Thats what I thought... Just terrible!!! IMO PRP should be banned and the criminals who offer PRP should be thrown into jail!!! Seriously, not only is PRP a scam, it can make things even worse. Holy cow!!! So scary. For a brief moment, I've seriously considered to try out PRP as my last option to save my hair...
And seriously, there seems to be no one single person with positive PRP result in this forum. Wow, just wow! Screw PRP! You want my money? I don't think so!

Where is Joe Tillman? :-) I believe, he recently received PRP treatment. Would like to know what his opinions are regarding his PRP result...

Thank you for your reply. Actually there are now a handful of published studies, which show some positive effects of PRP treatment... But I don't understand, why PRP is not being investigated scientifically once and for all to show with certainty if it is effective or not. PRP has been out for some time now, it has been years actually, why are we still saying we don't know for sure... If it is definitive a scam, then it should be banned completely and nobody should be allowed to offer PRP... so frustrating....

Well I just had it done. PRP with Acell. Hair is thinning but no baldness. Have baseline pictures so we will see. The clinical trial data, while small and not without criticism, is overwhelmingly positive

PRP Therapy is not a bad option. As you all know, that all medical results may vary person to person. If you think Fin, Minox, Ket is very effective, then you can check on the forums. There are many people who used these medicine and not got any satisfaction. That's why many experts said the hair transplant is the permanent solution.

I had 2 PRP treatments 6 months apart about 2 years ago. Complete waste of money. Had a HUGE shed, grew back some peach fuzz. Nothing even close to being cosmetically beneficial. Overall, I lost terminal hairs and grew some peach fuzz.

Were the terminal hairs lost around the injection sites? The reason I'm asking is because I am actually considering it.
Now I'm not so sure.

You should check this thread out about PRP from people who've actually had the procedure. First hand accounts of what PRP does.

Before you do it ask for at least 10 before and after pictures and see what they say. I bet they can't come up with more than 1. I would also meet with some of the people that had results.
