Hello,
With Minoxidil, during the initial one or two months, you will have hair fall, which is normal. Continue to use Minoxidil. PRP acts as an adjuvant to Minoxidil. Since you already have taken 3 sessions, you can take PRP once in 3 months for maintenance. With all these treatments, noticeable results will be seen after 6 to 8 months.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
