I have lost my hair from the crown. Have undergone 3 PRP sessions since Jan 2018 but no noticeable change. Have been on minoxidil for past 3 years, but stopped minoxidil after starting PRP. Now I can see thinning on the front also. Should I ho for hair transplant?
Answer: PRP It takes 6-9 months to determine if PRP will help. In your case, if minoxidil is stopped you will likely lose hair simply from stopping minoxidil and this will amen even more difficult to determine if PRP is working or not. You may wish to discuss your situation with a hair loss expert. Going for a hair transplant right now when you are actively losing hair wouldn't be the best idea. You need to get back on a plan to stabilize loss.

Answer: PRP and hair loss Treatment for androgenic alopecia is very limited. Topical minoxidil (side effects headache and increase in body hair elsewhere), oral finasteride (loss of libido and contraindicated in pregnancy) alone or in combination and PRP. Mesotherapy with PRP is safe and effective treatment of androgenic alopecia, but needs to be repeated 4-6 times (2 weeks apart). In 80% of patients it is effective, but the long term studies are limited.
