    Default Wounding the scalp + Platelet Rich Plasma grows hair

    I don't want to get my hopes up, but this looks very exciting. Check out the ABC video.




    Thoughs? Comments?

    It certainly is exciting. I like the immediate regrowth and that there is no need for incision -- but I have serious concerns about the need to go back every year -- is it just one hair cycle of growth and then it's gone? I'm also skeptical that Dr. Greco is not an IAHRS surgeon. I don't know the man, and he may be making a huge breakthough, but why wouldn't he have been recognized by the IAHRS if he's been around a long time and is good at what he does (not to mention being sort of a pioneer)?

    Thanks for the link though! I'm definitely interested in hearing an informed response from Spencer or one of the other hair gurus on this site.

    Best,
    Michael

    Hmmmm ... interesting. This may sound very weird, but the first thing I noticed when I watched the video is that the doctor in it (Doctor Greco) does not appear to me an MD or a DO. It seems he has a PhD. I have never heard of a PhD doing any sort of "surgery" on a human before. Maybe I am wrong, but that's what I noticed almost immediately.

    This does sound exciting, if anything, doesn't this show that we are on the right path? I wonder if any IAHRS would be willing to experiment with this. It's kind of a bummer that we have to wait around for the studies to be done, but has anyone even started doing the studies now (through the FDA)? If not, then why? I feel like we could be losing precious time, but thats my opinion.

    This looks VERY exciting. Since we're not talking about having to push a drug through the FDA, I’m assuming that doctors who are willing to offer this technique can begin offering it at any time. I’m a right about this?
