Does PRP treatment show promise for naturally thin/fine hair (not thinning)?

January 25, 2018
Asked By:5150anon in Austin, Texas

I have fine and thin (naturally blonde) hair. I always have--but heat treatments etc obviously exacerbate it somewhat. My biggest issue is that the hair itself is VERY thin and the sides of my scalp (above my temples) are sparse (can clearly see scalp). I was wondering if any doctors have had success in creating thicker or more dense hair with PRP (injections or microneedling) in this case? As far as I'm aware I have no genetic thinning or balding.
