I'm planning to get PRP hair treatment soon, and I'm a bit concerned about whether I need to use any topical medications during or after the treatment. Could you let me know if that's necessary and what exactly I should expect in terms of medication?

PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) hair treatment can be enhanced with topical medications. Here's what you need to know:

Benefits of Topical Medications

Enhanced hair growth: Topicals like minoxidil (Rogaine) or low-level laser therapy (LLLT) can stimulate hair growth.

Improved treatment outcomes: Combining PRP with topical medications may lead to better results.

Common Topical Medications

Minoxidil (Rogaine): Stimulates hair growth and slows down hair loss.

Finasteride (Propecia): Slows down hair loss and promotes hair growth (only for male pattern baldness).
