My PRP experience so far

[k9gatton]

What (if any) of some of the negative side effects of PRP?

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.

You're in your fifties, and only a Norwood 2?? This was after treatment, I take it? That's actually a good place to be.


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.

will take some over the weekend and post

I got PRP about a month ago. Initially, I noticed a decrease in shedding. I thought it had stopped my hair loss or slowed it down drastically. Now, a little over 4 weeks after my treatment, I am shredding like crazy and losing hair really fast. I am hoping this is just because I'm going to get good regrowth rather than it isn't working at all and I'm just heading over the cliff here.

I will keep you guys updated.

Thanks for the update. Are you getting a second session in the next few months before the one-year mark? Congratulations on the positive outcome.

Do you have any before and after pictures? I would really like to see them.

I'm debating to do it. Not sure if my follicles are too dead to get revived or not.

I am a diffuse dinner as well. Do you have any before and after pictures?

I have been passing through hair loss for some time now, and ever since i have not been comfortable with myself. i started using face cap to cover it up because i was so ashamed of myself. Late last year i was introduced to some manufacturers from Africa and i contacted them and discuss about my hair loss problem,and i was told to pay some little amount of money which i was finding it difficult to pay at first but with faith and my condition i paid the money, after which they posted the remedy to me and i received it and followed the instruction.Wow i can't remember the last time i feel happy this way, am relief from my predicament. This is the manufacturers email, docarikuherbalhealingcenter@gmail.com.

are they injecting the colostrum? Or are you taking it orally?

[k9gatton]

is there any professional documentation done by dr. greco?
PRP has always been very controversial. there are some studies and positive signs that it could work to some extent here and there, but nothing to really get excited about.

if dr. greco was able to improve the whole PRP process, then is he able to provide some good proof with professional documentation from real patients?

He's actually very cheap. He practices very close to me. I might actually use him some day.

I have appt with Prasad soon to do the PRP. He seems knowledgeable, but I'm still skeptical...it sounds too good. He did give me 2 referrals which were legitimate and positive results. DOES ANYONE HAVE RESULTS AFTER 6-9 MONTHS? PRASAD CLAIMS YOU NEED TO GIVE THIS AT LEAST 7-9 MONTHS TO SHOW RESULTS. He gave me a whole scientific reasoning about why it takes this much time to see any results.

Alright mate, any update on this?

ive been trying to get through to them to get a price for treatment, the results look amazing!

Unfortunately im in the UK so bit of a mission!

[nk1990]

How much did it cost and hows it going for you?

FTL I have a private question for you how can I get ahold of you?
