How much time does it typically take for PRP to stimulate hair regrowth?

I'm a 21-year-old woman, and I had my first PRP treatment on February 28, 2018. I've completed five sessions so far and am scheduled for my sixth one on July 19. However, I haven't noticed any new hair growth on my scalp yet. People have mentioned that results may become visible after several months, but I can honestly say that I haven't seen any new hair. Can you please provide some insight into how long it typically takes for PRP to regrow hair? PRP is my last hope for addressing my hair problems, and I'm eager to understand the timeline for potential results.

Hi, PRP does not trigger new hair follicles to form but may induce already existing weak follicles to gain strength and grow, particularly in males.PRP may increase the mean thickness of growing hair follicles.PRP may decrease the percentage of hair follicles on the way to be lost (telogen phase of hair follicles in males) PRP is effective particularly in androgenic type of hair loss, it may have some secondary indirect quality increase effects in women but is not effective for female type hair loss. (according to recent publication from Texas University) These views and data subject to change with the emerging new publications and scientific evidence.

I began experiencing hair loss from my eyebrows. All of my blood tests have yielded normal results, and I've received diagnoses from two dermatologists attributing it to stress-induced telogen effluvium (TE) in conjunction with seborrheic dermatitis.
