    Default Thinking about PRP

    Skip to the bottom for TLDR

    Hey guys, my name is Dolf and I'm a 26 year old male. I know there have been many posts started like this about PRP treatments to combat hair loss but there aren't any that I can see from this year. I'm hoping to get information from both people that have had treatments in the past (before this year) and from people that have had treatments that were more recent. I guess I should provide a little backstory: I began to notice hair thinning about 5 years ago at the age of 21. I didn't start doing anything about it until I was about 23-24 when I began using DHT blocking hair shampoos with little success. Last year I began using Rogaine also with little success. Shortly after, a doctor prescribed me Propecia/Finasteride but I experienced side effects after taking it for about 2 weeks which were not pleasant and at this point in my life, I am not willing go through those side effects for hair growth or maintenance. I possibly could be interested in it later on in my life knowing the effects it has on me... Fast forward to this year, I invested heavily into the iRestore system using the laser helmet, shampoo, DHT blocking pills as well as the growth serum. Currently I use Rogaine every night, hair rush pills from ultrax labs, DHT blocking shampoo and the iRestore helmet. If anything, I believe I have been able to somewhat slow down the hair loss process but still have noticeable thinning areas that I was hoping to get filled in with PRP. I have read many threads on here that were started in the past that have negative posts about PRP. But treatments are different for everyone and not all the posts were negative. Basically I would like some insight as to whether its worth it or not. I'm going in for a consultation this Friday. Anything will help thanks.

    TLDR: I'm thinking about undergoing PRP treatments to combat hair loss. I've read many posts on this forum about it and was hoping to get more insight from people that have done it in the past as well as others who have had recent treatments.
