hair loss , the Platelet rich plasma treatment

A new treatment to treat Hair loss ? another scam ? Platelet Rich Plasma , It

is truly Effective in cover Hair Loss?

Platelet Rich Plasma is a new protocol for androgenetic alopecia treatment

that use the patient's own blood like a growth factors.
This new treatment is none surgical and none invasive.
The treatment was first publicized by Dr. Greco in the state of Florida. Dr.

Greco received a award from International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery

(ISHRS ). Right now this protocol is offered to a limited scale and selected

patients.

Given all the recent interest that this new technique name it Platelet Rich

Plasma (PRP) for hair loss has generated, I feel that it’s suitable to address

this topic and state the current knowledge on this experimental procedure .

The Rumors that Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) could be the next big thing in the

war against hair loss since oral DHT Inhibition (Propecia , Avodart ) are

circulating all over the net. Thus, hundreds of hair loss sufferers seem to be

lining up at hair restoration clinics that are offering the experimental

Platelet Rich Plasma treatment for hair loss ( androgenetic alopecia ). But

what’s the science behind this experimental treatment? There is any prove

that it works ?
If you take the time to visit different hair loss forums you can hear a lot of

different opinions about this new treatment , people is predisposed to fall

into two contrarily camps. On one extreme, some posters are really excited by

the preliminary results of the First PRP Treatment in New York and they

believe that Platelet Rich Plasma will solve the balding problem forever. Hair

loss suffers in this camp are usually men and women that are just starting

their research and looking to believe onto anything that promises them a

possible cure.

On the other side, the posters believe PRP is entirely useless and could never

give any significant and continuing, hair regrowth. Many in this side are

questioning the validity of claims and empty promises that the hair loss

companies have made for many , many years.


One thing keep in mind is that despite the exciting first data, Platelet Rich

Plasma it was not proven in any clinical trial and long term and the short

effects that PRP will cause on hair are not unknown. So, it’s important to

showed moderation on reaching opinions while data is still being collected.
