Hair PRP FAQ
PRP effectiveness varies based on the type and stage of hair loss, with best results seen in early to moderate androgenetic alopecia, where follicles remain active. Clinical studies show 60-80% of patients experience improved hair density, thickness, and reduced hair loss with proper treatment protocols. Initial improvements may be noticeable around 2-3 months, with more significant results appearing at 4-6 months as the hair growth cycles are completed. Maximum results typically occur between 6 and 12 months, with continued improvement possible. Factors affecting success include age, extent of hair loss, overall health, and adherence to the treatment schedule. PRP works best for thinning hair rather than completely bald areas, as it requires viable follicles to stimulate. Dr. Khan evaluates your specific hair loss pattern to provide realistic expectations for your individual case.
Most patients require an initial series of 3-4 PRP treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart, followed by maintenance treatments every 6-12 months. The initial series allows for cumulative growth factor stimulation and optimal follicle response. Some patients may benefit from monthly treatments for the first 6 months if hair loss is more advanced. Maintenance frequency depends on individual response, the progression of hair loss, and personal goals. Patients with active hair loss may require more frequent maintenance, while those with stable results may be able to extend the intervals between treatments. Dr. Khan monitors your progress and adjusts treatment frequency based on your response and hair growth patterns. Consistency is key for maintaining results, as PRP effects are not permanent and require ongoing stimulation to sustain hair growth improvements.
Hair PRP treatment is associated with minimal discomfort, with most patients tolerating the procedure well. The blood draw is similar to routine lab work, and scalp injections feel like minor pinpricks. Topical numbing cream is applied before injections to minimize discomfort, and the entire procedure typically takes 45-60 minutes to complete. After treatment, you may experience mild scalp tenderness, slight swelling, or minor redness, which typically resolves within 24-48 hours. Most patients return to normal activities immediately, though strenuous exercise should be avoided for 24 hours. Hair washing can resume the following day with gentle shampoo. Some patients notice temporary increased hair shedding 2-4 weeks after treatment, which is normal as the hair growth cycle resets. No significant downtime is required, making PRP an excellent option for busy professionals and active individuals.
Yes, Hair PRP works excellently in combination with other hair restoration treatments and often enhances their effectiveness. Popular combinations include topical minoxidil (Rogaine) to complement PRP's growth stimulation, finasteride or dutasteride to address hormonal causes of hair loss, microneedling to enhance PRP penetration and absorption, and nutritional supplements to support overall hair health. PRP is also used to enhance healing and results following hair transplant surgery. Low-level laser therapy may be combined for additional follicle stimulation. The combination approach often provides superior results compared to any single treatment alone. Dr. Khan evaluates your specific hair loss pattern and medical history to recommend the optimal combination of treatments tailored to your individual needs. Timing and coordination of different therapies are carefully planned to maximize effectiveness while ensuring safety and patient comfort.
Hair PRP treatments in the Sugar Land and greater Houston area typically cost $600-$ 1,200 per session, depending on the processing method used, the treatment area size, and whether additional services are included. Single treatments generally range from $600 to $800, while packages for the initial series (3-4 treatments) cost $1,800 to $3,000, offering package savings. Factors affecting price include advanced PRP processing techniques, the combination with microneedling, the area of the scalp treated, and the clinic's level of expertise. At Empowered Plastic Surgery, our comprehensive PRP service includes detailed consultation, advanced centrifugation processing, precise injection technique, post-treatment care instructions, and progress monitoring. We offer package pricing for initial treatment series and maintenance programs for ongoing care. When considering cost-effectiveness, PRP provides natural results without ongoing medication costs and may reduce the need for more expensive surgical procedures.
Good PRP candidates for hair loss have early to moderate hair loss, active follicles, and realistic expectations about treatment outcomes. Ideal candidates include patients with androgenetic alopecia in early stages, diffuse hair thinning rather than complete baldness, good overall health with adequate platelet function, and commitment to completing the treatment series. Men with a Norwood scale of 1-4 and women with a Ludwig scale of 1-2 typically achieve the best results. PRP works most effectively when hair follicles are present but weakened rather than completely absent. Poor candidates include patients with advanced baldness with no remaining follicles, active scalp infections or autoimmune conditions, blood disorders affecting platelet function, and unrealistic expectations about regaining full hair density. Dr. Khan performs a thorough scalp examination and medical evaluation to determine if PRP will provide meaningful improvement for your specific hair loss pattern and goals.
