Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy | Dr. Joseph Greco Ph.D. Answers Your Questions

[Dr Joseph F. Greco]

Dr. Greco,

Sure, I have heard and observed the same type of shedding from various individuals over many years from the initial use of hairloss meds and products like finasteride and minoxidil. I have also witnessed many guys immediately jump off these meds should they sustain a shed because they simply do not understand how hair behaves between the growth phases.

But "losinghope" is stating his shedding is a direct result from the PRP treatment he received, not hairloss meds/products.

Is this common or rare?

What about your own patients? How common is the shed/shockloss experience "after" a PRP treament?

While it can and has happened we generally find less shedding post treatment. As you know shedding is a normal process when starting a new therapy because hair must go into the resting phase then go into the growth phase before it can improve. Everyone is different but in our experience you see an improvement in hair character.

Dr. Greco,

Thanks for your reply. When you say, "an improvement in hair character", are you referring to an improvement or "gain" in hair shaft diameter, meaning hair caliber? Would you be so kind as to elaborate in which hair characteristics you are referring to?

hello Dr Greco,
Im Navaneeth Suresh, 22, from Bangalore, India. I have been suffering from hairloss for over 21 months now since i started consuming a nutritional supplement for my physical training. and though i discontinued the supplement immediately, the hairloss has not ceased and now PRP seems to be the only hope for me to recover my hair. Ideally i would have wanted to undergo the treatment under you, but it seems unlikely that i will be able to fly down to Florida anytime soon. could you please suggest any surgeons/clinics who you know who offer a similar PRP therapy in India?
thank you

Thank you Navaneeth. There is a Doctor who attended our conference in Milan that is doing PRP the past two years. We perviously met in Rome at a conference and spent time discussing PRP. He has had some nice results so I will email you his name. Best, JG

Dr. Greco Thank you for giving me the hope that this treatment may still work. I've lost a lot of things in my life since this started happening. I had a nice full thick head of hair and then within the past year it started to all fall out I went and got checked at the doctors and they couldn't find anything wrong with me. So I was hoping this would atleast help. I don't have much money being a struggling musician so I spent all I had saved up on prp. Id say I lost about 25% more hair since I had it done though. But like you said its the initial shed I hope. I'm praying though. I spent 18 years working towards music and nothing was as heartbreaking as when I Had a meeting with a record company and they said " We love your songs but unfortunetly sex sells and with your hairline we can't take the risk". Needless to say I have been massively depressed and about a foot away from putting a bullet in my head because of this. But hopefully this treatment helps. Performing music is all I know. I don't really have to many other skills because I focused on that so if I fail at it I have nothing else. And id rather fail on my own not because of genetics.

Generally you will not get swelling but if the hairline and temples are injected you can get down swelling like after a hair transplant which will last a few days. Just ice nothing special but less than 10% of our patients have swelling. JG
