Great thread I'm glad it's finally been cleared up.

Fair enough. 4 years seems like a long time to wait for me.

4 years is nothing really

I wonder how much it would cost

High protein diets actually decrease testosterone so dont see how it could increase hair loss. high carbs and high calories increase testosterone.

with 800 grafts , which i assume is very less , what could be the intensity of shock loss.

Also , why i am loosing hair from area that are not native to transplanted region?

Anyone know the answer?

Very funny

wow I'm surprised we haven't heard more about this you think many doctor would be willing to try it in the hair?

I would see a doctor first I'm not sure what to think

Hi Melinda,

 

First of all...don't beat yourself up. There is a great deal of information out there related to hair loss and how to get it back that confuses the heck out of patients. If you go to International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery, and type PRP in the search box, you'll find an extensive and interesting article on how PRP has been beneficial to injured tissue but IS NOT YET PROVEN TO HELP REVIVE DEAD FOLLICLES THAT ARE NOT PRODUCING HAIR!!! I put this in CAPS because a great deal of doctors are promoting PRP (many of them are even members of the ISHRS...where they all go to learn and keep up with methods) but then when you read the small writing on their websites or information they make you sign at the office, it states they don't offer any guarantees. That's where I find this insulting....taking $2500 from a patient but not offering guarantees??? If you're not so confident of the service you're offering that you have to write a clause to cover your butt....shame on you for offering it in the first place!

 

I'd call the office immediately and ask for your money back. I'd try proven FDA hair loss products such as minoxidil, laser therapy and/or even Viviscal vitamins, which you can get over the counter. Try going to other consultations in order to find a more balanced game plan for you.

 

Best of luck!!

Great advice

I just recently read an article on abc news http://abcnews.go.com

Dont let your family give you a hard time its not your fault its their fault actually for giving you the genes LOL

I've never heard losing 100 is normal? Maybe for someone prone to andropecia?

I would try finasteride first

Oh thats great my neck of the woods. Is this the only time they will be coming?

I was impatient but then about after a year I finally have seen results. I can vouch for the finasteride at this site if you're curious (promotional link removed) they send without a script.
