    So in other words, after your hair falls out again, you're screwed. You have to keep getting Histogen injected into your scalp.

    Sadly in my lifetime I don't see a 'cure' (I'm 59) I remember back during my big-hair band days (late 70's-80's) we thought for SURE a cure would be available by the time I was lets say 40.
    Back then it was some BS Topical in a little eye dropper bottle called Bio Genisis that sold for $27.00 and was an absolute scam. It was in the magazine called "Head Start" and heavily promoted for $$$. There was also (in a Jar) a clear Gel called Biotin-also useless and then there were Pills and shampoos etc also heavily promoted in that Magazine. The entire magazine went belly-up when the Law suites started being filed for making false statements, Lab results etc.
    While 'some' progress has been made unfortunately (and because of diabolical marketing bs) endless males and females are dishing out countless $$$ and grabbing at hopes and whatever they can.

    I think PRP should be standard for all hair surgeries.

    Yes it does, but injected blood is "upgraded"

    Yes, PRP therapy has definitely been gaining more attention lately. I've heard of it being used for a variety of purposes, including hair restoration. While I don't have personal experience with PRP therapy, I've read that it involves using your own blood, which is then processed to concentrate the platelets before being injected into the treatment area.

    I think it would be more appropriate for you to do your own research on the subject https://onsitemedspa.com. As with any medical treatment, it's important to do your research and consult with a qualified professional to determine if it's the right option for you.
