For those interested in the current state of platelet rich plasma (PRP)scalp treatment for hair loss…

The Dermatology Department of The State University of New York Health Science Center at Brooklyn (SUNY Downstate Medical Center) recently featured Carlos K. Wesley, M.D. as their Grand Rounds lecturer. In addition to providing a general overview of the mechanism of the PRP treatment and how it stimulates hair growth, Dr. Wesley lectured to dermatology residents and seasoned attending physicians about the technical variables of the procedure itself that can optimize the benefit to patients.

An abridged version of the lecture can be viewed here. The full-length presentation for physicians is found on Dr. Wesley’s PRP page. While PRP may not work for every patient, the benefit our practice is seeing from this non-surgical approach to treating hair loss has been encouraging.

Curious if you have an opinion on clinics which are adding fat stem cell treatments on top of PRP. I can't find any studies/evidence that these treatments work but seems everyone is offering them now.
