most patients report minor to no discomfort during the procedure. There is no down time associated with the treatment. Normal activity can be resumed immediately, but your scalp should be protected from the sun and excessive irritation.
- How long is the procedure?
Actual treatment time varies person to person depending on the size of treatment area. It can range from one to two hours.
- What are possible complications?
Mild swelling and tenderness of the treated area are very common. Typically swelling subsides in hours. Tenderness may last a day or two. Some PRP injected areas may appear bruised. Typically bruising disappears in a week or so. Although we have not had any infections or viral reactivations, but they are still possible.
- How safe is the procedure?
MC PRP Hair Treatment is extremely safe when used to treat appropriate patients.
- Is everyone a right candidate for this procedure?
- MC PRP Hair Treatment is a safe choice for many patients with hair loss. However, patients with active
infection on the scalp, history of shingles on the scalp, diabetes, coagulation disease, or on blood thinning and/or immunosuppressive medications are not right candidates. If hair follicles
are entirely lost, the treatment will not work. Patients who have lost their hair follicles require hair transplant surgery.
- What is the cost involved?
- $600 covers a consultation and the PRP treatment.
- How many treatments do I need?
- Initially, two treatments spaced out by 3 months are recommended for rapid regrowth. For some
patients, maintenance treatment may become
- necessary every year or so.
- What is the success rate?
- Although results vary between patients, we have greater than 80% success rate based on patient
satisfaction and clinical outcome.
- How much science does this procedure have behind?
- Although PRP has sufficient theoretical scientific basis to support its use in hair restoration, hair
restoration using PRP is still at its infancy.
- Clinical evidence is still weak. However, many of our patients report excellent results. Considering its
excellent safety profile and relatively low cost,
- MC PRP hair treatment is a promising treatment option for patients with thinning hair.
