Hidden Gem -> MSM/Vit C & TRX2 - a fin alternative?

[MrBlonde]

Well, if thats true. I'm very much interested.
Do you know of a doctor in europe that does this?

Obviously this needs to be looked into further..

There was a place in the UK offering this

http://www.theprivateclinic.co.uk/treatments/prp-acell/

but I recently contacted them and they no longer offer the service. AFAIK the did the injections for a few months and then stopped, not exactly a confidence builder.

Here is our thread about it

http://www.baldtruthtalk.com/showthread.php?t=5037

I don't know of anywhere else in Europe doing this now but it doesn't mean its not being done.

The only other news I have been able to find is this

http://prasadcosmeticsurgery.com/tag/acell-prp/

which says the following

In late August, Dr. Hitzig began an ACell study with the Poseidon Hair Clinic, an international hair restoration group with offices throughout Europe. The purpose of the study is to determine the effectiveness of ACell/PRP injections for hair loss compared to the traditional follicular unit extraction (FUE) hair transplant. Patients who received the ACell/PRP injections and patients who had an FUE hair transplant will be evaluated every three months for a year to determine differences in donor area hair re-growth, healing and hair duplication in the recipient areas.

I haven't made contact so I'm not sure if it was a just study or the service is being offered but Google doesn't throw up much more than that, well not in the brief time I inspected it.

3 1/2 months in, also increase in sebum, still itching like crazy, as for the hair hard to say

[baldnotbeautiful]

This is crazy - this regimen seems to influence everyone in a different way - I saw a huge decrease of sebum - you saw an increase. Crazy...

I am about 5weeks into this(3g msm,1g vit c 2 times a day) and I'm not sure if I've noticed much of anything. My temples are definitely losing ground though, so it sure hasn't stopped anything. Its weird because I feel like my temple region is always oily, but my hair was also so oily in general that I would HAVE to wash it daily or it just looked horrible. I'm at a point now where I could probably go 2 days without washing, so it seems there may be an overall decrease in oil, but the temple areas being oily are what throws me off.

I used to itch like crazy, but that was when I was on fin, which i stopped around late october. I have some itch, but its decreased a lot, but not sure if its because of this or because i stopped fin.

No noticeable hair/nail growth, I do think my skin is a tad better though.

I am not trying to sound like anyone but only reporting the truth.

What I know for sure is that I was shedding everyday when I was shampooing correctly and even at times in between my more delicate washes I was still shedding but now the in between sheds (6 days) are reduced. Sometimes I only get hair loss post shower during the day, which I think is normal and the rest of the week is fine. Sometimes I don't lose any hair in between and I'm talking about the hairline here. I run my hand through my hair and tug at them sometimes and nothing, where as a few weeks back I would always get hairs in my hands. This is a fairly recent development 3-4weeks so I will keep an eye on it and you guys will be the first to know if shedding returns.

I am a desk jockey at my job and I have a white keyboard and desk so any hairfall is very noticable. I am seeing less here to although I have been off work for a couple of weeks. Sometimes in work its hard to focus on these things but I'll keep a close eye on it.

I have been taking 9g MSM daily and 4g VIT C. I have missed some TRX2 due them taking a long time to deliver, its been my fault on occasion as I leave my supply go too low before reordering, all together I would say I have missed 10 days of TRX2 but I take an extra dose to make up for things.

The more I think about it the less I think it was anything to my change in shampoo regime as I'm pretty sure I was shedding in between. Obviously I saw an initial positive result on shower days due to my hair not getting the rough treatment but it was shedding during the week in between. Like I said I will keep a close eye on it and report back.

My existing hair is growing nicely still - but i'm noticing my skin is flaring up, red patches of irratated skin on my eybrows, forehead - have had this before, and it's not bothered me for about a year - it's back now, so, can't say this combo is helping my skin tbh.

[MrBlonde]

The pictures should be on Dr hitzigs website within a few weeks when I go back for my follow up

Can you post your own before and after photos here also so we can compare the two sets? You claim to be getting amazing regrowth very soon after this procedure.

Also has anyone found a place in Europe that is offering this service yet?

Just completed my first PRP procedure today with Dr. Greco. He was extremely informative and we sat down when I initially arrived and he was great at explaining how the PRP process works, what to expect, and the science behind it. Really riveting stuff.

The actual procedure wasn't the most pleasant experience I ever had, but it wasn't intolerable. Blood was drawn, platelets were separated, and thus injected throughout the top of my scalp.

I did have a headache throughout the day, as well as some dizziness, but this is common and what Dr. Greco advised might occur. Looking forward to possible regrowth if any. I'll keep you all posted on my progress.

Cool dude, if i had the money and it was local in the UK i'd have a go myself, getting nowhere fast my way - sigh - guess i'll just have to roll with it and pray..

I know you just had it, but based on what you heard, do you think its worth it? I spoke to a Dr Cooley rep today about it and she acted like I was going see pretty significant results...definitely selling the product. They also wanted $2500 for this though...PRP+Acell. Is that what you got? I believe I read that you only were paying roughly $1200ish. I wonder why the big price difference. I will definitely ask them to explain the deal. I live in NC, about 4hrs from Cooley...but I'd definitely drive up to NY to save over 1k. I just really have read/seen very few positive results about this procedure, I'd be fine wasting 1k, but over 2k kinda hurts my bankroll...

[PinotQ]

FYI I tried PRP+Acell from Dr. Cooley. My experience was that I didn't see any change until about the 4 month mark, which is exactly what he told me would happen. Then I saw a definite improvement, at least in the crown. Unfortunately, the positive effects faded after 3 to 4 months. Would be interested to know if others have had longer lasting success. I'm sure Dr. Cooley will continue to tweak and improve as he seemed detailed and analytical.......very professional.

Create your own damn topic for PRP.

[Jcm800]

Anyone got any updates? Myself - around four months in, nothing much happening, still itching, still losing ground, still praying.

[Cob984]

Which treatment?
I mean, guys talk about lots of different "treatments" in this thread - or about different combinations of "treatments" and/or drugs/medications.
