How Many Treatments are Necessary?

The number of treatments that are necessary with PRP injection therapy vary from patient to patient. Most patients have to receive the treatment multiple times before visible results are achieved. However, some patients only need to receive treatment once a year. The amount of hair regrowth that is desired will ultimately determine the number of treatments that are necessary.

Is the Procedure Painful?

While the scalp is known to be tender, the procedure of PRP injection therapy has minimal pain or discomfort associated with it. There is a needle stick in order to draw blood from a vein in order to obtain platelets from the patients, so that may cause discomfort in some patients. In the areas of scalp injection, a topical numbing medicine is applied, occasionally local anesthetic can be injected to numb the area of treatment. We often pre-treat patients with Ibuprofen (Advid or Motrin)
