Does PRP work for hair loss and thinning due to meds? (photos)

Thank you for your question, This needs an in-person evaluation. I suggest seeing a hair loss expert now to evaluate and go over your condition and provide you information about your best treatment options. There are great non-invasive options like prp/progesterone and/or hair transplantation. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

PRP is a helpful adjunct therapy. However, in the case of medically induced hair loss, treating the underlying condition is of paramount importance. If the cause cannot be addressed, reversing loss can be challenging. As always, discuss your concerns with a board certified plastic surgeon (ABPS) with experience in hair restoration.

 Levothyroxine can cause a loss of density and thinning of individual hair shafts. It does not follow the same pattern as androgenic alopecia but can unmask a existing androgenic tendency. PRP can decrease hair shedding, increase the size of hair shafts and increase hair density. I recommend the subdermal depo injection technique. Find a PRP expert. Ask to see photos.
