Hair Loss and PRP

Hair loss and PRP is the topic area for anyone who has noticed more hair in the brush or a wider part and wants plain answers. Men and women both ask here. It gathers four questions on causes, family history, PRP, and when to see a doctor. Madera is the home base for these answers, and they reach the rest of Madera County, Madera Acres and Fairmead included.

PRP stands for platelet-rich plasma, and Cleveland Clinic describes one step of the process this way: "Then, the platelet-rich plasma is injected into your scalp where hair loss has occurred."

Questions that explain what is happening

These two cost nothing to read, and they help you make sense of what you are seeing.

• Is male pattern baldness inherited?
• What causes female pattern hair loss?

PRP and the doctor visit

PRP and the decision to get help both depend on your own health, so use these answers to prepare.

• Is PRP safe for women with thinning hair?
• When should I see a doctor about hair loss?

If you are curious about this treatment, the Cleveland Clinic article asking whether PRP for hair loss works is another free read.

Know your pattern before reading about PRP

If your hair is thinning and you are not sure why, open the question that matches you, male or female, before the treatment questions. Knowing the pattern makes them easier to follow.
