PRP increase hormone levels?

Question

I have read that DHT and T are stored in our blood plasma and Im assuming if we process that plasma through centrifuging and inject it into our scalp that would be raising the levels of DHT and T and in turn would increase our hair loss. Can you please provide clarification and if the centrifuge process eliminates some of those hormone levels? thank you for your time

John Tang, MD · Answer

When you are centrifuging, the hormones will be separated out into a different level than the platelets so when you inject the PRP it contains the growth factors and not the hormones.  The hormones will be found in the rbc layer.

The process of producing PRP does not concentrate testosterone. Testosterone continues to be the same concentration as in your blood. Furthermore, the receptor is sensitive to dihydrotestosterone and not testosterone.PRPHAIRMD.COM

Prp won't affect your hormone levels. The growth factors work as a fertilizer to the hairs and will help them grow and improve the appearance of your scalp. I often combine with progesterone injections to improve results. I suggest you see an expert for a formal evaluation.  Best, Dr. Emer.
