          TO EVERYONE ON HERE: I URGE YOU TO TRY HYDROCORTISONE 1% TO QUELL SHEDDING. I believe it has definitely helped along my hairline

              Not to thread hijack, but I have booked an appointment for next Friday with Dr. Greco to get the PRP/ACELL treatment done.

              For those interested in this non-surgical procedure, I will be posting a thread after its done with pictures to test it's efficacy moving forward. I will also continue to fight my hairloss with Gutted's combo and Minox in the mean time and hope for the best.

              Enjoy the new year fellas'

                Dont think I have gotten regrowth specifically from it, but it definitely helps quell inflammation which is key in the miniaturizing follicles process of MPB. Do think it greatly helps control shedding/minitiaturization. If you google it, you will see people have had success with it. Couple studies done have showed it significantly increases growth when added with minoxidil, across the board, every time with every user. I use it pretty much every day on my hairline.

                  I'm a bit skeptic.
                  this follows a theory that glutathione decline is responsible for MPB. There is a study confirming that glutathione levels decrease in follicles as a person ages and there is another study that finds glutathione levels 30% less in balding scalp. This is all we have to go from. It would make sense though as all men have DHT but not all men have "good" levels of glutathione AND it would explain why white men go bald in greater numbers(Vitamin D = glutathione)...

                      I am not going to come here often now because its ****ing depressing, but I have derived some solace and support from this community so I want to give back.

                      Acell is the Bomb



                      I am confident I will experience the results similar to the results experienced by the subject above.

                      For those of you who want to move on with your lives "Try" Acell. No lotions potions pills involved Just a few dozen injections and you should be able to halt your hair loss for the next few years until the next set of treatments come out.

                      Peace out

                        Ammin; If I had thousands of dollars lying around to spend, and on an unproven treatment no less, maybe.

                          Those pics say nothing. If he shaves his head to the same length he has in the before pic it might look exactly the same

                            "Those pics say nothing. If he shaves his head to the same length he has in the before pic it might look exactly the same "

                            Not true . Not going to argue. Believe what you want . Its a significant cosmetic difference. Significant!

                            "Unproven Treatment"

                            if it was unproven, board certified surgeons from Ziering to Charles to Baumann to NiedBalski to Greco to Cooley to Prasad to Hitzig to even Rassman wont be offering it as a standalone . Think about it.

                              Not trying to put you down necessarily, just saying that if PRP worked well, there would be hundreds of members from the forums posting pictures and praising its efficacy by now. This is, evidently, not the case.

                                I wondered this myself Clandestine. Only reason I booked my appointment with Dr. Greco is because I DO have $1000 lying around and figure it's worth a shot. If it does nothing..I wasted $1000 and saved others on this forum money and time. It does alarm me that nobody really talks about this treatment and that photos revealing results are extremely hard to find online.

                                This leads me to have very low expectations about seeing a cosmetically pleasing result. Way I see it, I want to sleep at night knowing I did everything in my financial means to fight this curse. If it works I'll sing its praises, it doesn't..well then there was a reason photos are hard to come by.
