O
Optimistic893925May 20, 2023

I’m on my 3rd prp hair treatment and its been 4 months but i’m still shedding like everyday. My prp doctor told me i should stop shedding after the first treatment but it never stopped. I slowly started to see some hair growing but the shedding isn’t stopping. Why am i still shedding after going through 3 treatments? I still have to go through the 4th one.

Hello, thank you for your question. While there are many clinics and med spas now offering tons of different PRP treatments it doesn't necessarily mean they all know what they are doing especially for hair.
