PRP After Hair Transplant: Evidence, Protocols, and Who Benefits

admin

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) may improve healing and support native hair, but evidence is mixed for significantly higher graft survival in all patients.

What Studies Suggest

Some randomized studies show faster early growth and density gains.
Heterogeneous protocols and small samples limit firm conclusions.

Typical Protocols

1 intra-op PRP + 2–3 post-op sessions (monthly).
Leukocyte-poor PRP, standardized spin, calcium activation (clinic dependent).

Bottom line: Consider PRP as an adjunct if budget allows. Prioritize surgeon skill and aftercare first.

I tried PRP after my hair transplant and I did see some improvement in my hair growth. I had about 3 sessions done, each costing around $500-$800, and I started to notice results after a few months. However, I will say that the results were not as drastic as I had hoped for, and the maintenance costs can add up over time. Overall, I think PRP can be a good option for some people, especially if you're looking for a non-invasive way to potentially improve your hair growth. Just make sure to have realistic expectations and be prepared for ongoing costs if you decide to continue with the treatments.

I had PRP treatment after my hair transplant and I have to say, it really made a difference for me. I noticed quicker healing and better hair growth in the months following the procedure. The cost for PRP can vary depending on where you go, but for me, it was around $500 per session and I needed about 3 sessions spaced out over a few months. One thing to keep in mind is that PRP isn't a guaranteed solution for everyone. Some people may not see as dramatic results or may not notice any difference at all. It's important to discuss the potential benefits and risks with your doctor before deciding if it's right for you.
