I'm inherited with a hair that is thin and less in quantity. I'm currently receiving stem cell injections on my scalp for hair regrowth. I've done this once a month for three times, and it has been four month since the first treatment. The ideal result is i'm having more hair grow from each follicle, but I see no sign shows that more hair is growing at all.I sometimes shaved some hair from my hairline, those hair regrow very fast, like in a week, Should I continue? They are quite expensive. Thx
