Regular Member harlot Posted February 27, 2017 Regular Member Share Posted February 27, 2017 Hey, I'm about 9 months post op, would scalp injections i.e. PRP, corticosteroid or thymosin beta 4 harm the grafts, even though they've long since been secure?

Senior Member gillenator Posted February 28, 2017 Senior Member Share Posted February 28, 2017 Other than PRP, why are you considering having these other injections?

Senior Member Speegs Posted February 28, 2017 Senior Member Share Posted February 28, 2017 Echoing Gill, what is your rationale for these additional shots? Have you been advised to try this?

Dr. Glenn Charles Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 PRP would be the only type of injection I would consider at least until you have your full results. 12-15 months.

Regular Member harlot Posted March 2, 2017 Author Regular Member Share Posted March 2, 2017 I've been considering TB-500 because I got great results from it before I ventured into a hair transplant, and I think it'd help with maintenance and even bolster the results nicely I'd appreciate an answer to my question though: Would scalp injections of something other than PRP harm the grafts 9 months op? Dr. Charles: Do you mean to say that although you don't necessarily advise it, 12 - 15 months post OP there's no risk of harming the grafts with something other than PRP injections?
