PRP Journey Honest and open experience UK
Hello all
Ive been posting for the last few years on the thread below, originally to document my end to end FUT journey, as we had so little real-life stories in the UK. You’ll see its a very open and honest.
https://www.baldtruthtalk.com/thread...d=1#post284167
The FUT was circa 6 years back now, but i have thinning of the crown and also thinning around my hairline, additionally as I’ve got older I’m actually conscious of the FUT scar.
So I’ve decided to look into PRP treatment - first session is booked in on 12 April in Grantham near Nottingham UK.
Images are:
Image 1 Pre FUT circa 6 years back
Image 2, 3,4 taken today and are of my FUT scar, crown and hairline thinning.
Image 5 taken today after hair is styled (standard wax only, no thickeners/sprays/fibres etc).
As mentioned in my other thread, i also do the following:
1, finasteride 1 mg Daily
2, Kirklands Minoxidil twice daily
I’ll post updates straight after the first PRP treatment on the 12th April, and each stage throughout. I’m booked for a monthly session over the next 3-4 months.

Hello. Did you donate blood for hormone level diagnostics before going to the surgeon's consultation? As I heard, hormonal diagnostics and ultrasound are very important procedures before hair transplantation. It is important to understand why hair loss occurs.

Hi there
Don’t forget my actual transplant was 6 years ago :-). See my other thread. But in answer to your question it’s standard MPB, with no underlying concerns.
This thread is to document start to finish the PRP journey, so I’ve had the pre consultation and no concerns have been raised re my suitability for PRP. Next stage is the actual process.
I think this is one of the main problems re Finn/Minoxidil/transplants/lasers/PRP etc. Not many people actually maintains a post with genuine updates... so we’re left to join the dots with guess work.
My first PRP - blood taken and then the plasma injected will be on the 12thApril - my intentions are to post images straight afterwards, so others can see what’s involved. I can then post updates after this and after the next course.
Hope that helps clarify the thread purpose :-)

Got it. Your thread didn't finish reading something yesterday. Distracted and that's why I asked this question. I need to be more careful. It's just that there are so many junk topics with spam that I was even confused.

Okay, lockdown relaxation permitting... I’m booked in for my first PRP on Monday.
I’ll keep you all posted, but does anyone have any questions, before Monday?
