I lost count, but if I were to believe these papers I will be getting a prp soon:

Are you a diffuse thinner or a receder, Mach?
Actually, my Doctor himself said that in most cases around 8 weeks post injection you can witness first, albeit very weak, terminal hairs.benjt and Mach...there's something I don't get in what both of you are saying. The papers I'm reading are talking about treatment sessions where the break between a session is 4-6 weeks where the total is 3-5 sessions in one treatment. So how come you both wait that long and expect to see it work?
No, you have to continue treatment at one session per year for maintenance apparently.Btw...do the treatments have to carry on forever or is it just for 3-5 sessions and then it should be good. The results you get stays and you don't need to do anything. Also...what do you do with the drugs you are taking? Keep taking it or drop it?
Benjt, Dr Greco is now doing CRP? Have you read anyone who had this done on forums?
I don't know any Dr. Greco. At a first glance, CRP seems just like a marketing name for another PRP protocol, much like ACell (IIRC it was also just a PRP protocol). But no, I have not read anything by users on that.
Yep, sorry, thanks for correcting me. Mixed up with A-PRP.Wait what? I think you are a little bit wrong there. ACell as I've read it is from the bladder of a pig and not your own body. Calling it a PRP protocol is a bit...well you know.
The amount of blood taken is actually quite low. For the approx. 16 injections I will take, they take around 0.2 to 0.3 L of blood, but closer to 0.2 L apparently.I found out that in Denmark where I live, there's also a clinic that does PRP. The price is about 536,06€ first time and then 469,05€ the next times. They have about 3 injections/sessions in a threatment with 1-3 months of break inbetween for maximum effect so 4-12 weeks of interval. I guess your doctor went with 2 months to go with the middle and not take too much blood from your body.
I did read a lot of research papers before and, unlike the case of many other treatments, they all came to positive conclusions. The big questions are:Thanks for the details. It's awesome that we still got people who actually do describe in details what they are going to do and what's happening. I pray it works...I'm thinking of trying it out too.
