Can too many prp/acell injections be detrimental to hair?

brandonmarsh17
I received a prp/acell injection about 5 months ago. About a week ago, I got another one mixed with adipose derived stem cells. I am experience quite a large amount of shedding, and am now wondering if there is a certain doasage of acell/prp that must be spaced out less frequently than 5 months. Essentially, I am wondering if this frequency could cause more harm than good. I was under the impression the second treatment would simply enhance the first, but now I'm not so sure.
