PRP Treatment
I am facing severe Male Patter Baldness at the age of 18. I've been taking treatment for the same for 2 months now however the baldness has covered almost entire front side of my head. My doctor has suggested me PRP and Stem-cell therapy alternatively. Although I've read the PRP includes numbing gel and local anastasia, my doctor says they only apply numbing gel. Is it right? Also, should I wait and see for a few months what effect the oral medications and lotions have? Please advice.

Yes definitely prp and stem cells have a role in hair growth. It can be combined with oral medications and topical lotions for drastic results.
Prp is not a very painful procedure which can become comfortable after a applying a numbing gel
