How can PRP prevent hair loss when it cannot stop DHT from attacking follicles?

Question

Jeff Rapaport, MD · Answer

In my opinion, this is an excellent question. PRP does not counteract DHT directly. The various growth factors in PRP work to increase the diameter of the hair, increase the growth cycle , regrow dormant hair and speed hair growth. It works to counter the effects of DHT. However, as you can see, if you use a DHT blocker such as finasteride or dutasteride the effect of PRP increases. It does not have an androgenic opposition. How this helps. Good luck.
