Will PRP work for me given that I quit vaping 1 month before my treatment?

April 24, 2022
Asked By:Boujee007 in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia

My hair loss is in early to moderate stage. I have been vaping nicotine for a couple years but have recently lowered my vaping intake as I want to start prp treatment in one months time. I plan to quit vaping completely starting now as I heard it will improve blood circulation to my scalp and help with my platelet count. Will the PRP be effective given that I quit vaping 1 month before my treatment?
