I've gone through a couple of PRP sessions, but my hair fall still isn't under control. It even looks worse now. How long does it usually take for PRP to start showing results in terms of controlling hair fall and promoting regrowth?

PRP (Platelet-rich Plasma) therapy typically requires 3-6 sessions, spaced 4-6 weeks apart, to achieve optimal results, and it may take 6-12 months to notice significant hair regrowth and reduction in hair fall, but individual responses vary, so consult your doctor to reassess and adjust your treatment plan, and consider combining PRP with other hair loss treatments, such as minoxidil or low-level laser therapy, for enhanced efficacy
