    I got Corticosteroid injections by my dermatologist for my Alopecia Areata, I have to take the injections every 3-6 weeks. I got my first injections last week, i'm going back in about 2 weeks. So far so good. The bald spots affected by AA are filling up nice.

    But anyways, I think that's how PRP injections are, only that it take several months for you to go back. And of course they are expensive and medical insurance does not cover them. The Corticosteroid injections are covered.
    Glad that your bald spots are filling in nicely. Since corticosteroids work well for people with Alopecia Areata, I've always wondered why they aren't tried on people with male pattern baldness. Here is an article that mentions the role that "harmless" steroids could have to stimulate hair regrowth. http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases...0503161344.htm
