Question 1

is there any side effect of prp precedure for hair loss

Accepted Answer

None that I know of: Prp for hairloss is not a truly proven modality for hair-regrowth, but we have used it in our office for post-face lfit patients who have some early "shock" of their hair follicles (isolated areas) with very good results.
I am not aware of any side effects of prp for hairloss, except perhaps some early swelling/inflammation at the injection sites which resolve quickly.

Question 2

could the use of prp ,for hair loss and for many years,provoke long term effects on nervous system?

Accepted Answer

PRP: PRP therapy uses your own platelet rich plasma for local application to your scalp. I could find no report of neurological complications with this therapy.   There is nothing in this preparation that should be neurotoxic
