I'm now diagnosed by PCOS, can PRP be a solution or at least minimize the hair loss ?

halahallolNov 4, 2015
Hello, I posted my case here earlier that I'm having thin hair I tried almost everything and i'm trying to conceive so doctors here advised to try PRP but what's new that I was diagnosed with PCOS and the gynecologist said only contraceptive can stop your hair loss but as you're trying to conceive nothing much to do for now. My question as I'm now diagnosed by PCOS can PRP be a solution or at least minimize the hair loss or it won't be useful at all for my case Thank you

See a doctor for a proper exam if you are considering PRP treatment. You need to have a diagnosis for your hair loss before seeking treatment.  You need to understand the fact that there is no definite "cure" or stopping genetic hair loss.  PRP may help but you will continue to lose hair.

I tell patients that results may take 6 months to become evident. My typical protocol is 3 sessions spaced one month apart, followed by maintenance sessions every 6 months.
