A hair transplant procedure is a solution for many types of hair loss where bald spots are filled using harvested hair follicles or scalp skin from the back of your head. While offering permanent results, this treatment option still doesn’t address the root cause of your hair loss, so you might experience hair loss in areas that didn’t receive treatment. Because of this, we do recommend additional supplements or procedures, like PRP or PRF. These injections will enhance the results of your surgery as it speeds up healing, increases the viability of the hair follicles, and stimulates hair growth.
How Long After Hair Transplant Can I Receive PRP Treatment for Hair Growth?
Hair transplant surgery does not offer instant results because the transplanted hairs need to settle in your scalp first to grow new hair. Because of this, platelet-rich plasma therapy for hair loss will be helpful for both your existing hair follicles and the donor follicles in your scalp.
The time you start your PRP treatments after hair transplant surgery will also be crucial for your results. You might find various medical opinions about this topic because it mostly depends on the patient, the doctor, and how well your transplanted hairs have adapted to your scalp.
Some practices recommend starting the injections as early as 10 days after the hair restoration surgery, while some suggest waiting for as long as 3 to 4 months post-treatment. Ask your surgeon what he recommends is the best timing for you after your transplant.
How PRP Injections Enhance Your Hair Transplant
PRP or PRF are both effective hair loss treatments on its own as it provides your hair follicles with a boost of nutrients that boost its healing process. It reactivates hair regrowth because of the growth factors on hair follicle stem cells that provide stimulation. It also opens up the blood vessels around the hair follicles, so there is a better blood supply.
If combined with your hair transplantation surgery, these platelet-derived growth factors will maintain and enhance the viability of hair follicles, speed up healing time, and stimulate maximum hair growth.
Receiving injections of platelet growth factors increases hair growth after hair transplantation as it maintains the viability of your donor follicles, even enhancing its effects. PRP treatment may even reactivate your dormant hair follicles.
