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.

(according to recent publication from Texas University) These views and data subject to change with the emerging new publications and scientific evidence.
