PRP with FUE - is it really worth it?
Over-Rated replied to Over-Rated's topic in Hair Transplant Reviews
It may or may not be with Rahal. There is no pressure at all to sell. However I do understand it's recommended, and is additional money, yes. -

So you think I should opt for the PRP with my FUE, for sure? -
PRP with FUE - is it really worth it?
Over-Rated replied to Over-Rated's topic in Hair Transplant Reviews
Thanks guys. Again, to be very clear, this question is only in reference to PRP benefitting the FUE surgery. Personally I don't think I will opt for it, but finding the answers very interesting so far. -
Is it REALLY worth to add PRP when you get a FUE procedure? There are some bad reviews with people using PRP alone... so perhaps best to steer clear, especially if the PRP is something like 1k additional? Although if money were no option.. is PRP worth to add to FUE procedure?

It's just ethanol.. and it's like 1 drop, for most people.

Just to be sure.. So you were NOT using minoxidil at all prior, no topical? And you jumped on 10mg oral minox, right? You have a 70%-80% decrease in shedding now... but did you shed initially?
-
That doesn't mean much though. Of course they put that in case someone tries to drink 1ml or something. One must look at the ingredients, they are all 'safe' and you would only require 1 or 2 drops. Active Ingredients: Kirkland Minoxidil 5% w/v. Inactive ingredients: Alcohol, 30% v/v, propylene glycol, 50% v/v, purified water. 5% strength means 1ml = 50mg 0.1ml = 5mg 0.01ml = 0.5mg One "drop" is around 0.05ml roughly which equates to 2.5mg of minoxidil.

Interesting, why 10mg and not 0.1ml, 5mg? Any results thus far? Any shedding?

1. Your progress pics are truly inspirational and your hair is looking FANTASTIC, to put it lightly 2. I'm coming up on 2 months on 100mg oral Progesterone (taken once a day, at bedtime). Do you know if your hair loss perhaps got slightly worse at all before it got better? I'm not saying my hair has gotten worse, however I did start taking very detailed pictures and my crown and center is opening up a bit, more than I remembered. I know it's very very early on the Progesterone, and if this was fin, people would tell me I'm crazy to expect results this soon. To answer that, I am not expecting any results as of yet, simply want to know if your hair may have gotten a bit worse before it got better? OR perhaps you simply noticed nothing at all until something positive around 6 months in? I'd really love to hear more details about the 1st months to 1 year when you started on Progesterone, if you don't mind. I had a FUT like you so there is NO turning back for me. I am pinning all of my hopes on Progesterone and I believe in it, just would love to hear some feedback from you on it. Thanks so much -

Great results man! Congrats. Are you still using 100mg oral progesterone per night? I've been on this for a little bit now, few weeks. You noticed thickening around say 6 months in? Can you elaborate a bit on your progesterone usage? Myself and another guy are both following your 100mg of oral progesterone protocol, so we patiently await your reply and any additional thoughts/comments you would like to add about your progesterone usage. Thank you! -

For natural oral progesterone, yes, most likely need a script unless you order it online somewhere from some pharmacy overseas. Topical progesterone is very easy to get online though (just make sure it's USP aka pharma grade). 100mg oral progesterone = 10mg topical progesterone because oral bio-availability is not great. There should be no negative side effects. If you look around, some men actually get BETTER erections and whatnot from progesterone. Progesterone in Men http://www.peaktestosterone.com/Progesterone_Erectile_Dysfunction.aspx "The rats with low or no sexual activity had lower progesterone levels relative to those displaying the highest sexual performance after 9 days of training. Testosterone, in turn, was also significantly reduced in animals with low/no sexual performance compared with excellent/adequate rats. In conclusion, progesterone may be a limiting factor to promoting sexual performance in male rats." [8] It's all very interesting. P.S guess what reduces progesterone metabolites a lot (and allopreg by 800%)? finasteride.
