Would PRP help a breast cancer patient that had texotere for chemotherapy? Hair grew back very thin in most areas.

Question

Jeff Rapaport, MD · Answer

In my opinion, PRP can help post chemotherapy hair loss and thinning.  The  important factor is whether you are on a  estrogen blocker after the chemotherapy has ended. In my experience, this  blocker, interferes with the hair regrowth.  It has been our experience that tamoxifen is the best  of this class of drugs to allow hair to regrow. With tamoxifen we've been able to observe  hair get thicker and more dense. PRPHAIRMD.COM

Yes, prp in combination with progesterone can help hair regrowth. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a hair loss expert. Best, Dr. Emer
