K
kumarsNov 15, 2014

I am 26 years Male suffering from Hair loss. I checked with a leading dermatologist in Chennai and was advised I am not good for transplant. She suggested PRP will work for me. Any side effects on PRP? Please let us know with your Reviews and answers. Please find my attached pictures of scalp where have I applied oil. Please suggest the best treatment for me to restore/regrow hair. I don't want to try Minoxidil or Propecia as they have severe side effects. please help. Is it Tellogen effluvium?
