What is the best procedure for restoring hair loss caused by Male Pattern Baldness? (Photo)

August 12, 2017
Asked By:Soldier Z in Washington, DC

I'm a 25 year old African American male. I've been thinning for approx 2 years now due to what I believe is Male Pattern Baldness. Iunderstand that it's important to get a diagnosis first but suggesting that it is MPB causing my hair loss would the PRP procedure be beneficial at all ? From what I understand PRP will help make the thinning hair I already have stronger but wont prevent hair loss itself. With that said what is the best way to strengthen my thinning hair and prevent future balding ?
