I know honest doctors who use PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma injections). Many of these doctors are unimpressed, so they may be doing it because patients want it. There is considerable hype on the internet that this procedure does wonder for hair loss. We’ve heard “universally good results” and “very effective in my hands” comments from […]

It seems that you are concerned about growth. At seven months, you still might expect to see more growth. I always tell my patients that at eight months you should see 80% of the growth to styling length. I doubt that this is going to happen, but you should wait another month or two. PRP will not make […]

That is interesting considering that PRP is being offered in hair clinics across the world.
I am a 20 year old boy, I have been noticing hair fall eveyday. I have read on the website progesterone cream for hair fall. Is this safe? What about PRP? While progesterone is generally considered a natural female hormone, biochemically it is a precursor to testosterone much like testosterone is a a precursor to […]
PRP, as discussed in previous posts today, is not very dependable in growing hair. A hair transplant for existing balding or recession clearly addresses missing hair that PRP can’s address. It is like comparing hauling gravel with a bicycle basket or a Mack Truck.
https://stemcellstm.alphamedpress.org/content/early/2015/09/23/sctm.2015-0107.abstract 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 […]
Hair growth has been reported with PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) injections which utilize many injections into the scalp and doctors are now doing this wold wide to induce hair growth where there is great need for it. I have been hesitant to accept this treatment because there are no good studies that prove it works. Maybe […]
While progesterone is generally considered a natural female hormone, biochemically it is an indirect precursor to testosterone much like testosterone is a a precursor to DHT. (Men produce progesterone naturally just like women produce testosterone in their body) If you follow this logic you can argue that you should be taking more cholesterol for male […]
Many doctors offer PRP for hair loss. There are many research articles written about PRP treatment for hair loss. Just because there are scientific articles suggesting it may work does not mean it does work. However, PRP treatment is becoming more mainstream as more doctors offer it. It is basically a portion of your own blood […]
Anyone can claim anything. It may be true. I do not know. I cannot verify the claim personally. If these treatments do work, you are likely correct in stating that these treatments would be duplicated and offered all over the world – especially because it is such an easy and inexpensive thing to do. By […]
Minoxidil is known to cause shedding in the initial use. It is not comparable to trauma. The hair should come back and start reversing from the short term loss within 2 or so months. The various acids in the 82M or other similar medications generally cause the scalp irritation, dryness and flaking. The basic theory […]
At the recent International Society of Hair Restoration Surgeons (ISHRS annual meeting), the subject of the use and value of using Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) came up. Over the years, there have been many poorly researched reports on the use of PRP. Not only at the meeting did the papers reinforce the lack of value […]
PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) is hype without good science behind its value on hair growth. Doctors make money offering it. Photos or videos on line do not prove anything. There’s documents, photos, and videos of aliens here on Earth but that does not mean it’s true. I need to see good science before I recommend […]
The above text was written to my private email and is a good overview of the PRP topic, so I have included it in our blog. I do not engage in using PRP and ACell for hair growth or in hair transplantation. We do use on occasion ACell with the patients permission for donor wound […]
Snippet from the article: Read the rest — The vampire ‘cure’ for baldness: Scientists inject patient’s own blood into head to stimulate hair growth’ It is important that the readers do not confuse the alopecia areata (an autoimmune disease that causes hair loss) with the genetic male pattern balding condition called androgenic alopecia. Applying platelet-rich […]
