The single best test for hair regrowth is the HAIRCHECK test which measures actual bulk. Photographic evaluation is not accurate, in my opinion, in determining the effects for the treatment, although it is suggestive of value. PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma injections) has not been standardized. In fact, the preparation of the PRP solution varies widely such that many of the effluent taken does not maximize enough stem cells. Some groups of doctors are trying to standardize PRP. I have been hesitant to blindly start performing PRP, but pressure continues on patients coming to my practice asking for it. The good news is that if I decide to offer this treatment, I will be able to perform HAIRCHECK instrument checks to validate if it works.
