Repeat PRP Hair Loss Injections can Cause Hair Shedding Similar to Shock Loss in Hair Transplants

A gentleman had three separate sessions of PRP injections for hair loss over the course of three months. He shed hair since the first treatment, and said it go worse going into the third month where fifty to one hundred hairs were lost daily, and he could see the white part of the hair follicle. He wants to know what’s happening to him.

Dr. Amiya Prasad is a Board-certified cosmetic surgeon who has performed hair transplants for over twenty years. He is also the founder of TrichoStem Hair Regeneration Centers which is based on a technology and method he developed called Hair Regeneration using acellular matrix, or extracellular matrix combined with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) for the non-surgical treatment of hair loss.

Based on the photos this man submitted, the most likely reason Dr. Prasad sees is that he has an aggressive pattern of genetic hair loss, manifested by rapid shedding of hairs. Dr. Prasad emphasizes that PRP alone won’t stop hair loss. PRP, or platelet-rich plasma, derived from your own blood has been shown to help grow hair that may be dormant in the telogen phase of hair growth, and may stimulate growth, but that’s different from stopping pattern hair loss.

Dr. Prasad is very active in using PRP. He uses PRP on patients for the face, skin, scars, and as part of his treatment called Hair Regeneration. The distinction is straightforward the Hair Regeneration treatment is not performed on a patient every month, rather it’s a single injection treatment, then the patient is observed by him for eighteen months. For 99% of his male patients, he is able to stop hair loss, thicken thinning hair, and in some patients even improve on the first results by doing another injection. For his female patients, more than 80% respond to the treatment where hair loss is stopped, and thinning hair is thickened.

Shedding can be a part of the hair regrowth cycle. Thin hair has to shed before a thicker hair comes in, but this only applies to the Hair Regeneration treatment. Patients who come from around the world to see Dr. Prasad for this treatment, which is one of the reasons he started a company to help bring this technology closer to people.

Getting PRP treatment done frequently can cause something called shock. Shock is from scalp trauma and inflammation from the injection. Shock loss is often seen in hair transplants - a few months after the transplant, you can get what is called shock loss caused by the surgical trauma. The hairs that were grafted can shed, and the adjacent hairs that were not grafted can also shed. A person can look like they have less hair than from before the transplant. Similar trauma from the injections can cause shock loss.

It can be really tiresome to get scalp injections every month with PRP treatment alone. This leads a lot of people to stop PRP treatment, and then they learn more about alternatives like Hair Regeneration which is most often only performed once, and lasts at least 3-5 years. Currently, Dr. Prasad’s Hair Regeneration patients from 3-5 years ago are still not experiencing any regression where there has started to thin again, so time will tell how long the Hair Regeneration treatment lasts.

Swear getting prp had accelerated my hair loss in a short period of time. Got 3 injections one month apart, with the 4th being 2 months out. This was about 6 months ago and my before picture seems like I was in a better state. I'm 30 years old and was keeping things at bay with Rogaine

Used Eclipse PRP system with just my plasma (nothing fancy added)

After my fourth prp session, i got alopecia areata in a few spits that have gotten worse. The dermatologist is saying that it is likely not caused by it but i have the bald spots where i got a lot of shots. I think they dont want to admit fault.

Hey doc, i am 19 y old female ….. so i had hairfall problem for along time ( maybe because of my poor diet and lifestyle) ..however last year i decided to change my lifestyle i started going to the gym, eating healthy ( still not that great ) and decided to care for my hair and had seen a dermatologist…. He said that i have telogen effluvium ( might be right as i am constantly under alot of stress and now trying to manage it ) ….. he prescribed me topical minoxidil, hair serum, keraglo vit, vit d3 …. For 3 months …. But after 2 months i had itching in my scalp due to the minoxidil, so i stooped it … and after that i had a lot of hairfall …. Then again on june 2024 i saw the dr. Because my hairfall became so severe that it created a bald patch in my temple ( he said it was a autoimmune condition )And this tym he prescribed me another 5 %topical minoxidil, oral minoxidil 2.5 mg, keraglo eva vitamin and the hair serum ….. i am using the topical min for the past 2 months, and oral for the past 1 month, the serum from the past 1 year …. And still my hairs are falling alot …. He is also suggesting me to do prp … i am really confused !!….. ….

Please suggest me something

Hi doctor, I am 30 years old female. I am a dentist by profession. I am having super extensive hair from last 6 months. I have lost 80% of my hair. I have had one session of PRP 6 days ago and the hair I have started loosing is the double of amount i was shedding before. I am really at the verge of mental breakdown. It is so much devastating to lose hair for a girl. I am moving to united states permanently within few months. I want to take treatment from you.Please recommend should I continue with another session meanwhile or not.

Hi. I would be grateful for your advice. I had two PRP sessions, and now I am experiencing extreme hair loss. I wanted PRP to get thicker hair, as I didn’t experience any hair loss prior to the treatment. I am now unsure whether to get 3PRP, or skip it and have a bit of break before the hair loss stops. I’m 38, female

I had hair transplant.Everything was good, was happy... thought to make prp for strengthen hair.Big mistake for me to do that -
In the 7th month did the prp treatment and after 1 week my hair started to fall more.
Waited to come more hair from transplant, till 1 year, but no.

Does prp help more for female ? Because hair transplant in female is not possible?

I take Finasteride and use minox, had 3 PRF double spun treatments and Ive lost close half of my hair.
Last treatment was last week.

So I’m well aware that PRP/PRF is not the ultimate solution but this is BS

If this does not turn around soon I’ll be pissed….
