Hi, I'm a female, 18 years of age, with a full healthy head of thick hair unaffected by thinning or hair loss. I'm having trouble finding literature on PRP used for the sole purpose of increasing the rate of hair growth on individuals unaffected by androgenetic hair loss. Its ability to maintain the prolonging of the anagen growth stage? feasibility of long term application of this treatment in regards to continuous delaying of the catagen stage? Any suggestions are Greatly appreciated ❤️❤️
