Should I stop taking prp as my doctor says it will work but in one month my condition has worsened.
Answer: I'm taking PRP for past one month at an interval of three weeks, my hair fall has increased dramatically should I discontinue? Hi, and thank you for your question regarding PRP and hair loss. Clinical studies as well as anecdotal evidence show that PRP treatments lead to increased hair growth and thickening of hair strands. However, the results of PRP generally take up to six months to appear. Your hair loss now does not necessarily mean that the PRP treatment is not working for you. You may only know if you are one of the few patients who does not respond to PRP after six months of treatment. There is a very small chance you may have a condition known as anagen effluvium which results in the significant loss of growth-stage hair strands. Only an in-person consultation with a board-certified facial plastic surgeon can confirm the cause of your hair loss. Most likely, however, you will see results after receiving the full treatment cycle. Good luck!- Elbert T. Cheng, MD

Answer: Prp for hair loss--add progesterone, viviscal, rogaine, propecia Prp won't increase hair loss. Prp is effective, but I have a very specific protocol, every 3-4 weeks for 6 months with prp therapy. I also add in progesterone to speed the healing process. After that the injections are tailored down. You should also be on viviscal and other growth promoting ingredients. See an expert for a formal evaluation. Best, Dr. Emer

Answer: PRP , hair thinning and loss; Englewood cliffs nj In my opinion, there is a small percentage of people that develop an anagen effluvium after PRP. It's probably one to two in a thousand. It is possible that you have this hair loss but more likely that some other etiology is present. Find a hair loss expert and let them evaluate you with a good examination and history. You may need a biopsy.

Answer: PRP and hair loss PRP does not cause hair loss. If you feel that your shedding has recently increased, I recommend discussion with your hair loss specialist to determine other potential causes for the hair loss and possibly starting additional treatments. Best wishes.
