AAPE Trials - I'll be experimenting with it

It's not like he's a fraud or anything. He does legit PRP, and apparently adds Vitamin D and a few other things to it. However, he charges an exorbitant amount - $5000. I suspect some of the patients who had good results (based on before after pics he shows) may have started taking the Big 3 at the same time.

Do you have an understanding of PRP? How in the world can someone charge $5,000. Studies show that PRP works, if at all, with repeated use every 3-4 weeks for around 5-6 sessions. I know you must be feeling desperate, but why don't you just go to a PRP doctor who charges more around $600-$900 (I can't name my doctor, but there are a few others in NY - Dr. Jeffrey Rapaport (10 mins away from NY in NJ - I've been to him once but don't think he does the most efficient PRP and barely spends any time on you, i.e. activating PRP, dermarolling after, etc)), Dr. Halland Chan (on park ave, with good reviews and I've had a friend who went to him and was really happy). Get treated 5-6 times by these guys. One session of PRP isn't going to do anything. Even some doctors I spoke to aroudn here mentioned Amiya Prasad and his tactics - how he tries to get away with charging exorbitant prices, and has a couple of different websites + pays for google adveritisng to have his sites at the top when you search PRP manhattan, etc.

Thanks for the info, yes ive researched the prp treatment, its just that the treatment offered by this doctor specifically offers that it is a standalone treatment with a duration of 5 years or more(he says 5 years because he has only administered the treatment for that time but says it could last longer), he claims big success with it, if that is true id be willing to go for the treatment, anyway I know he could just be lying.

Ok, I'm offering a PRP that lasts for 10 years for $2500. Want to come to my clinic? Lol...

hahaha, well guess the problem is that big part of the tratments against hairloss are based on anecdotal results, thanks anyway

NoFinToWin: I have a few questions about ordering, but the forum does not allow me to send you a PM. Can I send U an email?

[nofintowin]

Just ask them here, I'm sure it'll help others with ordering

Damn, if I were to get this I don't know which doctor I can contact that will administer this to me.
Also one thing to note, the study that was linked showed it could give some regrowth but over a longer period of time. Basically a patient in the study showed some cosmetically significant regrowth well after two years of AAPE being administered to him.
So you guys will have to play the long game.

Sogeking, you don't necessarily need to apply it with injections. Microneedling at a depth of like 1.5 mm will do too. Microneedling disrupts the stratum corneum and can deliver big molecules easily across the skin that way.

In fact they do this in Japan too. They can deliver AAPE-HARG either through injections, microneedling, jet-gun, or a fractional laser from what I saw.

Here is a study for instance that shows that microneedling can transport molecules up to at least 72kDa; http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17196697

Were you asked if you were a doctor? Did you have to send some kind of ID confirmation?

Thanks for that. Might go that route than. Hmm can't really tell how thick 1.5mm is when observing it from the viewpoint of skin itself. Meaning how hard would I need to use dermaroller? Also how do I know I peeled enough of skin away? And after using dermaroller I would just apply AAPE like minox right?

@swooping - have you started trialing the AAPE yet? What's your method of adminsitering it. I'm currently using injections. My doctor wants to buy a mesogun to trial this, so he's been charging me more to cover the cost of the gun, but I feel like this may not be worth the additional cost

@JHtotheT - no, they didn't ask if I was a doctor, nor did they need ID confirmation. Again, I did mention my doctors name but I don't think that mattered - like I said before, seems like they don't mind consumers having access to this.
