I just passed my 3rd month from my first and only PRP session. I’m certain that the procedure didn’t include ACells. I was told to do 3 in total each month, but I wanted to make sure I get some sort of results before paying a lot more money. Is 3 months still too soon?
Answer: No results with PRP? Englewood Cliffs New Jersey Protocol Studies (Hausauer) have shown that monthly treatments are necessary. This can be for 3 or 4 months. If one received a single treatment, it is possible to increase the width of the hair shaft, however increased density of the scalp and regrowth will not be present. To determine whether the PRP is functional, you should notice a decrease in shedding. This can be obtained with a single injection. However, you will not see the full benefits of regrowth with one injection. A PRP expert can determine if additional modalities should be added to your regimen.

Answer: No PRP results in three months The results from platelet rich plasma (PRP) injections can take several months to notice. In my experience not much effect will be seen after only one PRP. In my office we recommend a set of six PRP treatments. They are given one every six weeks for a total of six treatments (36 weeks). Then a three month break is taken followed by a re-evaluation of the progress. This is best done by taking photographs at each session. This is the most objective way to evaluate the benefit of the PRP. With this regimen it still may take up to the fifth or sixth treatment to notice results. The primary effect that is desired is to stop the ongoing hair loss and prevent any future hair loss. In some people, especially those who are young, growth of new hair can be seen.

Answer: Prp for hair loss--add progesterone, viviscal, rogaine, propecia Prp is effective, but I have a very specific protocol, every 3-4 weeks for 6 months with prp therapy. I also add in progesterone to speed the healing process. After that the injections are tailored down. You should also be on viviscal and other growth promoting ingredients. See an expert for a formal evaluation. Best, Dr. Emer

Answer: No PRP results after 3 months? I’m 23, on finasteride. PRP of the hair takes time to show results. You need at least 3 preferably 4 treatments to see results. You need to be patient. There are differing opinions about using acell, some day it helps some say it causes an inflammatory response and that it doesn’t help. I have stopped using acell since I haven’t seen any improvement with it and a lot of improvement without it. Also keep in mind the centrifuge used to separate the platelets matters a lot. Some companies use FDA approved centrifuges made just for the purpose of separating PRP, some companies use devices that are not approved by the FDA and are modified to handle PRP separation. The use of one with the right technique will yield excellent results , the use of the latter with poor technique is like giving your money away.

Answer: No PRP results after 3 months I presume you are a male. Male pattern baldness is harder to treat than hair loss in females. A single treatment will usually not yield best results because it is best to have cumulative effects of at least 3 or 4 treatments over several months or a year. The jury is still out on the benefit of Acell. I only use it by special request because I am not convinced that the added expense to the patient is worthwhile. We recommend minoxidil and a vitamin and supplement regimen plus microneedling for best results.
