Administrators Melvin- Admin Posted October 11, 2018 Administrators Share Posted October 11, 2018 Hey Guys, This topic seems to be heavily debated even among elite hair restoration surgeons, some say it works for healing and not for hair loss, others say it rejuvenates hair follicles. I have yet to try it, but I have read studies that suggest that theoretically PRP could be effective, whats your guy's opinion. Feel free to read the article I wrote Is PRP Effective For Treating Hair Loss? 1 I’m a paid admin for Hair Transplant Network. I do not receive any compensation from any clinic.

Senior Member Dazed Posted October 11, 2018 Senior Member Share Posted October 11, 2018 This is probably the best analysis that I have seen on PRP. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4622412/ 1 "Imagination frames events unknown in wild fantastic shapes of hideous ruin, and what it fears, creates."

Senior Member Louisjams Posted October 14, 2018 Senior Member Share Posted October 14, 2018 I may just be cynical but I have to say I do not really believe in PRP. The protocols are too un-standardized, the mechanism of action is too poorly understood, and I have seen too many people spend a lot of money on this without any tangible results. If it works for you that is great, but I would not do this for myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Dazed Posted October 14, 2018 Senior Member Share Posted October 14, 2018 I don't know how an individual can be anything but subjective on this. My 2011 transplant took very good. If my 2018 transplants take good again should I credit PRP? I just don't know how an individual can really evaluate this. That is why I posted the NIH study. My PRP was included with my transplant otherwise I doubt that I would have bought it. "Imagination frames events unknown in wild fantastic shapes of hideous ruin, and what it fears, creates."

Senior Member Mycroft Posted October 25, 2018 Senior Member Share Posted October 25, 2018 If you guys are interested in anecdotal evidence, I am actually going to be trying out PRP very soon in addition to a couple of other non-surgical options. I have been on finasteride for a few years, starter on Minoxidil two months ago, and will be trying out PRP treatments. I'd be happy to try to provide some details on my experience for whatever that's worth. Disclaimer: I have a lot of my native hair and am primarily suffering from early thinning and miniaturization. My understanding is PRP has the best chance of success in this kind of situation, particularly when combined with synergistic treatments like the ones mentioned above.
