Regular Member Hank9 Posted July 1, 2014 Regular Member Share Posted July 1, 2014 I am looking into getting PRP injections done to diminish my strip scar before I get FUE to cover it up. I have heard that PRP can help to get rid of scars and am wondering how much success people have had with having it done on strip scars? Could really use some help here as I'm just in the beginning stages of my research. Thanks everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Hank9 Posted July 1, 2014 Author Regular Member Share Posted July 1, 2014 Hey guys, could use some insight here. I'm looking into having PRP injections done to minimize my strip scar. Has anyone had this done or have seen or heard any feedback on it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member GreatPelo Posted July 1, 2014 Senior Member Share Posted July 1, 2014 Hi Hank, PRP has only been proven to improve damaged tissue in athletes and such. However, there is not enough evidence to conclude that PRP helps with hair or scarring. Go to ISHRS.org and type in PRP in their search box. You'll get a great article about PRP...it's benefits and hype. I would only use PRP if the doctor is throwing it in free during a hair transplant. I would not pay $2-3k for something that is not proven and that doctors have you sign a disclaimer saying it's worked on some patients but not guaranteed to work on you. Patient beware! The two ways to reduce a strip scar is a scar revision and/or transplanting FUE grafts on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Jotronic Posted July 2, 2014 Senior Member Share Posted July 2, 2014 PRP will not reduce a scar. GreatPelo is correct in that only a revision or FUE will make any positive improvements. The Truth is in The Results Dr. Victor Hasson and Dr. Jerry Wong are members of the Coalition of Independent Hair Restoration Physicians Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
