My PRP experience so far

[bananana]

I would 100% say he is a scam artist. I would NOT get it done with the doctor you linked. I promise you that is not legit.

Why do you think that?

[FearTheLoss]

No stand alone treatment could give results like that after one injection for 3 years. No ethical doctor will promise this treatment can work like that, or promise it works for everyone. If someone was having success like that it'd be all over the news.

Any updates, FTL?

[FearTheLoss]

Yeah, I've continued to lose hair. I'd have to say at this point PRP has been a failure for me.

did u tried fin????

[FearTheLoss]

Yes, I had horrific sides on fin..and still haven't recovered completely. They are very real.

I wish I could tolerate the drug.

Thanks for the update FTL. Sorry to hear PRP hasn't worked for you. Agree that fin is not to be trifled with I'm scared of it. Hope you recover fully.

[FearTheLoss]

Yeah, at this point I'm starting to doubt I ever will, but who knows. It's unfortunate without a doubt. However, I'm going to be closely watching CB results in the next year as well as setipiprant, so hopefully we will have a finasteride alternative soon enough.

I still think PRP has some merit, however, it needs to be fine-tuned.

What dosage and frequency were you taking?

[FearTheLoss]

Dosage and frequency really doesn't matter as .1mg of finasteride suppresses DHT close to the same amount as a whole mg.

I tried using 1mg daily, 1mg every other day, and 1mg every 3 days.

I tried the same frequencies with .5mg, .25mg and .1mg without success.
