DONT go to a derm. they just give you rogaine and know nothing about hair loss which is generally a hormonal issue for most [ Reply | More

Platelet-rich plasma therapy uses your own plasma to nourish your scalp. It works for pattern hair loss as well as for temporary shedding caused by stress, illness, nutritional deficiencies, or hormonal changes. S [ Reply | More
