question, PRP can help. However, results will vary and outcomes are by no means guaranteed. It is a procedure with low risk and potentially high reward. As always, discuss your concerns with a board certified plastic surgeon (ABPS) with experience in hair restoration.

Answer: Hair Loss -- PRP, Progesterone, Stem Cells, Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUE), Spironolactone or Finesteride, Rogaine PRP likely will not help you at this time you seem to be too far past the time any hair injetions would help however a formal consultation will be best for us to know for sure. Best, Dr. Emer.
