Platelet Rich Plasma – Industry magazine excerpts
Joseph Greco (Previously covered here) has been sending out some scans from a hair transplant industry magazine regarding Platelet Rich Plasma as used in hair transplant surgeries. It mostly extols the virtues of using PRP as a growth stimulant in hair transplants.
Joseph Greco, PhD, describes his positive experience coating grafts with PRP as well as placing the gel into recipient sites and the donor area. In a personal communication, Greco told me that he recently saw two patients in whom PRP was used in their transplant 6 months prior. “My first impression was that they looked as though they were at 9 to 10 months rather than 6 months. The transplanted hair appeared more mature, with more aesthetic density than most patients do at that time.” Of course, this is anecdotal data but from someone with as much as experience as Joe, I have to put some stock in that.
