I have the above condition. Got PRP 3 sessions since 8 months ago. Have had no result, Hair loss increased in the first PRP session. Now is bit better but overall I can see more scalp. I have a laser cap at home, I use 3 times a week for 30 mins. Does not seem to help much. Will blue light every week help? Cannot use Rogaine as it irritate the scalp. Can anyone advise any other treatment to promote hair growth.

Answer: Hair loss Thanks for your question. I’m sorry to hear about your difficulty in trying to manage your hair condition. For the AGA there are options such as finasteride and oral minoxidil that can be utilized, these can be effective but can also have some side effects I would suggest you consult your hair specialist. Other options that I commonly utilize in my practice are microneedling and oral supplements such as Viviscal or Nutrafol. In regards to the PRP, there are many factors that determine whether it is going to be effective. When you look at the majority of the studies there does seem to be a certain concentration that needs to be achieved, as most studies that show no benefit you can reliably look at the concentration of the product and it is usually only 1.5 to 2 times the normal concentration. There is also variability to technique of injection that may play a role. PRP really works the best for early hair loss so if you have had your AGA for years the most likely to benefit your AGA is a hair transplant. For the folliculitis I would suggest you see a dermatologist in your area. Good luck.
