Is it true that there is testosterone in PRP plasma?

Question

Is it true if you use PRP for hairloss their is also testosteron in your blood? And when you inject that in your hair follicles isn't it the worst thing you can do for your hair loss?

Anteneh Roba, MD · Answer

PRP does not contain testosterone, so it is perfectly okay to inject PRP for hair loss. Even if there was testosterone in your PRP it would not affect the PRP.

Jeff Rapaport, MD · Answer

The  level of testosterone in PRP has no bearing on the treatment's effectiveness. It is the activity of the Alpha reductase enzyme which controls  the level of DHT conversion from testosterone in the scalp. PRP blocks some of the effects of DHT. Find a PRP expert. Ask to see photos.
