I started to lose an unusual amount of hair about a year and a half ago. I realized that it was likely due to simultaneously hardcore intermittent fasting (Telogen Effluvium) and traction alopecia caused by a regretful man bun. Most of my hair is back now, and I’m not balding, but I lost density behind my […]

Should I get PRP with or immediately after a hair transplant? I have never used PRP with hair transplants. My hair transplants grow regardless of what one does after. I personally believe that it is a waste of money.
I’m a diffused thinner and I’ve been on fin for a year and 8 months, but it just stopped working, I’ve been losing crazy amount of hair for 3 months now, to the point that my hair is back to baseline and probably even worse, my hairline is also taking a hit. PRP. I haven’t […]
From digging around various hair forums it’s clear there is a generally negative feeling towards PRP as a treatment for MPB. From my limited knowledge on the area though it’s seems like this stems from unrealistic expectations around it regrowing lots of hair. Pretty much every study I can find on it reports statistically significant […]
Very nice responsive treatment. Keep it up and all of the balding may be gone shortly.
This article reports on 4 patients who had occlusion of the ophthalmic artery with irreversible blindness after PRP injection of the face, the most common cosmetic procedure performed today. It shows the risks associated with PRP into the face. In addition to the case report in the article below, another doctor reported 3 more cases […]
The doctor recommended 10 sessions of PRP at $500/session. I would guess you might purchase a good used car for that $$ amount. So if you were shopping for a car, you would research it, right? Doubt that you will stop your hair loss with PRP and reversing it is another story! Some doctors are […]
I have always felt that this was something that made money for the doctor but gave the patient no benefit. This article seems to prove it. Article can be found here: JEADV-2019-2618.R3_Proof_hi.pdf
This is a disturbing article because it put a new risk for PRP, although very a very remote risk. The doctor may have entered one of the vessels that communicated through the skull into the brain. Although these connections are usually small, we have known that such connections exist. The post-treatment of necrosis also indicates […]
I called this one place in Vienna, VA that says they have the “Best” Centerfuse and the Harvesting Kit known as “Terumo, which she also said is the top of the line and the best of the best for PRP hair loss. She said it’s $1,500 for PRP w/out A-Cell and $2K for PRP w/A-Cell. […]
The International Society for Hair Restoration Surgeons meeting this year was in Bangkok, Thailand. I was on the teaching faculty and almost 1000 people attended making it one of the more successful meetings in the history of this teaching hair restoration society. The subject of Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) and its value was discussed by […]
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4622412/ The paper is interesting. Many people pre test platelet counts and then do platelet counts on the PRP obtained after it is spun down. If one were to take an average of perhaps 130cc of blood and spin it down, they would wind up with usually 6 or so cc of PRP. Platelet counts are […]
This article shows the Effect of Platelet-Rich Plasma in Hair Regrowth: A Randomized Placebo-Controlled Trial. This is an impressive study and it will make me rethink my approach to PRP. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4622412/
I like the density count in the article which does show an increase in hair density following PRP. More data and more patients are required but the study is good. file:///Users/nhi/Downloads/sjy029%20(1).pdf
You have obvious thinning. With the failures of PRP to effectively treat your hair loss and assuming that you have been fully evaluated for hormone and other deficiencies, you might want to consider Scalp Micropigmentation, which is an excellent cosmetic treatment for this condition.
