I really don't know what to think, I'm sure the doctors using PRP will have reasons as to why it's supposedly fine but I really don't know who to believe anymore. I saw an independant article about PRP and it's definately full of TGF-B1 and if you google that in regards to hair loss they call it the hair follicle assasin and show studies that were done to try and inhibit it to help stop hair loss. I can't believe hair restoration doctors would've bushed over this but who knows if they're just in it for the money.
I wanted to believe in the promise of this but now I really don't think I can risk it. When I think about it more there's a lot of excitement about Acell but to be honest there's not much interest in PRP from the big doctors, they say it's because it's not proven but maybe it's also because they're aware of these factors.
Why can't someone just do an F**KING clinical trial and prove things for sure, Greco's been using PRP for over 3 years, if he hada started a proper trial back then we would have contrete answers by now!
I guess I'm just gonna have to keep using Propecia and Minox, hold they hold out until Histogen or something comes out, at least we can trust in these products that are taking so long to come to market because they're being properly trialled for actual hair loss.
Any feed back would be appreciated, I'm a bit ****ed up about this because as I said I just don't know what to believe, it could just be forum scare mongering but then there does also seem to be truth behind it.
Dude even i was goin to get prp/acell done to ma scalp but after i read it contains buckets full of Testosterone and DHT i was shocked and i don't want to experiment such a thing on my hair loss as it can make it worsen my hair. I am now NW1 and i am losing my hair very fast. i am just trying to save what i have and for that i can even spent $$$$'s money doesnt matters, hair comes first for me.

UK Boy, I haven't seen many people praising PRP treatment on this site. I myself have flown to Florida and had a go with Greco's PRP Protein Matrix mix and can say that it did absolutely nothing. No regrowth, no apparent thickening, my hair actually appeared to accelerate in what I was losing, but I'm NOT saying that it was due to the PRP. It could have been that I was a point in my hair loss where it was starting to become noticable more and more with the same amount of hair loss. I'm curious if Hitzig is performing this in the states? I'd hate to hop the pond only to find out that he's already doing this here.

What about Latisse? You going to try that?

Hitzig is gonna be in London at the Private Clinic this Friday and Saturday to teach Dr. Reddy the procedure. After this weekend the Private Clinic will be offering appointments for the treatment every 8 weeks or so, not all the time. So it'll be Hitzig's procedure but not him doing it.

Decided to wait
I've decided to wait before trying PRP + Acell, I was really keen on it but £1000 is a lot for something that's not been proven through trials. There's been no major hype over it being to new best thing so I think it's best to wait til it is or until better stuff comes along.

Will this work on thinning hair in the early stages of MPB, and is there any evidence of this helping thicken up hair on peoples heads.
