I am 27 with female patterned hair loss worsening the past 2 years. My Dermatologist prescribed both Finasteride and Aldactone. Hair is no better. I am healthy, normal lab, 5'7 140#. Father is bald and his mother wore a wig. My scalp is very visible. Please, I have tried prp acell, everything with no improvement.
