Scroll down and watch the video.

1) it costs 800.
2) it lasts up to one year
3) its for thinners only, advanced norwoods can go to hell
4) all photographs and evidence seems to be obviously doctored (pre photo is with flash, after photo without, the same on the damn video, even the angle is different so it doesnt expose the balding so much!)
5) the two mpb results look like what propecia would do for you today, it doesnt look any better
6) the only bald to hair evidence is a photograph of alopecia areata suferrer. Alopecia areata is a condition that often completely resolves itself on its own. no PRP necessary
7) The guy on the video had probably HT done. Look up the video from the last year. The doctor says he's using PRP to accompany his HT procedures to optimise results. The video afai remenber featured the same bloke.
8) Its not new news, its been discussed here a year ago already!

lightning and hair comb tricks...

Moving on

-------------------------
First transplant with karamikian 6/05, less than 1000 to my hairline, result was mediocre at best.
2nd HT, this time with DR Feller 2/08, 3000+ to my front third.
Came out well, however due to thin hair characteristics, I need more for a fuller look.

3rd HT with Dr Feller 9/09. Roughly 1000 into my crown, and roughly 1500 into the thin front 1/3 portions as well as the hair behind the 2nd HT that receded.

Bogus.


-------------------------
F@(K it! No treatments. Nothing. Im done wasting money.
Dr. Thomas (scum) Wentland-1800 hairs, destroyed my life.
Dr. Ron Shapiro- 176 FUE into scar. Happy with results.
Buzzing my head no guard, happy except for the marks left from scumland, i mean Dr. wentland.

The only thing bogus is ya'lls attitude. Did you see the original photos of several subjects like I did today? Do you have a copy of the paper he published where the grey-looking after photo of the 26-year-old actually has a believable hair color and also did you guys see the originals on his computer of the gentleman in question?

I'm getting the procedure done next week and I guess we'll find out in short time what the deal is. In the meantime, how about you guys chill out for a second and stop labeling everything a scam?

Check the bottom video. Reporter, client and doctor all seem to think there's regrowth occuring. But I suppose a bunch of nay-sayers know better...

"this patient couldn't use propecia do to his side effects" .. yeah he must have gone to harvard med.

Must be awfully boring going through life never making a mistake, huh RichLocks?

Chore boy, do you have to shave your head to have that procedure? Or do they just inject it into your existing hair. I think its great your going to try that.

Seems like it would only work temporarily if at all. I highly doubt this would work for any length of time. I love how at the end of that video the news caster clearly states "its not for someone who is completely bald." That throws up a red flag for me.

But i guess it it does give you thicker hair for a short period of time, then maybe it would be worth it for some people. Choreboy, I hope you document this and post your results on this site.

I'll dig up the PDF but there's a graph showing a decline in density somewhere between 4 and 8 months. I'm almost wondering what would happen if you did it every 4 months? Expensive, yeah... but I'm not sure there's anyone who wouldn't budget for it provided that it proved to be a viable, effacious treatment.

No you don't have to shave your head.

Greco didn't even go to med school for christ sakes. Check his website, he is physicians assistant with a phd, so he calls himself doctor. I smell scam.

Is this head even the same head? Different thinning styles and ears.

What a croc?! Anyone who falls for this BS is more desperate than I am, and Im pretty desperate at this point. I am new to this forum thing, as this is my first post. I wont get into details about my situation as of now, for Im sure you all have heard and experienced the same thing over and over, but this Greco crap is about as real as the troll that lives under my bed. The website is as generic as they come, the pics look like they are from 1976, and the doc, or whatever he's pretending to be looks like a chode. They spent more time and effort slapping up pics of cells and all this scientific looking horse sheeat just to give the illusion that they are legit and know what they are talkin about. But hey, to each his (or her) own. It's your money, spend it how you want, but I know that Fako or Greco, whatever, he'll never see a damn cent from me.

Are all those before and after photo's fakes then ???????

Good luck choreboy, hope it goes well for you dude

Before and After Photo's wud be nice too !!!

Yeah it's a scam.... the guy was awarded a 2007 research grant from the ISHRS to study the "Effects of Platelet Rich Plasma and Various Growth Factors on Non-Transplanted Miniaturized Hair".

Read what debris wrote, he's an expert on the subject apparently.

Hey Guys,

What's getting me excited about this is that Dr. Feller replied to my post (on another website) with very positive things to say. He said that he is going to be offering this technique to patients before the end of the summer. From what I gather, he is a well respected hair transplant doctor. He is an IAHRS member....This is Dr. Fellar's reply


-----------------Start-----------------------------------------------
PRP is not new, but it's application to hairloss is as far as I know.

I read about PRP for wound healing a few years ago when it was brought to my attention by a dentist who came to me for a transplant. I read the papers and the theories, and you know what...I think it really works.

Just recently there was an article in our HT trade journal "The Forum" and PRP applied hairloss was discussed. This rekindled my interest in the field.

I will be offering this simple technique to patients before the end of the summer. My protocol will be one treatement every 6 months.

It is safe, relatively inexpensive, and probably the best medical treatment for hairloss since propecia. I actually believe in this and will be committing time and effort to it.
----------------End-----------------------------------------------------

I think I heard from one of the videos about Dr. Greco's work that he charges $800.00 dollars for this.

I called Dr. Greco's office last week and spoke with his head nurse to find out more about this procedure. She stated that Dr. Greco has been absolutely swamped lately with phone calls from people who are reading about his work from these boards. She said to take pictures of my hair when it is wet (since its easier to see a person's hairloss pattern when their hair is wet) and to submit them to Dr. Greco via his website. She assured me he would take a look at my photoes to determinee whether or not I was a good candidate for this procedure. I hate to get my hopes up, but when a well respected IAHRS surgeon views this is a positive thing and states that this technique is "probably the best medical treatment for hairloss since propecia", and "I actually believe in this and will be committing time and effort to it.", one can only get excited.

FYI...I'm new to the forums. I'm an extremely satisfied patient of Dr. Hasson.

-------------------------
Total of 5310 grafts transplanted by Dr. Hasson to address the top part (NW5 area) of my head. Results are absolutely amazing.

Avodart 0.5 MG 3-4 times a week for the last 4.5 years. It completely halted my hairloss.

Minox, Fin, Dut, and RU all have produced some amazing before/after shots. None of them has flattened MPB as we know it.






If this PRP plasma stuff works by reversing the actual androgen-related damage to the follicles, we're looking at something huge.

If it's just another method of stimulating growth (aside from the MPB/andrgoen issue) then it's a once-a-year method of getting some minox benefits at best.




The gigantic issue is the repeatability. We'd need to be able to compound the gains for this to be a serious attack on the whole MPB issue.

Does two sessions cause a net improvement in the condition over one session? As in, the second session does NOT just prolong the effects of the first one, but results in a stronger improvement than just one session?

How does is this any differences from HT?
