I am a young sales professional with excess hair loss, which may be due to high DHT levels. Can someone tell me if PRP therapy can solve my hair fall problems?

Hair loss and hair thinning can be caused by multiple reasons. Acute hair loss can be caused even by stress or nutritional deficiencies in a fast-paced lifestyle and inadequate diet. However, males with chronic hair thinning or balding commonly have raised DHT (Dihydrotestosterone) levels. Such thinning is treated by medicines and procedures, which need long term use for sustained results. Medicine include minoxidil and DHT blockers like finasteride. Procedures include PRP therapy and other similar treatments and sometimes transplantation. Platelet rich plasma or PRP therapy involves collecting some blood from the patient and extracting platelet rich plasma from it. This plasma contains growth factors inside the platelets. When injected into the thinning scalp, these growth factors are released in the hair roots and stimulates new hair growth and strengthens existing hairs. Hence PRP can definitely help you, although it may need multiple sessions including long term maintenance for good results. Please visit a dermatologist to find other possible causes of hair loss and get a customised treatment for yourself.
