Thank you for your question, This needs an in-person evaluation. I suggest seeing a hair loss expert now to evaluate and go over your condition and provide you information about your best treatment options. There are great non-invasive options like prp/progesterone and/or hair transplantation. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

PRP treatment work very good when applied 3-4 times in a year. You will see the benefits. It will decrease the shedding and help the hair growth.

Jeff Rapaport, MD · Answer

In my opinion, you should visit a hair loss expert to determine your diagnosis. They will perform a history, examination including microscopic exam and possibly blood work and biopsy. One must determine if you have a diffuse unpatterned alopecia or some other type of hair loss. PRP can increase the density of the hair shafts and provide regrowth in some cases. Hair that has been lost less than 3 years has a better chance of regrowth. Your hair expert must determine if your hairline is part of the alopecia or hairline that is maturing. Jeff Rapaport MD FAADRealself All-star

Thank you for your question, PRP is ideal for hair loss.PRP treatments are great for stimulating growth of miniaturized "dormant" follicles, which ultimately thickens the hair appearance. These benefits include longer-lasting aesthetic improvement as well as a more sustained release of beneficial growth factors in the treatment area. I recommend having an in-person consultation with a board-certified dermatologist to go over your options.

Thank you for your question, PRP is ideal for hair loss. I suggest trying Selphyl, it is the newest form of PRP and offers several benefits over traditional PRP. These benefits include longer-lasting aesthetic improvement as well as a more sustained release of beneficial growth factors in the treatment area. I recommend having an in-person consultation with a board-certified dermatologist to go over your options.

I would suggest seeing a Hair Restoration expert for your hair loss. Platelet Rich Plasma treatments are great for stimulating growth of miniaturized "dormant" follicles, which ultimately thickens the hair appearance. You may be a good candidate for PRP, but it's important to seek in-person consultation for review of your hair loss history and have a Trichoscopy examination of your follicles. From there, you physician may request possible lab work to determine your pattern of hair loss. Best, Dr. Sameea Chughtai

PRP has been shown in numerous medical studies to both increase hair density and also the number of hair follicles in the treated area. I would recommend that you plan to do 3 sessions, each spaced about a month apart. then you should plan on doing further treatments 6-12 months later. We also recommend a special vitamin supplement, in  addition to the PRP. see a board certified plastic surgeon, with a special interest in PRP.david berman md
