Will testosterone replacement therapy affect the results of PRP for the face and scalp?

Question

I’m currently undergoing testosterone replacement therapy at 125mg a week, along with hcg at 250iu 2x a week. Will it affect my results in PRP treatments for the face and scalp?

In my opinion, the answer to this question is not a simple one. The ability of PRP to increase the diameter ( up to 30%) of the hair follicles should not change when one is on testosterone therapy. The regrowth of follicular units will be affected and will be inhibited. Find a PRP expert. Ask to see photos.PRP hair MD.com

Testosterone  replacement therapy nor BHCG treatment will affect the results of PRP for the face and scalp.

Testosterone replacement certainly has the potential to affect PRP and hair loss progression in general.
