I am considering an ACELL/PRP procedure, and I am curious to see whether people think this is a worthwhile use of money, given that this still a relatively new treatment. I would be doing the procedure on a standalone basis, without a HT. My goals would be the following:
1. Prevent further hair loss.
2. Reduce or eliminate my sebhorrea and scalp itch, which so far hasn't responded to medications.
3. Regrow some of the hair in the thinning areas to create more density.
I am not taking any hair loss medications right now except for Nizoral 2%. I tried Finasteride for about a year, but quit do to side effects. I don't think it did much for my hair anyway. I also did minoxidil for about a year also, but again, it didn't seem to do anything, so I stopped. I am reluctant to get a HT right now, because I'm concerned about my hair loss progressing further, and I'm also concerned that if Histogen or Aderans et al ever develop viable stem cell treatments, that they might not on transplanted scalps. I would like to hear what others think of this.
