Prp before HT - Thoughts


Recommended Posts

  • Regular Member

Hi again all, 

I hope you're all doing well, Ive got my appointment coming up on the 19th for my HT and I was just wondering about prp before the surgery. I heard its recommended as it prepares all areas for the trauma about to happen. Is there any info from you guys on this, and should I go on monday for the PRP, or should i just do the three sessions after? 

thanks in advance

I don’t think PRP will make a difference. Not worth the money.

Some clnics/Dr's bundle In PRP at no extra cost. But let's face it elite Dr's are not using it and there is a reason for that. At best and done properly it "May" help somewhat in the early stages, but it's not exactly needed. You will heal anyway, and it's certainly not worth spending extra £$€ on.

There are no clinical trials or proven studies that support any meaningful benefit from PRP treatments pre-op and IMHO, it’s a waste of money…generally speaking, I am not a proponent of using PRP in conjunction with hair transplant procedures.
