Will PRP and Laser Therapy help with my hair growth if I have discoid lupus and am taking Plaquenil and Rogaine 5%?

I've been suffering from thinning hair and my hair falling out increasingly over the past few years. I just had a scalp biopsy done and turns out I have discoid lupus. This was after I purchased a laser hair therapy cap and 4 PRP treatments for over $5,000. I was just started on oral medication for it, Plaquenil. I have also been using Rogaine 5% for over a year. Will the laser therapy and PRP still help me with hair growth if I have discoid lupus? I don't have any lesions/rashes, just hair loss.
