The Good and The Bad of PRP Injections for Hair Loss

Platelet Rich Plasma otherwise known as PRP is a great treatment to help slow down hair loss and possibly restart some return of hair growth in various conditions. Dr. Pearce discusses the benefits as well as the downsides of PRP injections for hair loss.

Platelet Rich Plasma has the potential to be a great treatment for your hair loss using your own blood but what a lot of people don't know is that there is a lot of variability in what you can achieve in PRP therapy because of the variability in platelets from person to person and from system to system that is used to prepare the PRP.

Dr. Paul Pearce is a board certified plastic surgeon in Austin, Texas.

What has been your experience been with PRP injections for hair growth?

I just completed 6 sessions of PRP and it made a hell of a difference! Almost brought my original hair back!

One of the best videos I’ve seen on the topic of PRP. Less than 10 min, hit all the key points, and set the right expectations on who it’s right for how effective it is.

I had three sessions so far, I am loving the results. The nurse told me though, to avoid consuming vitamin C and to drink lots of water before the procedure. And actually it hurt like a 🤬 on my second procedure where I had a glass of lemon water first thing in the morning right before the PRP

I don't know if PRP actually regrows hair but it did cure the severe tendonitis in my leg years ago. Symptoms completely disappeared within a month of the injection.

Haven't had a problem since.

I had prp done to my scalp today with no numbing cream and honestly it was so much more painful than I expected. It sucks that you also need so many injections. I dont think I can handle another treatment, might just have to stick to minoxidil and dermarolling at home

PRP caused shock loss for me. Unfortunately 1 month after Prp and my hair is shedding like crazy.

Love the honesty of your content!! Really good stuff!

What do you think about injectable PRF? Do you consider it equally effective? Thank you

[bentleygt]

i did a PRP treatment. it does NOT work.
lost my money and more hair. people please don't do it. it's a scam.

I tried PRP along with a laser treatment. Did nothing, cost over $3000

[RossAlexFlips]

I was just quoted $1000 per session for this with a minimum recommended 3 sessions. Is this a fair price? Thanks

[Shattered..]

Dr after 3rd session of prp my hair are shedding alot alot alot.
Is is normal?
And how much time they are going to shed??

[srobinson]

I'm anemic and the treatments are expensive, plus the results aren't permanent. No one has a cure, just have to eat healthy.

[HienPham-fytw]

Had my done over 2 yrs ago, I didn’t benefit from it n also see no result or improvement.

[mfimabefig]

So I did 2 and nothing happened actually 5 months later and I’m losing more .. why ?!

[Triple_eightss]

Can i get this if i have no problem with baldness or hair falling out? But wanting it for hair to grow fuller and longer faster?

[mrbenson]

What size needles for roller do you recommend? Thanks!!

[ardalannamvar]

Does one PRP session have a beneficial effect after hair transplant?

[pedro_ferreirinha]

Good morning. I didn't understand which needle you use. Do you use a 32g cannula?
