PRP vs Minoxidil: How Do They Differ?
Quick answer: Minoxidil is a topical you apply at home; PRP is an in-clinic procedure using your own blood plasma, performed by medical providers. They differ in cost, visits and commitment. Ask a doctor whether either suits you; some people use them together under medical advice.
Minoxidil
Daily home application; continued use needed.
PRP
Clinic sessions by a medical provider; ask about the number of sessions.
Other options
