Nicotine use, especially from vaping, may worsen hair shedding and reduce the effectiveness of finasteride and dutasteride. Quitting nicotine seems to improve hair health.
The conversation is about the potential risk of permanent hair loss from PRP (platelet rich plasma) treatments and whether PRF (platelet rich fibrin) carries the same risk. The user is seeking information on this topic.
A user shared their experience with hair loss treatments, including I-PRF injections, mesotherapy, and a topical solution containing Minoxidil and Finasteride. After experiencing side effects, they decided to stop the medicinal treatments and focus on natural alternatives like I-PRF, microneedling, and essential oils.
The user experienced hair loss after chikungunya and started PRF (platelet-rich fibrin) injections with injectable Dutasteride, noticing new hair growth. They are hopeful for continued improvement.
Plant-based exosomes for hair loss lack scientific evidence and are considered high-risk with low evidence. Combining PRF with minoxidil and finasteride is suggested as a better option.
