Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy | Dr. Joseph Greco Ph.D. Answers Your Questions

[gillenator]

Dr. Greco,

Incredible results for treating injuries. Thank you for your research in PRP therapy and sharing it with the hairloss community. And what a pleasant surprise to see that you are treating Dr. Cooley for a tennis elbow injury. I have a similiar situation in my left shoulder as I injured it last September. Very slow to heal, it's the tendons and/or ligaments that I injured. Chronic pain and now more a nerve sensation down the arm.

Back to hairloss and PRP therapy.

1) Since MPB is a genetic disposition and not an injury, how can PRP reverse "the progression" aspect of the disease?

2) Does PRP reduce the production levels of DHT?

3) Does PRP enhance the hair follicle's resistance to DHT?

4) And just to confirm, this therapy would be ongoing for a lifetime since the disorder is progressive over a lifetime?

5) How many partcipants are in your ongoing study and any distinctions that we need to be aware of? How many females are in the trial group?

6) Will you be treating other forms of alopecia with PRP?

7) How frequent will you be releasing your clinical findings for treating MPB and where will you be publishing them?

8) Just out of curiosity, do you have MPB or does it exist in your family history? And if so, do you plan on doing PRP therapy yourself or possibly are already doing it?

9) How practical is it for this therapy to get into HT practices and clinics?

10) Here's my biggie question. Does your theory suggest that if the young men who are diagnosed with MPB early, and they get on PRP therapy, that they may never need surgical hair restoration?
