Does Platelet Rich Plasma grow hair back?

[Johan11]

I'm looking into alternative safer treatments to regrow my hair, one that seems to come up quite often is PRP (Platlet Rich Plasma) The results look promising from what I've viewed online, however I'd like to hear from someone who has had success with PRP treatments.

It appears to work in reversing miniaturiztion of the hair follicle like Rogaine and Propecia without the risk of side effects.

Are there any clinics people recomend for PRP?

I have seen decent results online where patients have received good growth from PRP. Like all meds, it won't work for everyone. Try contacting Dr Carlos Wesley's office as they use it and have lots of educational info.

Thanks. His website is full of good information.

For several years I was a big sceptic, even having gone so far as calling it "kitchen sink science" at one point but as an independent educator I've been able to learn more about the process and decided to go through with a procedure myself. It's been two months and I am of the opinion that I have a positive result already as the fringe of my crown appears to be thicker.


Here is a video of me getting PRP with Dr. Cooley.

Now the question is, do the improvements show up on camera? I have no idea but I'll document shortly what I'm experiencing so far but from what Dr. Cooley tells me I've got several more months of potential improvements to look forward to.

Cool video. How many PRP treatments do you need in a 12 month period?
