Prp for balding / hair loss
Started by PMR’s chill
i cant grasp how injecting your own blood can regrow hair, but evidently there is "some" literature behind this

You want to talk about a money maker if there is a shred of promise. Wow
Hello, I am PM&R resident going into pain fellowship, thinking about basing myself at So Cal. Had few questions but your PM seemed to be blocked. Anyway I can contact you? Had few questions. Thanks.
I had the procedure done on myself - worked wonders. I will be offering it, will be undergoing a course to truly be most effective. Definitely worth it.
Where do you inject?
Scalp - many many times - can be 20+ injections. Painful but worked great.
Paging PT Barnum.
I have seen his courses. I thought about taking one, but probably will take one that is a little cheaper
Cheaper for a reason. George is the best.
What does that mean? Charging more does not mean one will get better. I am not saying he is not good - not at all. But at the end of the day paying significantly more for the same thing, is not always good.
You are not paying for the same thing. When you pay for George, you get George. No one else is George.
That is awesome. Can George give me a discount for a fellow colleague? That would make George pretty awesome in my view! 🙂
I did think from what I saw, that he works with a few other physicians no?

Tell him about the forums and drop names. He likes his Pandas, Japanese whiskey, and fine dining.
have u heard of angiogenesis? I dont promote this, but have done it for patients who ask for it. It works. I use a 30g needle and change needles every 5 injections to minimize the pain. No rbc's in the PRP. The needles blunt quickly.
Typically 3 treatments - 1 every 3 months then maintenance. I odn't do it - yet - but have done it.
What do you mean you don't do it but have done it? You mean you did one treatment but not the full 3?
Sorry that was poorly worded - I have gotten it done on myself, but don't do it to others - ie - I don't perform the procedure at this time.
Haha, tell your "friend' that yes boosters I think are necessary. I did the 3, then did a few more, I forget how many and then I did another one after I moved. They hurt quite a bit, and your scalp hurts for a while too and feels tight - especially since like mine, I don't have much fat at all in the scalp. I had lost quite a bit of hair - I would at times cry in the bathroom during residency I had lost so much hair. 🙁 I look at my hair now and it's a significant difference. I also bought one of those helmets and took spironolactone. So altogether I have significant more hair, I don't see my scalp like I used to. That was rough for me as a woman.
The procedure itself is easy - Draw blood, separate components, get the needles and syringes ready, and inject away. Some people do microdermabrasions to the scalp, my Dermatologist did not - not sure if that would make a difference. But if I were you and you were interested, I'd buy a centrifuge, learn to do it, and either do it yourself or have a friend or someone medical inject for you - it's not brain surgery.
Have they done BMAC for hair loss? It’s great that your are finding answer to a problem as old as time, but it would be nice for prolonged effects.
Don't know the answer to that. Well it's not perfect, but it is a solution that helps tremendously. But like with anything, it's not necessarily a cure but treatment that works. Good enough for me.
send me a PM =D march 9-10 tickle your fancy?
Maybe you need a hair transplant
Oh wow good times! Tricare is the military insurance right?

Yes
It does but you have to have hair - you can’t be bald and expect PRP to do miracles
Didn't work for me 😢😆.
Every week trimming down until I get the Scott Van Pelt look haha.
