I do believe that the PRP works. Two years after stopping all hair loss meds cold turkey, I still have a full, thick head of hair, minus a little bit of thinning in my hairline. Further, I recently had a hair loss map done using macrophotography, and there was very little miniaturization on my scalp. Every time I get these treatments, it definitely improves the quality and thickness of my hair for several months. Dr. Greco is also less expensive. I think he charges about $800 for new patients.
yeah right... what's the exact science behind his treatment? Why exactly do the follicles become DHT resistant?

There is science behind it. Go read it on his site if you're interested. Anyway, I am telling you that it has undoubtedly helped me and I am not taking any drugs at all.

If I did have photos I would not share them with strangers on the internet. I was on fin and minoxidil before I had PRP and so there was no detectable hair loss. And now, two years later, I have pretty much the same hair, minus the tiny bit of recession I mentioned. If you're implying that I am somehow incentivized to promote PRP, I can assure you that you're wrong. Go back and read my old posts if you're interested in my story. I could care less if anyone tries PRP or not. I am just sharing my experience with someone who asked.
