Im considering getting hair PRP and I'm a bit nervous about the whole process. Could you share the latest procedures for this treatment? Also, what type of anesthesia will you be using?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
For hair PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) treatment, the latest procedure involves extracting a small amount of blood from your arm, processing it to separate the platelet-rich plasma, and then injecting it into the scalp to stimulate hair growth. The type of anesthesia commonly used for this procedure is local anesthesia, which is applied to the scalp to minimize any discomfort during the injections. The brand name of the local anesthesia that can be used for this procedure is Lidocaine. The dosage and concentration of Lidocaine will depend on the specific protocol followed by your healthcare provider, but it is typically administered in small amounts to the scalp before the PRP injections. Remember to discuss any concerns or questions about the procedure with your healthcare provider before undergoing the treatment.

View allMy skin's really oily and acne-prone, plus its super sensitive. I'm trying to figure out which Cetaphil cleanser would be best suited for me. Should I go with the Cetaphil OS Oily Skin Cleanser or should I opt for the Cetaphil Gentle Cleanser? I'm kind of worried about making things worse with the wrong choice. Any advice?
Start with gentle cleanser and check if it suits you,later switch to oil based cleanser

I've been using finax 1mg for hair loss for the last 15 days and honestly, my hair loss had already stopped before I started taking it. But now, it seems like my hair loss is worse, so I'm really thinking about quitting the medicine. I'm just concernedare there any side effects if I stop after only 15 days? Any advice would be super helpful.
Finax 1mg, containing finasteride, is a medication primarily used to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and androgenetic alopecia (male pattern baldness). Why You Might Be Experiencing Increased Hair Loss 1. Initial Shedding: Finasteride can cause an initial shedding of hair, especially during the first few months of treatment. This is a common phenomenon, and hair growth should stabilize over time. 2. Hormonal Adjustments: Finasteride works by blocking the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone that contributes to hair loss. However, this hormonal adjustment can sometimes lead to temporary increased hair loss. Stoping Finax 1mg After 15 Days 1. No Significant Side Effects Expected: Since you've only been taking Finax 1mg for 15 days, it's unlikely that you'll experience significant side effects from stopping the medication. 2. Rebound Effect: However, you might experience a rebound effect, where your hair loss returns to its pre-treatment state or even worsens temporarily. 3. Hormonal Readjustment: After stopping finasteride, your hormone levels will readjust, which might lead to temporary changes in hair growth patterns.

I'm 22 and I've been dealing with hair loss and thinning for quite a few years now. I've tried a bunch of medications but they just haven't worked for me. Recently, I've noticed that the density of my hair seems to have really decreased, especially in the front and sides of my head. I don't have any medical conditions like thyroid issues or anything like that. Can you suggest some natural and medical ways to address this?
