    Default PRP Questions - Need Advice

    Going in for a consultation on PRP, for my receded hairline. My hairline is better
    than Phil Collins, when he was in his twenties. But not by much.


    Has anybody had success?


    Would like to hear successful stories.


    The injections are only 500.00 per session.


    But I'm afraid of making my hair worse. Right now I have a Norwood 3/4 hairline.


    Have been balding for over twenty years.


    Should I just not bother with PRP? Progesterone is growing my hair back, but at
    a very slow rate.

    Just so people know.


    I've been struggling with a receding hairline since I was 19. It's been an ongoing
    battle for me.


    My vertex hair has grown in and is much thicker. That is because I use topical Progesterone mixed with Minoxidil and Finasteride.


    There are only sparse terminal hairs that have grown back. Most is hair that I lost in the last few years.


    My hair was at it's worst in 2013. At that time I was a Norwood 4++. I had a much
    worse hairline, and my vertex had a bald spot a few centimeters/inches wide.


    2013 was the year I started Finasteride. Before that I only used Minoxidil.

    Still debating if I should do this or not.


    Got a doctor's opinion on youtube. Basically if the hair isn't dead, it will work.


    Otherwise it is better to get a hair transplant. I can copy it here if anybody is interested.
