Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy
This treatment recently seems to be getting a lot of media/news coverage, at least on my local news stations.
It's being touted as the "cure for MPB"
EDIT > > > Local news is doing another segment on it now!
-
And another segment last night...what I don't understand > > > if DHT found in our blood is what causes MPB then how would injecting the blood/plasma under the scalp do anything, doesn't the plasma STILL contain the same DHT causing the problem in the first place???
-
I guess it is another money making tool for doctors that's why it is getting lot of attention.
-
Thing is, they're calming it as "a cure"!
-
I think it's worth, PRP Therapy has been widely used since the 1990’s to aid in patient recovery after surgery. This emerging biotechnology continues to expand its reach in other areas of medicine, notably in orthopedics, rehabilitative and restorative medicine.
-
Here's what I don't understand and maybe I'm not getting it but > > > if DHT is in your blood and the primary cause of MPB how would injecting the PRP into the scalp do anything, is the DHT no longer present?
-
Yes it does, but injected blood is "upgraded"
-
I think PRP should be standard for all hair surgeries.
