Acute Telogen effluvium
Hi doctor. I have been diagnosed with acute TE. I got my second prp session today. However I haven't seen any reduction in hair shedding. I am wondering if Prp is a viable treatment for my condition and if it is , how much time should I give before my shedding gets better .
I am taking proper multivitamins and my lab reports are all okay.

Most of the scientific research say that PRP is not effective in hair loss due to TE. You can search for the same online. Your hair shedding should resolve by itself in a few months.
