If you have high testosterone in your body is it okay to get prp for you hair?

November 1, 2016
Asked By:mryan83 in Los Angeles, CA

I have had prp done twice both within 7 months of each other. I had a lot of shedding the first couple months. By the 5 month my hair was thicker and had curl to it. The last treatment I had after about 8 months my hair went from thick to thin again? How often should I have it done and is having high testosterone bad when injecting the blood into the scalp?

How much quantity of PRP is required for hair?
Jeff Rapaport, MD says:

In my opinion, 4 to 5 times normal serum platelet concentration is the  suggested dose. The amount injected depends upon the injection technique. If the PRP is injected sub dermal it has the ability to diffuse and less is needed. Find a PRP expert. Good luckPRPHAIRMD.COM
