February 11, 2017
Asked By:MatthewDavid in New Haven, Connecticut

Ok so i got some prp injected in my scalp late August. I First noticed some shedding for a few weeks then t stopped. Recently it picked up again but it seems to be shedding more than usual and it's sort of concerning. Would please like some closure to give me a little hope that this will work otherwise im looking into a hair transplant.

Answer: PRP can result in some initial shedding, as it functions to convert some resting hairs into the Anagan phase.
