hairgrower Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 Hi I had my HT done on Jan 29 2018...my scalp completely healed and the shedding phase almost seems to have ended. I did PRP using 1-2mm intradermal meso gun after 7 weeks of my HT. The nurse injected plasma and of course there was some blood. My question is could this have damaged my transplanted hair follicles? I have no pain redness or anything over my scalp but in some places little bumps where needle was injected. I am really concerned and now thinking if I should have really gone through PRP.

Regular Member RajivKumar19 Posted April 10, 2018 Regular Member Share Posted April 10, 2018 PRP does NOT damage existing hair follicles - it does the exact opposite by stimulating them. PRP has been shown to decrease shedding and increase hair shaft. Be sure to consult with a hair expert. Best of luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill - Seemiller Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 Transplanted hair is the same as natural hair. Therefore, if your hair from hair transplant has grown in and you are also undergoing platelet rich plasma treatment, your hair transplant will be safe. You may even experience some additional marginal benefit from the PRP because of the decreased shedding and stimulation to surrounding natural hair follicles. Sure to speak with your PRP physician to discuss this further so you understand how it works. Best wishes, Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
