Hello Doctors, I lost around 50% of hair from the combination of bad hair dye jobs and Graves disease. I stopped dyeing my hair and had my thyroid removed 3 years ago. My hair is slowly growing back but I still have alot of bald spots and areas where I don't think the hair is growing in. If I undergo the prp treatment will the hair continue to grow after stopping the treatment? Or is this something where you have to keep getting done in order for the hair to keep coming in? Thank you.
