It is not suitable for patients with autoimmune disease, liver disease and coagulation disorders. PRP treatment can be applied in combination with dermapen and laser treatments.
It is applied routinely after hair transplantation.

The crusty appearance of the scalp disappears within a week. The transplanted hair will shed within 1 month. Since the roots are permanent, they will grow back permanently within 3 months.
