Safe to microneedle/derma roll with PRP 14 months post FUE transplant to crown & front of head?

January 8, 2023
Asked By:Kyle S. D. in Tustin, California

Hello, I've been hearing some conflicting answers, and would like to know if it’s safe to the transplanted hair follicles to have a microneedling/dermaroll with PRP/stem cell treatment done at a DR’s office? I’m worried about transplanted follicle damage. The transplant helped hair density, but it still looks thin and I'd like more improvement. I don’t live near my surgeon anymore. Should only needle injection be used with PRP instead of a dermaroller? Appreciate your advice!

Kulakarn Amonpattana, MD says:

Hello I'm Dr. Wipawan Vathananai, a co-worker of Dr. Kulakarn Amonpattana, from BHI Clinic, Bangkok, Thailand. I think getting PRP once a week is a bit too much for your scalp. Furthermore, LLLT once a week is good enough to maintain the hair.

What is behind each of these opinions on when to get PRP after hair transplant?
Kulakarn Amonpattana, MD says:

Currently, there is no standard protocol of the optimal time to start PRP after a hair transplant. At our clinic, we offer one intra-operative PRP during hair transplantation and if the patient wants to continue, they can start at 4 weeks after the surgery.
