Dr. Carlos K. Wesley: No Surgery. No Pills.

This patient can be seen before and a few months after only: 1) a single treatment of platelet-rich plasma PRP and 2) daily use of our topical hair growth blend.


This 32-year-old man did not have good luck with Propecia or Minoxidil. After experiencing profound unwanted side effects with the Propecia pill and then marked shedding after use of topical minoxidil (Rogaine) for months, he stopped taking both medications and came to our office for help.


Although he was a candidate for either follicular unit extraction FUE or follicular unit transplantation FUT, he opted for a more conservative approach to hair restoration. In addition to a PRP session, he used our topical hair growth blend (with finasteride as an active ingredient) daily. He was relieved to not experience any side effects while using the topical formula and was thrilled with the progress of his hair growth.


We will continue to post more results with this conservative therapy on our Results Gallery

Great result with the PRP and topical hair growth solution. Do you have more info on the topical?

That's amazing! Do you think the reason the guy got such good results was mainly down to the PRP or the topical....or is it simply the combination of both?, whatever the reason hes got to be happy with that.
Does the topical help with regrowth or is it more for maintaining what he has?
Sorry for all the questions in just intrigued by this topical solution.....well done

In order to provide our patients with an objective measure of their hair improvement after a PRP sessions, I like to find a landmark (e.g. freckle) on their scalp so that they can see the hair-by-hair change. Here is a magnified image of this patient before and a few months after initiation of PRP therapy.
We have been encouraged to see an increasing number of patients benefit from the combination of PRP with our topical hair growth blend (finasteride and minoxidil are active ingredients) rather than PRP alone. Probably the most important aspect, however, is a thorough examination of patients' hair characteristics prior to treatment. Those who tend to benefit most are patients with a high percentage of miniaturized hair follicles.
