I am diagnosed with Androgenic alopecia.I have consulted three doctors and every one recommended the PRP. 4 months back I got one sitting in India and it was painless no scarring/redness. I felt like nothing and there was no hair loss. I got other sitting last week in Texas and I feeling like I am losing more and even the baby hair is falling off and my scalp is still sore.The doctor said as I was close to my periods the pain is common. Is it normal to lose hair after PRP? Any advice would help.
