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?
Answer: PRP effective? Englewood Cliffs New Jersey In my opinion you need to be patient. The Fact that your hair loss has decreased means that the PRP is working. The next step will be that your hair will start growing faster and the diameter of the existing hair will thicken. If you are to get regrowth it may take several more months. If you are followed by a hair loss expert, They should be taking photographs to document your progress. Compare the photos to the initial visit. Find a PRP expert. Ask to see photos.

Answer: Hair thinning... I appreciate your concern.Overall, I think the process is working, but your hair thinning is likely due to male pattern baldness. Bes ure you're supplementing your hair with vitamins and iron. You can also see a specialist to see if an androgen blocker will help. You can also consider minoxidil foam twice daily.Best wishes.

Answer: Can PRP make your hair worse? I am a 25 female with androgenetic alopecia. The research performed and the anecdotal evidence would suggest that thickness of hair and density can improve with PRP injections. The number of sessions as well as the quality of PRP obtained will vary considerably physician to physician.

Answer: Good things take time! I am happy to hear your shedding has stopped! Androgenic alopecia can be caused by a variety of factors tied to the actions of hormones, including ovarian cysts, taking high androgen index birth control pills, pregnancy, and menopause. My recommendation would be to go to a medical professional who can help determine what may be triggering the recent increase in thinning of your hair. The best results from treatment happen when you begin treatment as soon as possible after the hair loss begins because prolonged androgenetic alopecia may destroy many of the hair follicles. As always, treatments have the best chance of being effective if they are geared to the cause of the hair loss as well as to triggering hair growth. In your case, PRP does not cause hair loss, and it will help your hair follicle regain its thickness and strength by providing the scalp with rich growth factors. Continue with your third PRP treatment, and be sure to be seen by a professional who can investigate the increase in thinning of your hair. Good Luck!

Answer: Can PRP make your hair worse?I am a 25 yr old female with androgenic alopecia. PRP in most cases will help hair loss. No known side effects so far. Worse case scenario it won’t help.
