Anyone had success with PRP?

[35YrsAfter]

I've been getting prp treatments for four years now, with no other treatments. Prior to the prp my hair looked pretty good but under a microscope there was definitely a bit of miniaturization visible under the microscope. Four years later the top of my head looks just like my permanent zone under a microscope. My hair also feels stronger and fuller and I have virtually no shedding. I don't think it's a miracle treatment and certainly not a "cure," but overall I am a believer.

This is why I think hair loss researchers need to step back from their microscopes and have a long hard look at the big picture. I believe that PGD2 saturated miniaturizing follicles are being somehow starved of blood platelet growth factors. You give the follicles platelet rich plasma and the miniaturizing hairs increase in diameter.

If researchers can find a way to prevent PGD2 from saturating susceptible follicles, it would be interesting to see if hair in the "loss zone" improves.

Many different approaches toward finding a solution.
