A member asked:

Is there any side effect of prp precedure for hair loss

6 doctors weighed in across 3 answers

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.

PRP Hair Side Effect: Immediately after PRP plus BioD ECM injection and micropen microneedling, you will see some redness in the area for a few hours. If adequate local anesthesia of the scalp was performed, you should have NO discomfort other than numbness in the area. There is no bruising or other downtime with PRP of the scalp. You can resume activities, shampoo and topical medications (if prescribed) that day.
