I got an email from greco about a new protocol. Restore-it. Anyone know anything about this?
It's in his blog on his website.

The doctor that might do mine costs 500.00.
It would be nice to see pictures. That keeps this objective.
Also pictures are much better than words, before and after.
Please keep in mind, if the PRP doesn't work, that's not a personal
failure on our part. Everybody is different. But it could effect the outcome
for someone just learning about this. This isn't new to me, but I'm currently
on the fence.
I always try to show lots of pictures in my posts. And if people disagree
with my topical solution, it's not a reflection of who I am. They're
entitled to their own opinion, and to disagree. (See my Progesterone
thread).

Anyone have any more PRP experiences to share or advice on a legit doc to go to? I'm considering it, but getting cold feet.
I called around and am hearing positive things, but doesn't seem to be much to back up the claims. Greco's office says 85% of patients see improvement, Wesley said 88%, Cole's office said 100%. If these numbers are real why aren't there studies and data to back them up and why aren't more people taking about their successes on forums like this. Was thinking Greco was the guy to go to but found out his 85% is based on comparing before and after photos- which to me seems super subjective. If you did the number of treatments Greco claims (4,000) why wouldn't have a more objective way to measure and document results. Greco also claimed no one was worse off, but from the forums some patients did think they were worse from the treatment
FearTheLoss: I'm also curious what your final assessment of PRP was and particularly of Greco.
Anyway if anyone has tried PRP or consulted with these or other docs I'd like to hear what you thought and in general what folks think about these high claims of improvement.

What (if any) of some of the negative side effects of PRP?
-
At this point it's been well established that the only thing PRP improves is the Doctors bank account. Ask the doctors that say their patients have imporovement to send you photos of the improvement. I've heard more people losing hair than gaining from PRP but if you all want to throw away some money I'm sure the docs take it.

That's a good question. Because I'm hearing mixed things. One doctor told me that unless there
was a lot of terminal hair, it wouldn't do anything.
It's relatively cheap for me. But I'm not sure if it's worth it. Sessions for me would cost between $500.00 (United States
dollars).
On the other hand, I don't want my scalp to get worse. I don't mind not having any effects. I do mind it getting
worse after trying this.
For now, I'm only able to hold on and regrow my hair, but only at a slow pace.

Ditto- on not wanting PRP to make things worse. Not sure how common shedding is as a side effect after PRP and if the hair that is shed is always regained? Docs seem to claim shedding is not that common after PRP, but there seem to be a number of accounts of increased shedding.

Your baldness wasn't aggressive, I take it. What Norwood were you at. Or are you trying to go down to a Norwood one?
Thought the regrowth density wasn't always that good, depending on how diffuse/many terminal hairs were already there before the transplant. Is that not the case?
I'm just holding on to my norwood 2 status. Like i said the PRP is keeping me from a fast slip to 3, also few gray hairs. Personally I'm looking to just avoid a quick drop off the edge. It is hard to out run the aging process.

I had a PRP with Cole and experienced a bit of shed. Switched to Dr. Greco, have not had any shed for more than 3 years. His procedure for breaking down the blood removes the pro-antiinflammatory cytokines, which i think causes soreness and shedding.
