Hypertrophic scarring. Does that mean no PRP+acell for hair loss? If I can, where is the nearest/best dr. that could help me?

May 26, 2016
Asked By:Mellifluos72 in Arkansas, AR

I have hypertrophic scarring (not keloids) tendencies. Does this mean I am not a candidate for PRP therapy for hair loss? Would a good doctor tell me I am not before trying the therapy? I am interested in this therapy to stop my shedding and try and regrow my thinning temples, hairline, and sides. I am a female in early 40s with FPHL. No dr that I know of in or near me that does PRP with it without Acell. How do I go about finding one? I live outside Little Rock, Arkansas.
