Oral Minoxidil information handout
Below is our written information handout for patients considering oral minoxidil.
PRP is a safe and effective treatment for male and female pattern hair loss
In our experience, PRP helps 2 out of 3 patients. We measure effectiveness 6 months after three monthly treatments. In 2 out of 3 patients we see an increased hair density and therefore we perform a maintenance treatment every 9 months. This has become a popular treatment option for patients. There is no daily medication needed to be taken and minimal risk of side effects with PRP. In 1 out of 3 patients we do not see enough of a response to continue maintenance treatments annually. For those patients a different medical regimen will be started.
