default
Posted on Tue, 29 Sep 2015
Question: I am 27 year old female.Almost 6-7 yrs I had great amount of hair loss. Since last 2 yrs I have been on multivitamins, amino acid, biotin supplements. Hair fall has reduced and is in control. Hemoglobin level is also good(around 13). However the density has reduced and hair has become thinner. Dermatologist has suggested supplements along with Denseux hair growth serum and Ducray Anastim lotion to be applied daily for improving density. Does these lotion work to improve density? Are there any chances to improve density of hair or new hair growth(I don't wish to go for surgical procedure).

What about PRP treatment? Does that work for improving density and hair growth?Are the results temporary or permanent and is there any adverse effect to it? I had asked the doctor about it.She said that it is banned and advised not to go for that treatment.

PRP helps

Detailed Answer:
Hello
PRP definitely helps .
It can increase hair density by 30 %.
The problem is that it is bit costly and results are temporary.
It costs around Rs 10,000 per session and at least 6 sessions are required.
