Can PRP make my hairs that are still in growth phase thinner?

September 20, 2018
Asked By:27SEPTEMBER in France, FR

I had 2 PRP treatments. I don't really have hair loss only a bit thinning in the temples I was not shedding al lot before and after PRP, but the hair structure looks like it changed and the existing hairs are lot thinner straight after the PRP treatments. What is happening? I am asian and my hairs are normally straight en thick but its seems like the PRP is doing something else than making them thicker? Can this be caused by DHT or testosterone in the PRP? Can somebody explain what is happening?

Jason Emer, MD says:

Prp is effective, but I have a very specific protocol, every 3-4 weeks for 6 months with prp therapy. I also add in progesterone to speed the healing process.  After that the injections are tailored down. You should also be on viviscal and other growth promoting ingredients. See an expert for...
