    Call out to doctors to explain prp growth factors
    Could any of the doctors that read this forum please give me an answer to this query.

    I was going to have PRP + Acell treatment but now I have heard that plasma is full of sex hormones - Testosterone and DHT included. I also read and have confirmed that TGF-B1 is one of the main growth factors taken from PRP. It has previously been stated that TGF-B1 is linked to follicle death and I believe that some have tried to inhibit this growth fact to help lessen hair loss. Could one of you doctors please explain to me how it is safe and helpful to soak our follicles in this mixture? I've posted this on other threads but I'm desperate and NEED an answer from a doctor, I guess preferably one of those that users PRP so Hitzig, Feller etc.

    Otherwise maybe Spencer knows more about this, perhaps he can answer me or ask one of the doctors?

    Has this query been brought up before?

    PLEASE, I REALLY NEED A PROFFESSIONAL ANSWER IN REGARDS TO THIS, I DO NOT WANT TO MAKE MY HAIR LOSS WORSE WHEN I'M PAYING £1000 TO SUPPOSEDLY PROTECT THEM!

    No one gonna help me then?
    OK so it looks like no one's gonna answer my question. Shame as I thought this website would be the best one for getting an answer from one of the doctors that actually perform these treatments.

    Why don't you privately email one of the doctors who perform it regularly.

    Just have...
    I've just tried Dr. Hitzig and Dr. Greco's surgeries. I just asked on here originally cause I thought one of the users who had the treatment done might know or maybe a doctor that doesn't do prp might have some input given that I'm sure any doctor that does prp is going to maintain that it's fine to use.

    No, I've tried e-mailing their individual clinics for info.
