Thanks for your question.Unfortunately, hair loss or shedding is not typically a side effect of
PRP treatments so I would recommend following up with your treating
physician.Best of luck.

rivera89PRP as a stand alone treatment should not cause hairloss or lead to shedding. But yes a PRP treatment session can be associated with telogen effluvium post procedure. This can occur in patients with Female pattern hair loss if the anesthesia is administered with epinephrine. I think that epinephrine can accelerate hair loss in these patients and cause temporary increase shedding. I use a lot of caution in administering a ring block in my patients with FPHL. I use plain lidocaine, instead of lidocaine with epinephrine. However, this often does not last long. In those cases, septociane or marcaine plain can extent the duration of the block. The telogen effluvium should resolve, Rogaine may help. All the best,Bernardino A. Arocha, MD
