Can microneedling with PRP cause facial hair growth in a woman?

April 19, 2018
Asked By:jpep26 in Midwest

I know PRP can be used as a treatment for hair loss on the scalp, so do I need to be worried that it will make me grow a mustache? I already have a little bit of facial hair from a slight hormonal imbalance or possibly just genetics (my family is pretty hairy) but it’s not enough to notice unless you are only a few inches away from my face.
