A 27-year-old male experiencing hair loss post-Covid is considering PRP (platelet-richplasma) therapy. He's seeking personal experiences about the process, particularly regarding pain levels, despite his dermatologist's assurance of using local anesthesia.
Someone's brother tried Platelet-richplasma (PRP) for hair loss; it had minimal effect on hair but improved skin appearance. Microneedling at home was suggested as a more sustainable alternative.
The user is experiencing diffuse thinning and inflammation despite using 2.5mg dutasteride daily, ciclopirox, and ketoconazole shampoos. They are considering treatments like hydroxychloroquine and JAK inhibitors due to suspected scarring alopecia and have faced challenges in obtaining a scalp biopsy.
Hair loss discussion includes treatments like Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841. Plateletrichplasma treatment is considered expensive but cheaper than hair transplant.
The user is using topical dutasteride, finasteride, minoxidil, and tretinoin but seeing no results or side effects. They also microneedle every two weeks but experience little bleeding, questioning if a thick scalp is preventing treatment effectiveness.
