Which type of PRP treatment should I consider for best results in the next 6-8 months? (Photos)

Asked By:femalehairlost in Santa Cruz, CA

My hair has been thinning since my mid 20's. I'm now 40. I've taken medications for 7yrs which kept the loss at bay until recently, I've now added Rogaine & finastride. I'll be getting married in 8 months & I'd like to increase my chances of having fuller/thicker hair by then. 1) What is the probability that PRP will be an effective treatment for me to see results in 8 months? 2) Is there a risk of shock/hair loss after treatment? 3) Which type of PRP would be most effective for my situation?
