Can I Have Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy Instead of Hair Transplant Surgery?
Q: It was recommended by the doctor that I have a hair transplant. Could I do platelet rich plasma (PRP) instead?
A: PRP will generally be inadequate for patients who are candidates for a hair transplant. PRP works to reverse (thinning hair) as do other medical treatments (Propecia, Rogaine, LLLT). Unfortunately, medical treatments do not grow hair back once it has been lost.
