Would PRP procedure help hair thinning from a Keto diet?

Exuberant1437
I am a 31 year male, and have had male pattern baldness for a decade. I've been taking Finastride & Rogaine for 7 yrs and did my first FUT in September. In December, I started the Keto diet and lost around 10 pounds. I noticed that my hair has suddenly got a lot thinner in the past few weeks. I had never experienced anything like this before. Given that hair thinning is a common side effect of Keto, would a PRP procedure be effective in reversing the hair thinning if I stop this diet immediately?
