    Question for anybody administering the PRP therapy

    Hello! I'm about at a NWIII, but also experiencing some diffuse thinning throughout my head. I am blonde, which makes the situation better or worse-- depending on how you look at it.

    While I do have some minor appreciable thinning in the crown area (and knowing full well that PRP does not necessarily improve the temporal and frontal regions of loss), would the PRP treatment be beneficial in improving the diffuse thinning?

    Also, does anybody know who is doing PRP in the Chicago area?

    Thanks!

      Hi T-bone,
      should you post some pictures of your results?
      Where did you do the prp treatment?
      We are all trying to discover more about this therapy and still few results are avaiable to be view.

      Do u also keep anti dht or u just did the prp?

          Do you keep finasteride or saw palmetto?
          Do you use minoxidil?

          Please tell more about your situation, your degree in Norwood scale...

            I have used proscar and propecia in the past but have no sex drive when taking either.....I have used beta sitosterol 700mg a.m.& p.m.with good results and no shedding..



            I dont know what degree of norwood i am. i never pay attention to that method of measurement....I will ask my Dr next time and post.


            i only had 1 prp ever and that was with dr.yarmann in la jolla ca.
            i plan on going back because i had really good results..

              Should you post a picture of the improvement of situation? just to understand what is possible to expect with just a prp treatment having a diffuse thinning.

              Thanks!

                    because they usually get good results and dont feel need to harp on situation so much....Doing prp in my case was best thing i could have done!! Just got second treatment yesterday after only 4 months..

                      Deat T-bone, thanks a lot for your answer.
                      I'm going to contact Dr De Yarman too.

                      Anyway, shall you share with us your actual hairloss regimen?
                      It seems you only keep beta sitosterol.

                      Don't you use any topical lotion?

                      And..one more question... I know that you're very satisfied about your prp treatment, is it possible for you to insert a picture to show an improvement?

                      Thanks a lot!

                        Alex-I don't know of any docs that are administering prp in Chicago. But I suggest you spend a small percentage more and go see Dr. Joseph Greco. I suggest Dr. Greco because he is the best at it (I'm sure most people on this forum would agree). If you're going to try it, you might as well go with the best.

                        I wish I had as much luck as t-bone...

                        I had prp done by Dr. Greco almost 4 months ago. I honestly haven't seen much of a difference from the treatment but there are several people who say they have benefited from it.Even though I haven't seen a difference in my hair, I'm thinking of trying prp again in a couple of months-I don't want to rule it out after one treatment. I'm hoping that at the very least it will help me hold on to the hair I have. I started a thread a while back. If you want to see my before and afters, just go to my profile and you'll find it under statistics.

                        Goodluck!

                          If you decide to get PRP? Go to someone who uses acell in conjunction with PRP.I think PRP alone does a lot but with Acell I noticed best results!
                          I go to DR.James DeYarman in La Jolla CA.

                            Dear T-bone, if the 2 sessions of prp already stopped your hairloss and made some new hair growth, how can you say that you saw the best results with prp+acell?
                            It sounds incredible, you did the 3rd session ( prp+acell) so recently, you also promised to share some pictures with us, but after several months still nothing...

                            I hope you will give us concrete data.

                            I want to ask you something more: in several posts you continue writing that you did the treatment in Dr De Yarman's clinic, it begins to sound like a television spot!

                            We already know where you did the treatment, let's talk about and begin to see your results.
