I'm thinking of using Retino A 0.05 with Deriva CMS to tone it down a bit. Do you think that'll help with the flaking and redness that everyone talks about in the beginning? I'm really worried because I have to go to work and can't be dealing with a peeling face at the office. Could this combo work for me?

I went to a hair treatment clinic for hair fall issues, and they mentioned that three PRP sessions would permanently stop my hair fall. Is that really true, or do I need to keep getting PRP treatments regularly to maintain the hair growth I've gained? I'm a bit worried and just want to get a clear answer.
