I'm a bit confused about how to use the Qsera hair serum my dermatologist recommended. Should I be applying it with my fingers directly on my scalp, or is it supposed to be sprayed all over my hair? My doctor mentioned something about spraying, but I'm not entirely sure.

Q-Sera hair serum is meant to be applied with fingers as suggested in the directions.

I'm a bit concerned about my hairfall since I've had my first PRP session about ten days ago and noticed it's actually increased. My doctor said to have the next session in about 12 weeks. Should I be worried about the hairfall getting worse, or is this normal? Would love some advice on whether this is okay.
