I wish i could fly down to Florida to get my PRP. I live in India and as far as i have got the feedback from the internet, PRP here is not so effective. I am 26 years old. Suffering from hair loss from past 3 years. I wish i had the facilities which you guys have 🙁

Hey guys, I M shans from India. I was wondering if the prp treatment would help heal hair breakage. I ve undertaken many chemical treatments n have used hair iron continuously for months which eventually is causing breakage of my hair. So do you think prp can help me?

Happy that the PRP is helping restore hair. Very interested in this as I have had surgery gall bladder which left me with other heath. issues and hair loss. Which I now do not have a life and avoid being with friends. Are there any medical restrictions that would prevent someone having this therapy?
My hair has been lifting off with a bulb on end and no new growth. Scalp feels sandy. Hair is limp lifeless and much thinner strands that turn white fro
Ends up to root. Then they fall out. Any info will be helpful.

Hi, i was told about this treatment a couple of days ago.. im very interested and very scared and worried at the same time… i have had a lot of hair loss in the front of my head about 10 yrs ago.. one thing i want to know is.. will the hair fall back out once treatment has been stopped? is it something you will need to do for a while.. i was told that i may need about 4 treatment but im worried about it falling out again.. great blog and so happy for you and your success!!

Hi ladies,

I’m about to try PRPT in Melbourne Australia through http://www.bioscor.com.au/prphair.html but I am hoping to ask a few questions.

1. I’ve been told I need to do 3 sessions (2-4 weeks apart) and then go back every 6 months. Each treatment is $600 US. Does this seem too frequent? Everybody else seems to think twice a year is enough!

2. They use one vial of plasma per treatment. Is this right? Have those who use it in the US had more or less?

3. Do you need to accompany the treatment with anything else? I’ve tried everything from minoxidil to the pill to iron tablets and nothing works for me, including laser. I’m reluctant to try it with anything else but I dont know if it is likely to work on its own.

4. Does it help to regenerate hair or simply stop shedding? My hair stopped seriously shedding 2 years ago but I’m left with very thin coverage. I just something that will turn those dormant hairs into slightly thicker, stronger hairs!

Any comments and tips MUCH appreciated!

Thanks! Skye from OZ

Renee – it’s mcg (micrograms). Also if you visit toppik.com, there is a laser comb for $299.00 which is much less than other hair combs that typically run between $500-$800 which Dr. Greco said works just as well.

Thanks so much for your updates Tara!! That is so encouraging. 20,ooo – 30,000 mcg or mg. Biotin is usually made in mcg. I am currently taking 8,000 mcg. I find it interesting he recommended the laser comb! I have been contemplating buying one anyway. As soon as I save up enough money..Tampa here I come =) Please keep the updates coming! Bless you.

One more thing…. while I was at Dr. Greco’s office, he told me there were two flight attendants coming in who had the therapy done before who had incredible results from this technique. In fact he mentioned I could come back later in the day to see these patients to get my own opinion and talk w/them. Unfortunatley, I couldn’t hang out or come back since a friend had given me a ride and needed to get back to work. However, it sounds like there are a alot of people who have had this done and seen great results. As I mentioned Dr. Greco’s staff were extremely friendly and knew who I was when I walked in the door which made the experience that much more easier.

Hi Everyone!
Just wanted to let you know I had the PRP therapy performed last Thursday, 2/18. Just flew back from Tampa this weekend. Based on the comments from the Admin, I’m feeling really encouraged by this technology. I must say Dr. Greco and his staff were very knowledgable and friendly – the entire process took about 1hr and was pretty painless. I would say the only painful step was the numbing of the scalp, primarily in the frontal crown where there are more nerve endings. Otherwise, I felt fine the rest of day through the following day. I made sure to leave the dried blood pallets on my scalp for 24hrs before I washed it off. He told me I could wash it sooner but since my flight didn’t leave until later in the day I figured I would just keep it on. In the meanitme, he said it wouldn’t hurt to incorporate the laser light comb, Rogaine 5% and Spiro to my treatment. He also recommended high doses of Biotin, roughly 20,000 mg the first month and following months 30,0000 mg. Right now I haven’t seen any changes (while it’s only been 4 days). However, I will keep you all posted.
