Can I Use Progesterone for Male Pattern Balding? Does PRP work for hair loss?

I am a 20 year old boy, I have been noticing hair fall eveyday.  I have read on the website progesterone cream for hair fall. Is this safe? What about PRP?

While progesterone is generally considered a natural female hormone, biochemically it is a precursor to testosterone much like testosterone is a a precursor to DHT. (Men produce progesterone naturally  just like women produce testosterone in their body)

Without going into detailed biochemical / medical logic, there may be an academic reasoning behind the use of progesterone but it is not a standard treatment for male pattern balding.

Keep in mind, male pattern balding is a genetic condition for which there is no definite cure.  Drugs such as Propecia and Rogaine can help but over the long run the genetic predisposition will manifest.  The only FDA approved medication for the treatment of male pattern balding is Propecia and Rogaine.

Many doctors and Internet sites will promote treatments such as progesterone, PRP, low level laser light therapy but it is my opinion that the consumer take a “buyer beware” approach for every treatment as you are the only one to protect yourself.  For every success story behind these treatments, there are many disappointed consumers who have spent thousands of dollars with no benefit. Try to make sure you are not one of them.
