Thanks for the response. What was the amount you were quoted for the ACell? For me it seems like PRP/ACell is significantly less expensive than a transplant (although like you said it does not last as long). So from your experience one yearly maintenance treatment for PRP or ACell is likely not...

They just say the same thing they said with regular PRP. It works for some and not for others and the only way to know is by doing it. But they say there is no question that PRP with ACell is stronger than regular PRP so if regular PRP didn't work then I might as well try this.

No one at all?

All, After having negative reactions from Minoxodil and Finasteride, I decided to try PRP treatment, where I received 3 sessions spaced 2 months apart over the course of 6 months. Now that I am about 6 months after my third and final session, I can say that I have not seen any positive results...

I live in Manhattan, so I would prefer a doctor in the city. I think I am more likely suitable for PRP than I am a transplant, but was wondering if anyone has had any success or would recommend a doctor in NYC? Thank you!

Has anyone had any success with PRP just maintaining the hair they currently have?

I recently moved to Manhattan, and am looking for a quality, trustworthy, and hopefully not overly expensive PRP treatment provider. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thank you.

So it sounds like the side effects are pretty bad for most and don't go away for most, but some think that living with them are worth it? Personally, if those that I mentioned were the side effects I had to deal with every day for the rest of my life I would say I would rather be bald. The...

I was prescribed 1mg of Finasteride, and used a pill cutter to make it into .25mg tablets, and within a few hours of taking .25mgs (and for the rest of the day), my side effects included the below. I know these are common, but has anyone had any success staying on the Finasteride and waiting...

Right now I am prescribed 1mg of finasteride. Have people been prescribed it in smaller dosages, or should I just get a pill cutter and cut them in fourths? And has anyone seen any positive results from a laser comb?

That seems to be what everyone says, but there are also a lot of plastic surgeons that say it does work. Has anyone had success or known someone to have success with it?

Thanks for the replies. What makes you think PRP is a huge waste of money? I am fairly certain that finasteride give me bad side effect. Do people that do not cope well with finasteride usually do better on dutasteride?

Hi, I am 29 years old, and have experienced noticeable hair loss for about 2 years now. I have been using a HairMax laser comb for about the last year (and have seen 0 results), and have been using Argan Oil Shampoo by Maple Holistics for about the last year (and have also seen 0 results). I...
