Brief Answer:
Regarding PRP

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to ask a doctor service. I have gone through your query and noted your concern.

PRP or Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy is an effective option to arrest hair loss. Unlike traditional remedies like minoxidil solution there is no initial increased shedding with PRP and results are faster in terms of arresting hair loss but it is always used along with medical treatment so that once the hair loss is controlled medicines could take over from there

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if you need any more assistance.
