PRP Treatment
I'm a 18 year old male. I am facing severe male pattern baldness as the baldness is covering more and more area forehead upwards. Now the situation is the bald spot is clearly visible in Daylight. I've decided to take a PRP and Stem-cell therapy(bio-stemcells) as suggested by my doctor. But I am planning to shave my head as the treatment is for about 8 weeks and the bald spot from the front is very embarrassingly visible. I wanted to know if is it okay if I shave my head before starting the PRP and Stem-cell? Also is it effective/harmless to take these treatments(PRP&Stemcell) alternatively?

Certain Dermatologists advice procedures like PRP therapy, platelet rich plasma therapy when needed which may accelerate the rate of hair growth. PRP needs multiple sessions roughly at 6 weeks intervals. PRP is rich in components needed for the hair to grow and become healthier. However it is a top-up treatment and has to be done in parallel to the main medications for hair fall. PRP therapy is increasingly being accepted by dermatologists all over the world. You need not shave your head. However, you may discuss the option of hair transplant with your dermatologist to regain your hairline.
