The Good and The Bad of PRP Injections for Hair Loss

[@ThePlasticLife]

What has been your experience been with PRP injections for hair growth?

[@RuralMallu]

After 2 week after the first session, all the hair on my head fell out due to shock loss 😢. But to prevent it, I have come up with a solution for the victims of the PRP scam that you are using to do hair transplant surgery on ordinary people.😢 ❤ The remedy is to increase natural immunity immediately 😂

[@Robd07]

I just had my first session out here in Colombia. It was only about $75.00! It did hurt a bit since im not into needles..but was tolerable. I was injected with my own plasma and then afterwards they went over a 2nd time with a derma penn so that the plasma goes into every nook and cranny area of recession. I was told to come back in another month. I plan to atleast do 3 to see if my hair does get fuller.

I just completed 6 sessions of PRP and it made a hell of a difference! Almost brought my original hair back!

[@AltraTara]

I had three sessions so far, I am loving the results. The nurse told me though, to avoid consuming vitamin C and to drink lots of water before the procedure. And actually it hurt like a 🤬 on my second procedure where I had a glass of lemon water first thing in the morning right before the PRP

[@arthavagrawal8124]

Were you asked to not consume vitamin c just during the time of prp treatment or in general throughout the treatment?

[@therapybiz]

Did you know that lemons are high in vitamin c?

[@vanesslifeygo]

wait why? I consumed Vitamin C in the morning and never do at night. Have I wasted my time?

[@masteronionnorth2341]

I don't know if PRP actually regrows hair but it did cure the severe tendonitis in my leg years ago. Symptoms completely disappeared within a month of the injection. Haven't had a problem since.

[@acobbs9]

Same here, getting knee injections last year was one of the best decisions I’ve made

[@doublehsword6508]

Might start this treatment, before trying Minoxidle and Finasteride.

[@_qw3rtyXxYz_]

I had prp done to my scalp today with no numbing cream and honestly it was so much more painful than I expected. It sucks that you also need so many injections. I dont think I can handle another treatment, might just have to stick to minoxidil and dermarolling at home

[@ThePlasticLife]

Sorry to hear you had a bad experience with your treatment. I’d recommend talking with your injector about how they can make the procedure easier. Maybe with numbing the scalp, massage wands to vibrate the area, or even icing the area before injecting.

[@alanfalahmed5829]

Is its result permanent? I underwent it twice, but when I stopped, the baldness returned again. Is its effect permanent or does it stop as soon as I stop for sessions?

[@brightside11111111]

PRP caused shock loss for me. Unfortunately 1 month after Prp and my hair is shedding like crazy.

[@ivanlalala100]

what a great explanation

[@ThePlasticLife]

Glad you found it helpful! Thank you!

[@ivanlalala100]

​@@ThePlasticLife completely helpful, I have a consultation incoming cause I have fine hair and sometimes i feel it might end up falling, but my hair has stayed like this for 10 years. I am 36 now. Thanks to your video I have a realistic idea of what to expect. I think if it works decently well, my hair will look like a 15 year old in my case, if it kind of works, at least I will be so happy to keep my hair as it is as many years as I can. I have no visible alopecia, and therefore I don't consider transplant, and I don't want to take medication since any sexual side effects would ruin my life, and therefore I do not care how ridiculously small the possibility is. I rather shaving if at some point if I ever have to, than taking medication, to put it some way. Or do several transplants if I have good donor area, than taking medication. The doctor explained me that he usually treats PRP together with oral medication and mesotherapy, which also includes more injectable medication in the scalp, but I let him know already that I totally reject those options, and I was looking to give a try to PRP only, and see how it works. He has not seen me already so I will listen to his advice but probably will only try PRP if he allows me, or other doctor from another clinic. On my own I am doing dermapen (0.5mm 1-2 times a month) and caffeine+saw palmetto shampoos and seems to work wonders cause I have direct relatives who lost most hair before their 30s, or even 28. The decision of looking to do something else more than nothing at all, comes precisely because of my family background. So once again, very explanatory video. you gained a subscriber.

[@srobinson2855]

I'm anemic and the treatments are expensive, plus the results aren't permanent. No one has a cure, just have to eat healthy.

[@arishshah9191]

I went through 5 sessions at the interval of every 3 weeks. My hair shed increased drastically after each session and i had my last session in September. Im still waiting for a dramatic return because this is traumatising. Im in so much worse condition right now than i was when i had the first session, which is painful after btw.

[@astrum133]

What do you think about injectable PRF? Do you consider it equally effective? Thank you

[@huss03]

I've had 3 sessions of PRF in the last 6 months, and my hairloss has accelerated noticeably in this time and I look the worst I've ever been. What's going on?

[@mantis_toboggan_md]

How's it looking now? I assume that you may be going through an accelerated hair loss cycle as you will lose hair before it regrows.

[@brightside11111111]

This happened to me too. I had 1 session and it triggered Telegen Effluvium for me with itching and burning on and off. My scalp looks fine but it is irritated and my hair has been falling out 300+ hairs a day for 2 months. Praying it stops soon

[@huss03]

@@mantis_toboggan_md I wondered about that too, but was expecting that "loss-phase" to resolve and then move into the recovery...but it didn't seem to kick in. I'm now on topical Minox and Fin, but not seeing much recovery yet.

Can i get this if i have no problem with baldness or hair falling out? But wanting it for hair to grow fuller and longer faster?

[@ThePlasticLife]

You could but there are less expensive ways to achieve that and also less painful. Things like vitamin supplements, Biotin, and other non-invasive treatments.

What size needles for roller do you recommend? Thanks!!

[@ThePlasticLife]

[@MustafaIbrahim1]

Why am I losing more hair after PRP and miso ?

[@ThePlasticLife]

Thats a great question that can have a number of answers. It all depends on how soon after the treatments that the hair falls out. Remember, there is no cure for hair loss so even though you are doing these treatments your hair will continue to fall out, hopefully just at a much slower rate.

[@DailySippings]

​@@ThePlasticLifeis there a recommended diet that can boost the quality of the blood to improve the efficacy of the prp?

[@kinndah2519]

Go to an endocrinologist and get your hormones tested. Also make sure you're taking organic bioavailable vitamins and wild caught organic omegas. Also take stomach acid resistant probiotics for gut issues. That's what helped me reduce hair loss. Also using Nizoral shampoo.

[@cjg8604]

is the results permanent when the hair grows back? What if we get back the hair and stop doing prp??

[@staylovedeathcore6442]

From what I’ve read, you should do maintaining sessions every 3-6 months to keep your results. And the most common prp protocol is: First 3 sessions should be done every 4 weeks, then maintaining sessions. Gonna try prp by myself in november btw!

[@Successfulfiger]

So I did 2 and nothing happened actually 5 months later and I’m losing more .. why ?!

[@ThePlasticLife]

Thats one of the downsides of PRP, unfortunately it may not give great results for everyone. Everyone has different blood qualities and levels of growth factors. So while one person may get great results with it, others may not. If your hair is still falling out the best option is finasteride and oral minoxidil. And you don’t have to take them 7 days a week to get great results. The main definition of success with these meds is that they stop your hair loss, not necessarily get back all your hair.

[@Ian-lq1pn]

After the initial treatment, can I continue it like every month for a year or so?

[@ThePlasticLife]

You certainly could do an injection treatment every month. But I would imagine that would get very expensive.

[@DBZFan2]

So does PRP regrow lost hair from your original hairline or no?

[@ThePlasticLife]

No, PRP does not regrow hair that has been totally lost. It works more to save the hairs that are on the way out and either stabilize the loss process or in some cases cause the hair shaft to thicken again.

Does one PRP session have a beneficial effect after hair transplant?

[@ThePlasticLife]

For me it depends how soon after the transplant. We typically do one PRP injection the day of the transplant and then one about a week later. After that, say 3-4 months later, i’m not sure a single session has a huge benefit.

I had 3 sessions of PRP one month apart each. My hair is worse than before, not only shedding but also the texture has changed. I’m in Massachusetts and paid $2100 for 3 sessions and it was the most reasonable price I could find. I’m wondering if it was not applied properly or if my scalp suffered a shock with the injections.

[@ChanceBailey-d3k]

[@unbeatableni-ba5143]

Hey doc. I just wanted to ask that my hairfall got WORSE after 2nd session and I noticed extreme shedding which I'm 100% sure wasn't my natural MPB. The hairs that started shedding also look extremely healthy and dark hairs, unlike weak hairs I used to shed before PRP. So my question is, is it temporary hairloss which is stimulated by growth cells on scalp(as google told me) or just permanent? Thanks in advance!

Hey dw, it is temporary, sometimes the shedding period lasts longer but within 5-6 months you will see the good!

It can be. Especially if you've recently eaten a fatty meal. After a while the body deals with all of that fat and then it's less. Thats why its important to eat healthy the week before your PRP sessions.

[@ThePlasticLife]

Finasteride won't bring back dead hair follicles either. That medication is more meant to slow down the rate of loss and can help some of the follicles to rebound. That rebound means they become thicker and then you have the appearance of better density with your hair.
