Can PRP make your hair worse? I am a 25 female with androgenetic alopecia.

 I started prp 3 months ago and have had two sessions so far will have my third soon. My shedding has decreased I went from shedding 200 hairs a day to 64 hairs a day. Im so happy the shedding has stopped. However my hair looks thinner and my crown looks worse than when I started PRP my back hair is also falling off. My hair looks completely flat. Can I ever regrow hair?
