Before embarking on PRP treatment I would make sure your anemia has resolved. Iron deficiency anemia is one of the causes of hair loss. Make sure your ferritin levels are within normal before considering other treatments such as PRP.

Hi maryambrosee

Patients who desire hair restoration or have deep wrinkles, droopy skin, volume loss, and uneven skin tone are usually the best candidates for PRP therapy. Since it promotes collagen production naturally, it’s also a wonderful treatment choice for refreshing tired-looking skin. Inform us about any skin conditions, anemia, or blood disorders to decide if it’s safe for you to undergo PRP therapy. For more information about this procedure, please visit our website.

Hello and thank you for your question. Has your Anemia issue been resolved? I think its best to have your physician do a full bloodwork to see if there are any issues before you consider PRP. If that comes back with good results then I would give PRP a try. Best wishes to you.

Hello, we have been able to achieve great results with hair restoration using microneedling and anteage stem cells.  You can also have the stem cells injected directly into the scalp.  Multiple treatments will be necessary and we recommend some home care as well.  Good luck!

at 17, I would want to find out why you have hair loss. PRP doesn't do much for many of the causes for undiagnosed hair loss.
