Euler Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 Hi, I'm about 1.5 month after surgery and I want to try this PRP for faster growth. Did anyone try and can tell me about it? Is it worth the money? *I didn't do the surgery with PRP I just want to that now for the first time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Speegs Posted September 11, 2018 Senior Member Share Posted September 11, 2018 People are divided upon the value of PRP, you'll hear mixed opinions about whether it's worth it or not.

Received 2,700 grafts with coalition doctor on 8/13/2010 Received 2,380 grafts with Dr. Steven Gabel on 9/30/2011 Received 1,820 grafts with Dr. Steven Gabel on 7/28/2016 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member gillenator Posted September 11, 2018 Senior Member Share Posted September 11, 2018 I have not seen any clinical evidence that PRP treatments will speed up the regrowth process...and even if there was, why spend so much more money to speed up the regrowth? It will happen on it's own...it just takes a little patience and nothing else. Gillenator Independent Patient Advocate I am not a physician and not employed by any doctor/clinic.

Euler Posted September 11, 2018 Author Share Posted September 11, 2018 I just want to hear from someone who did it because I don't want to damage my hair and sculp somehow. gillenator, your are absolutely right but I'm going back to university in October and I don't want to look weird when I'm going back there. So if I can do something that is really safe and can speed up the process (regrowth and redness) I will pay for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Dazed Posted September 12, 2018 Senior Member Share Posted September 12, 2018 I had it done on the 10th, but only because it was thrown in as part of the package. I will have another PRP as part of the package, but I read of mixed results. obviously it is too early see results.

Senior Member gillenator Posted September 14, 2018 Senior Member Share Posted September 14, 2018 Most docs recommend the use of minoxidil to jump start the grafts but talk to your own surgeon regarding this and when they would recommend starting it.
