AAPE Trials - I'll be experimenting with it

[hellouser]

Why is there talk of the no-results treatment known as PRP in a thread about AAPE?

[nofintowin]

I literally sat down for a couple of hours, googled prp in NJ, CT, NY, found 20 different doctors, called and got prices. Googling PRP is tricky. Amiya Prasad literally owns a few different websites and has put a lot of effort into search engine optimization so that his sites show up first no matter what you research. Don't go to prasad. You can get around 8 PRP treatments for the price of his useless nonsense lol.

Thanks I appreciate it. How did you find those doctors btw? I am just really starting to research now. I just decided to do it the other day after coming across his before/after pictures. I'm glad I came to the forums. I'd message you but I don't think that's a feature here. :P

Dude, I know about Amiya Prasad. He's an absolute rip off here, there are a few doctors that talk dirt about him for how much he abuses the system. My doctor charges $600-$800, depending (he's in manhattan like amiya prasad). If he allows me, I'll give you his name. If not, jeffrey rappaport, who I've been to as well, is in NJ (10 mins from manhattan) and charges $400 - $600. I like my doctor much better though, as he understands hair loss more and uses a derma stamp and pays way more attention to you.

How much are you paying for your acell/prp? The acell component just doesn't make sense to me. I did prp 4 times. The 4th time I used acell, and I feel like I may have shed a bit more on it. As a rough gauge, I paid $600 for prp, $800 for prp/acell, with a really good doctor whose not interested in ripping people off.

I'm still researching. But, $5000! lol. Pharmaceutical grade vitamin D was included. But yeah, it sounds like a pretty big rip off in comparison. I live in the DC area, but the doctor is in NY. He's opening an office near me.

Another doctor in my area was charging the same. I really have just begun looking into this. I wanted to get a HT done as well though, but I'm not sure how I feel about FUT. FUE has no scarring and it's spread out, which makes me think it's worth it. The cost is a lot higher though.

I need to look around more for PRP/ACELL I guess or consider traveling for it.

He's located in manhattan. Again, he's not in it for the money, so let me just ask him first if I can give out his name since he's also going to be experimenting AAPE with me (not sure what the implications of this are for him, though I doubt there are any). I'll get back to you on monday when he's back from vacation, promise.

^ Who is that doctor? It's easily worth it to just fly wherever he is instead of go to Greco who charges twice as much.

I'm probably going to have ACELL/PRP done next month. I'll see if the doctor would consider injecting AAPE. The study made it appear effective and it seems to have a high safety profile.

[nofintowin]

Nohair, I haven't discussed it with him. I'm on really good terms with him and he even gave me much cheaper PRP than he normally offers. Since he's open to experimenting and since I brought the AAPE to him, I suspect itll be around $50-something nominal

[nofintowin]

It's really not rocket science injecting this. A hair / PRP doctor would be ideal, but worst case scenario, just go to another doctor whose willing to experiment...

How will you be administering it?

If I am able to ship this (AAPE) to Canada and it makes through the border with no problems, I guess I'll have to start calling around my area to find out who can do this
I live in Ottawa where Dr. Rahal has his practice. But I called them a few months ago to inquire about PRP, and the receptionist knew nothing about it. So with all that said, I guess I dont know who will do it. Lol

nofintowin how much is your doctor charging you for the injections?

[cr1mson]

I just sent postremics an email asking if they can ship to Canada.
According to their website AAPE is FDA approved.

[nofintowin]

Yeah, it's FDA OTC (over the counter) approved.
