Will PRP restore hairloss due to high cortisol (stress)? I am susceptible to male pattern baldness and had alot of shedding in those areas due to a stressful 2 months. Are these follicles dead and will PRP help? I have eliminated the stress at this time and the shedding has slowed.

I did a PRP session plus adipose stem cells. It's been only 15 days though. Results usually are detectable by the 3-6 month mark. If you want, remind me and I will let you know my results and my dermatologist's opinion of my situation. I too suffered hair loss due to stress (telogen effluvium) and male pattern baldness.

Follicles appear to never "die" so counts never increase so all of that is from like ten years ago. You want to work to find things that increase anagen but there seems to be only one that substantially increases it and it is estrogen. So a lot of this is circular in terms of saying anything. In your situation from what I have read, there's risk of shedding here so you have to evaluate. The whole concept of Telogen Effluvium is so poorly defined that's it is destroying our ability to say anything because you want it to be a shed at the beginning, one does, which is crazy. A shed at the beginning is just like a shed now meaning there might be Telogen Effluvium and male pattern baldness not either or. Me, I would think about something else.

Yes. Both. That will help the young guys who come on here arguing about I have Telogen Effluvium, I promise. None of them ever do, not as a one-time exegesis of that person's situation.
