Does Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy really work?

so does it work?

I found this place in Vancouver, BC that offers PRP treatment and the results in the photos look great. I don't know if it's b.s. or not but here's a link to the facility: http://www.mcmedgroup.com/mcprphair.html

Well that seems kind of interesting... And for only $600..?

remember its not for bald heads or where the hair follicle is lost.

nor am i sure if it helps to protect those hairs that are in the crown from getting lost?

If it's legit then it's a good start

Ok but is there proof that it works yes or no, can people stop going round the question. If yes how does it help and at what stage or hair loss has it a better chance of working.

I tried finding out if PRP works too and there doesnt seem to be a clear answer anywhere. So yesterday I called up a clinic near where i live in southern california, they said they had plenty of customers who were VERY happy with their results but when i asked them what it actually did she was really hesitant to say anything. According to the rep "It doesnt grow new hair, it doesnt stop hair loss" but their customers are really happy. When i pressed on what exactly they were happy if she sounded dumbfounded and told me to come in for a consultation with the Dr for $125. What I learnt from the convo was that these dr's and their clinics have no confidence in this, at least not yet, even tho this thing has been around since 2009-10 and there should be some sort of proof by now.

I feel they should be ashamed of charging us $1000 for a product they cannot even stand behind. Thats alot of money for most of us but i guess thats what the hair loss industry is, sell shit regardless of whether a product works or not

I don't put too much faith in PRP... I have seen a couple pictures that looked good.... resembled pictures of rogaine results.. but I've read forum reviews that said it was worthless
