PRP after FUE transplant safe?

[hairtrainsplant2019]

Hi all

 

I had a FUE hair transplant done about 4 weeks ago and now I'm in a shedding phase, my question is is it safe to get a PRP done now, can PRP needles damage hair grafts by any chance? 

 

Many thanks for your advice in advance.

 

Thanks

Personally I would not do it now.  If the grafts are going to take then you are well past this point, assuming this is why you want to have PRP now.

The former poster Dutchie did this and it seemed to stunt his growth, or cause some shedding.

Having said all this, I'm no expert in PRP.  Suggest asking someone like Dr Cooley who knows a lot about it.

I think you should wait before you do anything. There are a lot of variables in PRP from clinic to clinic.  In any case PRP is blind, you dont know what your going to get. If you just had a HT you don't need it . In my opinion you would be wasting your money. Good luck with your HT.

I would recommend waiting until a year once you have whats considered full results.

However If I was to do PRP I would wait 5 months post surgery but only to the donor areas and NONE transplanted areas of my scalp. Since PRP helps with clearing scaring on skin and promotes hair growth. After a year then I'll consider the transplanted areas. My PRP of choice would be A-Cell. However it would be best if you consult with your hair transplant surgeon.
