Apparently how PRP is done really affects the results you get, and is one reason why the price varies so much as the cheaper packages may not be of a high quality. I read that it's a good idea to ask the following questions before deciding on a provider: 1. What is the platelet concentration in your PRP solution? 2. How do you activate the platelets in the PRP? For platelet concentration, the ideal answer would specify a concentration within the range of 5 to 10 times baseline, as higher concentrations have been associated with better outcomes in some studies. And re platelet activation, the ideal answer would involve using a method such as calcium chloride or thrombin to activate the platelets effectively, ensuring they release growth factors that stimulate hair growth. Also with treatment frequency and number of sessions: ideally they should say they take a personalised approach, where the clinic evaluates the patient's response to treatment and adjusts the frequency and number of sessions accordingly. Typically, a series of treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart is recommended, followed by maintenance sessions as needed. Poor answers for these questions would include vague responses or a lack of specific details about platelet concentration, activation methods, or treatment planning. Additionally, clinics that offer a one-size-fits-all approach without considering individual patient factors may not provide the most effective treatment. I hope this helps, it's something I've been researching myself but so far the price is astronomical for the places that seem to know what they're doing.
Hey, thank you so much for sharing this with me, really helpful to know! Prices fluctuate so much I’ve found. I’ll deffo ask those questions when I choose somewhere else to get my sessions 🙏🏽✨ 💛
Hey, I’d say ferritin is more important as that tells you how well your body stores the iron longer term, whereas iron serum only shows how much iron is currently in your body. I’ve just recorded a new video about the questions I get asked and have included your question in it, so I’ve answered it in more detail on there for you 💛
Oh sorry to hear that 😞 everyone reacts differently to it but it may be a shock to your follicles perhaps. Also it could be the cycle of your hair was at the shedding stage? Hope it soon stops for you 🙏🏽

Please tell me, would you test serum iron or ferritin? Which of the two? Is there anything else we should check before giving it a try? Best of luck!

Do you take any supplements?
I take ferrous fumerate for iron and Vitamin C & D. Biotin is also a great one for hair that I need to start taking again 😊
