I checked my before and after pictures and literally lost more ground than ever

No way you should use it, especially if you are paying for something that makes things probably worse as in my case

It goes like this:
Injection
Week 1-5 hair seems fuller, less Shedding
Week 8 brutal shedding
Month 3-5 Shedded hair comes back so you think PRP worked
Month 6+ Hair slowly thinning
Month 8+ You are way worse off than before

Worst decision in my life. Thank god I didnt use it on the entire head

But why PRP can have a negative impact? Did you investigate that topic?

Maybe in your case it just didn’t help, and increased hair loss was just a natural thing (that what’s happening with me, the hair los got stronger, although I didn’t do any changes to my regimen of minoxidil and finasteride)

PRP is useless, especially for Androgenetic Alopecia. Same goes for vitamine injections and laser therapies. All scams.

I have heard of PRP being useless from many sources, never heard it making things worse though.

Hair loss specialists need to go extinct from this world completely and I don’t see any reason why they wouldn’t very soon. Oh that’s right they do hair transplants but beyond that they are useless and half the time they f*ck it up anyway so.....The whole field of hair loss is basically a giant quack Doctor scam game. PRP, laser, and the avalanche of other sh*t they push is 90% garbage. They get you in the office and load you up with a bunch of treatments. Minoxidil and finasteride is usually always included in the mix. When the patient gets slight results or results, they claim it’s from the entire regimen they recommended so you keep emptying your pockets. The truth is that you just responded to one of the two or both FDA approved hair loss treatments and the rest of the junk they put you on was overpriced pretty packaged looking garbage.

Yeah, agree here. It can't make actually things worse!?
The new TREATMENT is called harvest PRP and this cost me $1100 per treatment, total scam and my hair thin out everywhere they applied it. Both shedding and thinning, don't waste your money

True. Androgenetic Alopecia is caused by androgens and not poor bloodflow lol

Plenty of beauty clinics now offering it, these places focus in on botox and skin related problems. They now offer hair PRP as another revenue maker, most have people working there that don't know sh*t about hair loss. What they do is hire some nurse to apply injections, all about making money and they need to stop allowing this.

I am sorry for your experience but really, I don't understand how PRP can make the situation worse. Anyone has a possible explanation?

Calcification, Trauma to the scalp or through the process of PRP you are also injecting concentrated DHT to your hair follicle

It is a the biggest scam as f***. I repeat: I never Lost so much ground as with PRP


Google: Realself PRP Made hair worse

Stop allowing this? If the entire hair loss communities came together, a difference could be made. I just think it’s foolish how we all complain about how are lives are ruined from hair loss but don’t protest a cure, malpractice, false advertising, and the need for new and improved treatments. I’m not saying this because of all the other protests going on at the moment. I have thought about this for a long time and way before that. H*ll we don’t even have to protest in person because there is this beautiful thing called the internet. All these companies have websites and allow you to make a review. These companies have email addresses and phone numbers etc. Whenever somebody brings this up though in this forum or other forums everyone else just laughs about how funny it would be to see a bunch of bald pissed off people protest. Well actually it would be freighting to see 50 million men and 30 million women in the United States with a population of 330 million voicing their concern for hair loss.

The Math:
80 million / 330 million * 100 = 24.24% of the United States population and thats only counting male pattern hair loss and not other forms of hair loss.
