I’m 21 yrs old. I underwent 8 sessions of Mesotherapy and 2 sessions of PRP for scalp in the last 7 months. I’ve not noticed any trace of new hair growth . Does that mean the treatment is a failure ? Or should I opt for some other treatment ? Please suggest.

Answer: Mesotherapy and PRP for hair loss Great and frequent question. There are many variables about mesotherapy and PRP treatments for hair loss such as: automatic or semiautomatic CENTRIFUGE for PRP QUALITY preparation, activation or not activation of the platelets, LOCATION of the injection of the PRP and FREQUENCY of the injections. In my opinion those 3 factors are the most important for PRP for hair loss. Also,first of all, it is very important to find your HAIR LOSS CAUSE then to select the best treatment option (s). I will suggest a 2nd opinion in your case with hair loss specialist. Good luck.

Answer: Female hair loss Female hair loss is a difficult analysis and requires many tests, not just thyroid testing. I simply can’t write a textbook on the subject on this site, but here’s a list of past posts that may help you understand what you’ve got going on: 1. Female Genetic Hair Loss Is Different From Male Genetic Hair Loss 2. Birth Control Pills and Hair Loss 3. Woman With Thinning Hair After Family Tragedy 4. Diseases Causing Women’s Hair Loss 5. Female Hair Loss The first step in evaluating hair loss in women, after a detailed history and physical exam, is to rule out any underlying medical causes of hair loss which can be treated. If clinically appropriate, the following disease processes should be considered: anemia, thyroid disease, connective tissue disease, gynecological conditions and emotional stress. Furthermore, over 50% of women going through change of life hormone fluctuations (menopause) experience significant hair loss. It is also important to review the use of medications that may cause hair loss, such as (but not limited to) oral contraceptives, beta-blockers, Vitamin A, thyroid drugs, coumadin, and prednisone. The following laboratory tests have been recommended to rule out the aforementioned medical conditions: Some common blood tests for female hair loss: · Sex Hormone tests · SHBG (Sex Hormone Binding Globulin) used to test status of male hormones · Estradiol is a sex hormone · FSH (Follicle Stimulating Hormone) *not hair follicle but follicle in the ovary* · LH (Luteinizing Hormone) is a sex hormone · Free Testosterone · Total Testosterone · ANA (Anti Nuclear Antibody) used to test for Lupus or other autoimmune diseases · TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone) used to test for hyper or hypo-thyroid disease · Test Iron status · TIBC (Total Iron Binding Capacity) · Ferritin · Iron
