Will PRP help hair thinning on 18 year old male?

philip511
I have genetic hair loss since i and very physically healthy and my father is bald. I have been experiencing slow thinning on the mid-back part of my head and my crown for 2-3 years. It is slightly noticable. I refuse to use rogain and finasteride due to the side effects, i feel its not worth the risk. Im not eligible for a hair transplant since im so young. I have heard very good reviews on PRP especially for early hair thinning. Should I do it?
