How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

Hello all,
I am a 36 year old female experiencing hair loss. I got the recommended 3 PRP injections over the course of 3 months (total of $2400). I hadn't been noticing any difference by the second injection, so just before my third injection I made an appointment with a dermatologist. I wish I had gone to her sooner! She sent a scalp biopsy to the lab, and it turned out that I have a rare type of hair loss, called scarring alopecia (specifically lichen planopilaris). This means that the PRP injections are basically worthless, and possibly made things worse (although this is just a guess, PRP injections cause swelling which is good in some cases, but from what I've read, lichen planopilaris basically causes hair loss from an over-inflammation of tissue, so I think the PRP injections actually had a negative effect in my case.) I would suggest to any of you considering getting PRP injections to make sure you know what type of hair loss you have before you go in.
