Your diagnosis comes first.
The cause of your hair loss, its pattern, prior treatment, and your medical history help guide the conversation. PRP is not automatically the right option for everyone.
Bring your current medication and supplement list, previous hair-loss treatments, and any questions about the proposed procedure.
02 / MAKE AN INFORMED DECISION
Understand exactly what is offered.
Ask the clinician to explain the treatment, preparation, risks, possible benefits, limitations, and alternatives. Get clear on what is being administered and why it is being recommended.
Different injection treatments should not be treated as equivalent. This page covers a PRP consultation; any other proposed treatment needs its own explanation and consent.
03 / PLAN THE NEXT STEP
Agree on a follow-up plan.
Discuss the proposed visit schedule, how response will be assessed, and the total expected cost. Ask what would prompt a change in approach.
Results vary. Your care plan should include reassessment rather than an assumption that every patient will respond the same way.
COMMON QUESTIONS
Before you decide.
Can I choose PRP without an evaluation?
Start with a consultation so the recommendation can account for your hair-loss diagnosis and medical history.
Is PRP the same as Alma TED?
No. They are different approaches. Ask about their individual evidence, risks, limitations, and costs.
Is it covered by insurance?
Ask about fees for the specific evaluation and treatment. Do not assume that coverage for a medical visit includes a hair procedure.
