HAIR TRANSPLANT FORUM

If you're following recent research, there's a lot of of buzz about PRP. I've read that several ht docs are interested in it and testing already. Here's hoping.

Do you have any links iostream? I haven't heard of this.

It's using platent rich plasma(taken from your blood) and injecting on the scalp to induce hair growth. I think a Dr. Greco introduced the idea in hair loss and several doctors are using/testing. I don't know if I can post the hair sites that are discussing it. Google and you can find info.

Thats not an intuitive idea for a therapy, is is just simple 'extra blood supply = extra hair growth' ;you would think the tissue damage (like the bruise you get from an injection) would be greater than the benefits of extra blood- I will google and find out! thanks again

Sorry, it's Platelet, not platent haha. Late night spelling error

Apparently it's a new idea being used in other areas of medicine for treatment.
