Is PRP a good option to keep hair from thinning more and to thicken them? Is it actually effective?

Asked By:88Harold88 in Orange, CA

Had a transplant 3600 grafts towards the front and mid section but not the crown. Still have a good amount of existing thin hair on my scalp and crown shown in the photo before. Second photo is 2 weeks post op. My goal is to keep those thinning hairs or to thicken them. Is PRP a good option, Is it actually effective? It's pretty expensive for me so I want to make the right decision. How many PRP treatments at first and how many yearly? Finasteride and minoxidil gave bad side effects for me. Thx
