kevin13Jan 28, 2017
Will prp work for hairloss due to medication (clomid) It has been about 4 months since I stopped taking the meds and I'm still losing hair mainly hairline but it's getting worst. I was told the testosterone that the clomid produced converted to dht and kickstarted my hairloss. Can prp regrow my hairline or freeze the hairloss from getting worst

When you are centrifuging, the hormones will be separated out into a different level than the platelets so when you inject the PRP it contains the growth factors and not the hormones.  The hormones will be found in the rbc layer.

In my opinion, platelet rich plasma is effective in patients who suffer from polycystic ovary syndrome. I have seen decrease in hair loss, thickening of hair shafts and regrowth of hair. Find a PRP expert.PRPHAIRMD.COM
