As a nurse practicing PRP injections (>6 patients a day!). I find that the TSK invisible needles make PRP super comfortable. Also the u225 device practically makes this treatment painless and effective ! No numbing cream needed.
@@IceSk8Princessa12 it’s a painless injection gun. You need the real gun made in France for it to truly be painless. I think there’s a study for jetpeels being used too.
You give me faith honestly. I’ve been to many doctors and dermatologists for issues and literally none help and aren’t interested in even explaining anything to me. Thank you for being a truly good dermatologist and good person too. It’s appreciated by people like me!
Super random but I came across your comment - I have been suffering from this since my early 20s and went to a trichologist who gave me minoxidil drops. It has worked amazingly well and I have been using them for 6 years and am so happy with the progress
i played this video because you look like ben barnes in the thumbnail and i was actually in real search for prp related issues 😭😭😭 n e ways, the video was a great help. everything was very well explained, so, thank you, doctor!
May DR RORPOPOR HERBAL on TH-cam leave long to fulfilled GOD promises in this life, your herbal supplement to my HERPES worked like a magic, thank you for giving me completely healing may your days be long sir,🤗🤗🤗🤗
Prp is great in conjunction with rogaine daily usage. It’s only painful for a couple minutes, nothing a Tylenol can’t help. It’s been 7 weeks for me and I’m already getting results.
Just got my PRP done today, honestly, I was very nervous and scared as I have heard a lot of people saying that it hurts a lot. My honest review is that, NO it does not hurt at all. The physical pain is 2/10 or maybe 3/10 in some areas of the scalp. But the real pain was mental pain haha, what made me more nervous was thinking that a needle was injected into my scalps, however, I didn't feel anything. Truth be told, the whole thing was over in less than 5 mins.
PRP really works! I got back to full density in the areas that had less loss (top and front) and good density in the crown (not full…but I am not complaining…with proper styling you really can’t tell). My doctor doesn’t do one-at-time needles. It’s four needles connected…not sure what you call it but she fills it up once and it injects from four needles at a time, each about .5 inches apart. It’s weird…spring loaded like a stapler. Then a single needle is used around the front hairline. So it only takes like 5 - 7 min total for the crown, top of my head, and front hairline. It hurts, but 5-7 min of pain is not bad…you’re given balls to squeeze which helps. Take some Tylenol before and after to help manage pain too. Another important thing, you have to be sedentary for like 3 days after…no exercise, not a lot of walking. Blood flow will carry the platelet matrix stuff from your scalp to other area of the body, and you want to prevent that as much as possible and give the stuff time to do its thing. Finally, you really should supplement it with daily finasteride, and I would also say daily minoxidil. If you don’t you are risking throwing all that money for PRP down the drain IMO. Father Time will get you and you will see less impressive results as you age so finasteride will help you keep what you have so PRP doesn’t have to work as hard.
Hello, I've had 6 rounds of PRP, and I've noticed about 20-25 more hair growth. My hair looks thicker and fuller. I have two more rounds to go. If my hair is 30-35 more than before the treatment I will be very happy. But I'm not sure how long the effect will last after the treatment ends. Inshallah , it will be ok.
This is a great video!!! Extremely informative... I've done my first treatment already... I wonder can you inject the face?? My facial hair is little to none at age 38 🤦🏾♂️
In theory you definitely could, but we have even less research on this! A lot of people do microneedling paired with PRP solution rubbed onto the face to help with facial rejuvenation at the moment, but not specifically for facial hair regrowth!
Hi Doctor, thanks for this video. Two questions: (1) Would you recommend PRP in addition to finasteride? If so, how do you know whether the PRP is contributing to the improvements? (2) How long does it take to identify whether PRP is working or not and do you lose the gains if you stop doing it?
Hey Khurram, thanks for the questions! 1) I always do recommend continuing finasteride because in real life terms, I’m all about maximising results using as many different mechanisms as we can, and finasteride has a proven track record of efficacy to some extent in male pattern hair loss. Like you said, that makes it difficult to run it as a true ‘controlled experiment’ for yourself, because you’re not likely to know exactly what contribution each intervention is providing. Often patients have used finasteride by itself for many months-years and so they have basically trialled it by itself by that point, meaning if they notice a significant improvement in hair growth after the PRP you can safely attribute that to the PRP! 2) In the studies done so far improvements were noted by as early as 8 weeks follow up! Because it’s a relatively new technique, we don’t have a lot of research on what would happen if you entirely stopped getting PRP, as the recommended protocol is to continue 6 monthly ‘maintenance’ injections so you don’t run the risk of losing all your progress. It may end up that if you stop completely the gains are immediately lost (like in Rogaine), or it may be that the response is more long-term, it’s tough to tell! (My bet is on the former of these 2 scenarios).
What if your DHT levels are low to begin with, I mean seriously, I can't imagine I clocked in from the bare minimum of normal for DHT (I'd have been low if I was lower) to fluctuating to high enough to cause baldness or swell the prostate. Mostly worried about DHT inhibitor going systemic/causing sides as I feel like I would be prone. And some of my scalp thinning is due to simply having to use steroid treatments/inflammation outbreaks/keto/medical shampoo. Makes me wonder if PRP would benefit me more or have less of a risk for benefit. Also side note: can we get away with 1x a day Minox? Or find an affordable minox + tretinoin + topical corticosteroid perhaps? I mean that isn't like 100+$ a month for way too little.
Great video doc, thank you so much. I am about to fly to 🇹🇷 for one those cheap hair transplant surgery (FUE) 😅.I am 37 and totally freaked out (I have 0 tolerance for pain). Do you have any video talking about FUE good/bad effects? God bless you!
Hey doctor i just started following you in i.g your very informative and straightforward ..is it possible to get the procedure done with u specifically??
People like to make money! Some of the equipment can be expensive too depending on the source of the PRP preparation kit/centrifuge, but of course there's also the profit incentive part which can't be denied!
2 questions: (1) How soon after your initial PRP session do most patients begin to see growth? (2) Is it possible to apply an anesthetic / numbing agent so the injections don't hurt as much?
Some patients notice a difference within a few weeks of a PRP session! In terms of the numbing part, it's very tough, as anesthetic typical comes in cream/injection forms. Creams are hard to use on the scalp, and injections, well... they require injections which are also painful! Some places use ice, vibration devices etc. which can help minimize pain
Thank you for making a two videos including this one. And thank you so much for recommending good skin creams. I bought them from Boots and love them. Just a question, from what is the earliest age can a person have hair implant??
Can range from 10cc to 30cc typically of blood! And the yield of PRP is dependent on the operator, some people prefer 'very concentrated' PRP, so a 30cc venous blood draw may yield 3-5cc of PRP. Others don't discard as much platelet poor plasma, so may have more 'PRP' to inject in the end. No hard rules here. And I don't know why he isn't more specific, he's probably just an idiot
Nice videos. Very clear and concise. Some suggestions for future videos: ketokonazel shampoo for hairloss. Importance of scalp health for hair growth, and micro dosing of finasteride.
Hey Doc, great video! I've been doing prp for about 6 months and have had mixed results. I have visible improvement on my hairline, but have yet to see any change on my crown area. Any idea of why that may be?
Honestly it's tough to say! The research on which areas of the scalp do/don't respond well to PRP just isn't there yet for me to be able to comment on!
I hate to say this but PRP just make me worst. I started losing hair at 24 but i regain it with minoxidil. At 29 i had some problems in my life and started noticing that minoxidil was not working...stated losing a lot of hair and 3 months ago i reach out to a very nice doctor in my city to find a way to at least stop the hair falling. The doctor said that its still not to late to save it and she will prefer not a transplant but PRP and Mesotherapy . After 3 sessions of PRP and 1 of Mesotherapy i can say that i am in the worst condition ever. All that ruin my hair. I lost a lot more after those sessions and in 2 weeks i have a meeting with the doctor to talk about it and i think i will stop all this bullshit cuz i don't want to be bald. Conclusion : Losing hair is a hard thing to deal with, try PRP only if you have nothing to lose...if you are bald, you should try but if you still have some hair stay away.
Definitely not surprising to hear these experiences, as I know around 40% of people don't get benefit from PRP. Hopefully in time we can get better data to help us predict who it's a worthwhile procedure for!
Loved this video. I'm just worried about the fact that I am prone to keloid scars. Do the PRP injections go so deep that I could be at risk for keloids?
Keloid scars are hard to predict! But typically PRP injections using tiny gauge needles are not traumatic enough to trigger keloids. Always best to discuss with your provider though!
It's subjective to the individual and severity, lifestyle, what there doing at home to treat etc regards how many sessions are needed I believe. I've known people having one session along with maintenance DIY treatments have been great for months. I think for many Dr,s and clinics it's money making - charging between £300 to £500 per PRP session is Absolutely ridiculous. I'm lucky enough to have someone close to me who works in the medical field who is actually going to get a centrifuge machine and save a TON of money in the long run. I just think Clinics tend to take advantage of patients regarding PRP pricing and " how many sessions required".
Definitely possible! All I can say is about what the ‘best research’ currently shows as a treatment protocol, but there’s every chance that there are other protocols that have not been studied which may be as effective and NOT require those same number of sessions. There’s no denying there’s a huge profit motive for providers doing this procedure which is hard to separate away from the science e.g. are providers likely to even take part in a study that tests less treatments when they have such a clear incentive for encouraging more procedures?
@@usamasyed Agreed!! I think that's why many many more general public people are being trained in non-invasive aesthetic procedures themselves these days and are a lot more interested in doing treatments on themselves or DIY. Allbiet deemed " not safe " or ideal from a medical stand point granted but knowledge is power right. We are much more aesthetically aware generally on how clinics, dr's, skincare derm's , hair pros etc seem to monetize massively and talk a good talk on said topics to get you in their clinic, buy there products and devices and tend to dominise anything outside of their own practices. It's not always about medical studies it's about peoples experience, which is why TH-cam is an absolute godsend when it comes to the comment section. I believe that's where a lot of truth actually lies based on people's personal experience and their own knowledge too.
Yep, for sure! You always see this in specialised sectors where they intentionally build up walls around certain types of practice, procedures etc which are lucrative for them. Inevitably the market comes along and tries to disrupt these power bases. Hopefully a balance is reached between making beneficial treatments more financially accessible, whilst also keeping them out of the hands of dangerous bad actors (I’m not exaggerating when I say that I’ve seen hundreds of patients injected with fake fillers, ‘Botox’ that did nothing but give them an infection, etc).
@@usamasyed It's refreshing to hear a fellow Doc be abit more real. Oh definitely on the Actors acting for the benefit of. I witnessed this myself in a Skincare clinic they were recording for a promo vid back in 2020 🤦. Welcome to life as we know it right... 😆
Could you please share your insights on lasers like carbon, Q switch etc and hyped hydra facials ! Is it all worth the high price? Including details such as Sessions needed to see the actual results!
I'll tell you. As I've grown older, more mature and less vain I personally believe a Man looks more MANLY with a bald head. If you have no bumps or ugly scars then my recommendation is don't sweat it. No hair THESE DAYS is very acceptable.
Chronic TE is a very tricky problem, and the evidence isn’t strong for many treatments of this poorly understood condition. There are reports of success with PRP, and also with things like minoxidil foam, but there isn’t a great amount of evidence for anything at this stage. It will likely require experimenting with multiple options!
Topical minoxidil combined with a derma roller to increase the penetration, as well as finasteride, are both evidence based options for hair loss! I recommend discussing with your dermatologist which might be the right ones for you!
@@mohammadsk2974 retinol can help to increase skin turnover and in theory increase penetration of other products, but because the base of the hair follicle is SO deep, it's not likely to make a huge difference.
Hi, great info! Is it suitable for receded hairline in women? How many injections do you think required for getting the treatment just for fixing the hairline? Thanks.
Hello doctor... Iam 21 year old female experiencing extreme hairloss . I have severe dandruff issue... I wanted to know may I go for prp treatment? Will it increase my dandruff issues? Please reply doctor
Thank you for this informative video. I've been thinking about this multiple times since I'm currently doing microneedling with minoxidil. I just want to know if I would undergo PRP treatment, can I still continue microneedling with minoxidil to get better results?
I'm 45 and dealing with a 24 year old woman. Only time I've ever been attracted to a much younger woman. Man I wish I had to 4 to 6,000 to have 20 injections! 😂 😢
Hi Doctor Syed! Someone sent me a video of a doctor on the Today Show talking about a different hair treatment called the Alma TED. Have you heard about this? The doctor said it required no needles or blood. My mother has begun to see hair thinning, but she’s terrified of needles so we’re looking for an alternative to PRP. Thanks!
I am the lucky one 25 years old woman with good blood 😁. PRP is very good for me. Also I use daily HairMax, natural topical stimulation and an androgen blockers in a very low concentration. Super scheme
Hi Usama, will it be safe for a fit man with familial hypercholesterolemia to take 1.25 mg daily? His cholesterol is high but he goes to gym, has no health issues except hair loss and his father also has it to old age and his father says it's not something to worry about.
Hi Dr Syed, thank you for your sensitive and informative video! Just one question - would you recommend prp to a woman in their 2nd month of telogen effluvium? (Aka me!) My shedding has not yet stopped, but I’m eager to reduce the appearance of bald patches. Will prp help to speed up/stimulate growth in the patches where I’ve already lost hair …despite the fact I will be continuing to lose hair in other patches? I hope this makes sense. From a slightly anxious 22 year old girl battling a receding hairline aa! P.S. my Doctor and I are fairly certain the cause of my telogen effluvium was extreme weight loss (3 months prior) and I have already returned to a normal healthy diet and introduced daily supplements. I’m aware that treating the underlying cause of t.e. is the go-to! :)
Could the difference in why it works for some but not for others have to do with the richness of the plasma in growth hormones. Furthermore, as you are probably muslim, do you think the use of a derma stamp which kind of does the same as hijama but without the blood being cupped out help even more with hair growth. There are many info already going around with the derma stamp to get people their hair line back together with Minoxidil and it kind off remind me of Hijama without the cupping. Also, I know a hijamist who was able to get someone to get their hair completely back (This happened in the best dutch hijama clinic done by a certified doctor that deepened her roots in hijama) from severe alopecia with several times of hijama treatments. Would a combo of Minoxidil (and others like finasteride), derma stamp together with wet cupping of hijama potentially cure severe cases of alopecia? Cause the healing of the disease is in the cut if we look at the Hadith regarding hijama and derma stamo kind off does what the hadith mentions as making very small cuts 😊. Ofcourse lets not forget the dietary intake such as borage oil etc... 🤔 So instead of injections, you make a derma stemp device which excretes growth hirmone rich plasma after putting a 5 minute suction (like hijama cups do) to increase the blood flow towards the hair follicle and increase the chance for hair growth in more people. Another reason why is might work in some and not in others is to look at the thickness of the skinn. For hijama you only need to go into the first layer of the skin and no more, but in some places this is thicker than on other places and some people in generally have thicker skin than others. Would the thickness of the skinn have anything to do with why hair growth works for some people but not for others? 😕 This might be interesting to look into and see what this could do for people that have alopecia maybe 🤔
It should actually ALWAYS look yellowish, because the red blood cells which give blood that red colour should all be filtered out. However, sometimes when people ‘shake’ the tube some red blood cells can escape from the gel separator and mix with the PRP!
Dear doctor I have a lot of dark spots on my skin and some area pigments little spot and my skin is dull tell me best retinoids for treat melasma for long term use❤😊
I understand that a new needle should be used every time you get a shot, does that mean you’ll require between 20-50 needles per treatment, or is it different?
That's a real shame, I feel for you. Everything costs so much in the US. I have an offer of about 160 USD in Eastern Europe and it includes mesotherapy as well. Not sure if to do it as might not work.
Omg that’s too much. I had my hair transplant here in Dubai a year ago for just only $3200 which already includes 4 sessions of prp and 16 sessions of laser therapy. I’m totally happy with the results now.
I wouldn’t associate it with the PRP specifically, as just having a concentrated amount of your own growth factors injected into your skin is unlikely to cause this!
Hey! It would be very tough to do at home as you would need a special PRP preparation kit, a centrifuge, medical grade sterilized syringes and needles, and then also to use the right/safe techniques to inject tens of times in the scalp!
Just got my PRP done today, took about 30 min paid $900 for 3 sessions, once a month, got a discount paying all upfront. It did hurt me quite a bit, they took the blood, did all that and they started needling my head. Feels like getting a tattoo if you know the feeling, they did offer me ice to numb my head meanwhile. After the 30 min session went on my way home. It did hurt for about 2 hours, feel like a minor headache. No bleeding, etc. Looking forward to the results, if any.
I have already done 7th sessions but still no result. 1st it worked. Hair fall reduced but now it's falling again even though i don't miss any session.
but, prp is effective if you do it properly, spinning it properlu, concentrate it and activate it.. so.. i think we should go for a good doctor paying a little more

Hey Doc, great video! I've been doing prp for about 6 months and have had mixed results. I have visible improvement on my hairline, but have yet to see any change on my crown area. Any idea of why that may be?
Any update
Honestly it's tough to say! The research on which areas of the scalp do/don't respond well to PRP just isn't there yet for me to be able to comment on!
Same imdidnt notice anything in my crown
My existing hair did get thick but I didn’t notice any new growth on my crown
I hate to say this but PRP just make me worst. I started losing hair at 24 but i regain it with minoxidil. At 29 i had some problems in my life and started noticing that minoxidil was not working...stated losing a lot of hair and 3 months ago i reach out to a very nice doctor in my city to find a way to at least stop the hair falling. The doctor said that its still not to late to save it and she will prefer not a transplant but PRP and Mesotherapy . After 3 sessions of PRP and 1 of Mesotherapy i can say that i am in the worst condition ever. All that ruin my hair. I lost a lot more after those sessions and in 2 weeks i have a meeting with the doctor to talk about it and i think i will stop all this bullshit cuz i don't want to be bald.
Conclusion : Losing hair is a hard thing to deal with, try PRP only if you have nothing to lose...if you are bald, you should try but if you still have some hair stay away.
Definitely not surprising to hear these experiences, as I know around 40% of people don't get benefit from PRP. Hopefully in time we can get better data to help us predict who it's a worthwhile procedure for!
Loved this video. I'm just worried about the fact that I am prone to keloid scars. Do the PRP injections go so deep that I could be at risk for keloids?
Keloid scars are hard to predict! But typically PRP injections using tiny gauge needles are not traumatic enough to trigger keloids. Always best to discuss with your provider though!
Hi Dr,
I live in Rwanda, how can we open a clinic/pharmacy and start selling it to Eastern people??
Would kill someone if I went through all of that and was just getting placebo....🤣🤣🤣
Its not worth it if i gotta keep getting it just to keep hair
Doc can you make a video on where belief comes into the picture of growing back hair?
Will you still be doing the Rogaine explanation video?
It's subjective to the individual and severity, lifestyle, what there doing at home to treat etc regards how many sessions are needed I believe. I've known people having one session along with maintenance DIY treatments have been great for months. I think for many Dr,s and clinics it's money making - charging between £300 to £500 per PRP session is Absolutely ridiculous. I'm lucky enough to have someone close to me who works in the medical field who is actually going to get a centrifuge machine and save a TON of money in the long run. I just think Clinics tend to take advantage of patients regarding PRP pricing and " how many sessions required".
Definitely possible! All I can say is about what the ‘best research’ currently shows as a treatment protocol, but there’s every chance that there are other protocols that have not been studied which may be as effective and NOT require those same number of sessions. There’s no denying there’s a huge profit motive for providers doing this procedure which is hard to separate away from the science e.g. are providers likely to even take part in a study that tests less treatments when they have such a clear incentive for encouraging more procedures?
@@usamasyed Agreed!! I think that's why many many more general public people are being trained in non-invasive aesthetic procedures themselves these days and are a lot more interested in doing treatments on themselves or DIY. Allbiet deemed " not safe " or ideal from a medical stand point granted but knowledge is power right. We are much more aesthetically aware generally on how clinics, dr's, skincare derm's , hair pros etc seem to monetize massively and talk a good talk on said topics to get you in their clinic, buy there products and devices and tend to dominise anything outside of their own practices. It's not always about medical studies it's about peoples experience, which is why TH-cam is an absolute godsend when it comes to the comment section. I believe that's where a lot of truth actually lies based on people's personal experience and their own knowledge too.
Yep, for sure! You always see this in specialised sectors where they intentionally build up walls around certain types of practice, procedures etc which are lucrative for them. Inevitably the market comes along and tries to disrupt these power bases. Hopefully a balance is reached between making beneficial treatments more financially accessible, whilst also keeping them out of the hands of dangerous bad actors (I’m not exaggerating when I say that I’ve seen hundreds of patients injected with fake fillers, ‘Botox’ that did nothing but give them an infection, etc).
@@usamasyed It's refreshing to hear a fellow Doc be abit more real. Oh definitely on the Actors acting for the benefit of. I witnessed this myself in a Skincare clinic they were recording for a promo vid back in 2020 🤦. Welcome to life as we know it right... 😆
This video basically SUMS IT ALL UP uploaded hours ago check it out this guy is good👌

Could you please share your insights on lasers like carbon, Q switch etc and hyped hydra facials ! Is it all worth the high price? Including details such as Sessions needed to see the actual results!
I'll tell you. As I've grown older, more mature and less vain I personally believe a Man looks more MANLY with a bald head. If you have no bumps or ugly scars then my recommendation is don't sweat it. No hair THESE DAYS is very acceptable.
Love this! Nothing wrong with a bald head - inner confidence is always the cheapest and longest lasting solution!
How do you reverse chronic telegon effluvium properly??? Does this require treatment also?
Chronic TE is a very tricky problem, and the evidence isn’t strong for many treatments of this poorly understood condition. There are reports of success with PRP, and also with things like minoxidil foam, but there isn’t a great amount of evidence for anything at this stage. It will likely require experimenting with multiple options!
@@usamasyed thankyou doctor. My last question would be does a scalp biopsy show if I have telegon effluvium or male pattern hair loss?
What about minoxidil dermaroller and finasteride
Topical minoxidil combined with a derma roller to increase the penetration, as well as finasteride, are both evidence based options for hair loss! I recommend discussing with your dermatologist which might be the right ones for you!
realskindoctor what about retinol to increase penetration as well? Heard a lot about that ... Also do these work for beard and mustache?
@@mohammadsk2974 retinol can help to increase skin turnover and in theory increase penetration of other products, but because the base of the hair follicle is SO deep, it's not likely to make a huge difference.
If you are quite bald they can spread anesthesia on your scalp
How effective microneedling by dermaroller is ?
Is maintenance 1 treatment every 6 months for the rest of your life?
Does Hair shedding happen after 1st sitting ???????????
Hi, great info! Is it suitable for receded hairline in women? How many injections do you think required for getting the treatment just for fixing the hairline? Thanks.
What’s the best resource to learn dermatology interactively for students (post-USMLE step1)
I really like VisualDx!
I had five seasons... absolutely no effect
Yep! Studies show that half of the people who do it have your kind of experience!
HAVE you ever seen it work on a bald head ?
Salam doctor
Could you please tell me if a cancer patient can do PRP thank you
if the prp wasnt enough could i later get a hair transplant
Yeah of course
Absolutely, the PRP would not cause any problems with a future hair transplant
Hello doctor... Iam 21 year old female experiencing extreme hairloss . I have severe dandruff issue... I wanted to know may I go for prp treatment? Will it increase my dandruff issues?
Please reply doctor
It may work, but it sure is painful.
Does prp have a noticeable benefit over just micro needling every week?
Would it work on a bald head?
Depends what type of bald head!
Thank you for this informative video. I've been thinking about this multiple times since I'm currently doing microneedling with minoxidil. I just want to know if I would undergo PRP treatment, can I still continue microneedling with minoxidil to get better results?
Yep! No issue using both these techniques together
I tried PRP and it didn’t work for me. It was painful and also wasted my time and money. Hope I might have watched this video earlier 😢
Sorry it didn't work for you!
I'm 45 and dealing with a 24 year old woman. Only time I've ever been attracted to a much younger woman. Man I wish I had to 4 to 6,000 to have 20 injections! 😂 😢
Hi Doctor Syed! Someone sent me a video of a doctor on the Today Show talking about a different hair treatment called the Alma TED. Have you heard about this? The doctor said it required no needles or blood. My mother has begun to see hair thinning, but she’s terrified of needles so we’re looking for an alternative to PRP. Thanks!
I am the lucky one 25 years old woman with good blood 😁. PRP is very good for me. Also I use daily HairMax, natural topical stimulation and an androgen blockers in a very low concentration. Super scheme
PRP cost around 100-200$ in India . $500 is injecting what gold follicle?
Don’t give them ideas for new cosmetic procedures!
Hey Dr., like your videos, and the scientific credible content of them, if I may, do you think that PRP is effective in Dark circles ? Thank you
Hi Usama, will it be safe for a fit man with familial hypercholesterolemia to take 1.25 mg daily? His cholesterol is high but he goes to gym, has no health issues except hair loss and his father also has it to old age and his father says it's not something to worry about.
Hi Dr Syed, thank you for your sensitive and informative video! Just one question - would you recommend prp to a woman in their 2nd month of telogen effluvium? (Aka me!) My shedding has not yet stopped, but I’m eager to reduce the appearance of bald patches. Will prp help to speed up/stimulate growth in the patches where I’ve already lost hair …despite the fact I will be continuing to lose hair in other patches? I hope this makes sense. From a slightly anxious 22 year old girl battling a receding hairline aa!
P.S. my Doctor and I are fairly certain the cause of my telogen effluvium was extreme weight loss (3 months prior) and I have already returned to a normal healthy diet and introduced daily supplements. I’m aware that treating the underlying cause of t.e. is the go-to! :)
I hope you're doing well
Could the difference in why it works for some but not for others have to do with the richness of the plasma in growth hormones. Furthermore, as you are probably muslim, do you think the use of a derma stamp which kind of does the same as hijama but without the blood being cupped out help even more with hair growth. There are many info already going around with the derma stamp to get people their hair line back together with Minoxidil and it kind off remind me of Hijama without the cupping. Also, I know a hijamist who was able to get someone to get their hair completely back (This happened in the best dutch hijama clinic done by a certified doctor that deepened her roots in hijama) from severe alopecia with several times of hijama treatments. Would a combo of Minoxidil (and others like finasteride), derma stamp together with wet cupping of hijama potentially cure severe cases of alopecia? Cause the healing of the disease is in the cut if we look at the Hadith regarding hijama and derma stamo kind off does what the hadith mentions as making very small cuts 😊. Ofcourse lets not forget the dietary intake such as borage oil etc... 🤔
So instead of injections, you make a derma stemp device which excretes growth hirmone rich plasma after putting a 5 minute suction (like hijama cups do) to increase the blood flow towards the hair follicle and increase the chance for hair growth in more people.
Another reason why is might work in some and not in others is to look at the thickness of the skinn. For hijama you only need to go into the first layer of the skin and no more, but in some places this is thicker than on other places and some people in generally have thicker skin than others. Would the thickness of the skinn have anything to do with why hair growth works for some people but not for others? 😕 This might be interesting to look into and see what this could do for people that have alopecia maybe 🤔
I have a question: PRP at the time of preparation looks yellowish.. however at the time of injecting it looks like a red liquid. Why's that??
It should actually ALWAYS look yellowish, because the red blood cells which give blood that red colour should all be filtered out. However, sometimes when people ‘shake’ the tube some red blood cells can escape from the gel separator and mix with the PRP!
Dear doctor I have a lot of dark spots on my skin and some area pigments little spot and my skin is dull tell me best retinoids for treat melasma for long term use❤😊
I understand that a new needle should be used every time you get a shot, does that mean you’ll require between 20-50 needles per treatment, or is it different?
Can I take prp along with nanoxidil and tablets
Unfortunately, I had 8 sessions of prp and spent over $800 for each session (I live in California) and it didn’t work for me at all😢😢😢
That's a real shame, I feel for you. Everything costs so much in the US. I have an offer of about 160 USD in Eastern Europe and it includes mesotherapy as well. Not sure if to do it as might not work.
Omg that’s too much. I had my hair transplant here in Dubai a year ago for just only $3200 which already includes 4 sessions of prp and 16 sessions of laser therapy. I’m totally happy with the results now.
Is it possible that it might damage the hair in the long term?
Not in most cases, but everything is possible
can prp work in patchy beard?
In theory it might, but there's no good studies!
Thanks for the video Usama bhai! Can you please also create a video on how can someone with Seborrheic Dermatitis deal with it and manage it?
Sir, after prp treatment I experienced excessive hair fall. Why is that?
I wouldn’t associate it with the PRP specifically, as just having a concentrated amount of your own growth factors injected into your skin is unlikely to cause this!
@@usamasyed thank you. Will it be OK Sir? Will my hair which are fell due to this treatment again ?
Got any result form prp?
Are we allowed to do it by ourselves?? Will it be dangerous
Hey! It would be very tough to do at home as you would need a special PRP preparation kit, a centrifuge, medical grade sterilized syringes and needles, and then also to use the right/safe techniques to inject tens of times in the scalp!
I have finally managed all the equipments and started doing it by myself. I have done 3 sessions and it doesn’t seems to be working
Quick question here I am a male in my 18s and I been seeing my hair density getting lesser what should i do
Can you have PRP if you have a scar on your scalp and also painful .?
Yes
Just got my PRP done today, took about 30 min paid $900 for 3 sessions, once a month, got a discount paying all upfront.
It did hurt me quite a bit, they took the blood, did all that and they started needling my head. Feels like getting a tattoo if you know the feeling, they did offer me ice to numb my head meanwhile.
After the 30 min session went on my way home. It did hurt for about 2 hours, feel like a minor headache.
No bleeding, etc.
Looking forward to the results, if any.
Does it work
Sounds like a great deal to me! Let me know your experiences after the treatment!
How it come out?
Hows the result?
?
I have already done 7th sessions but still no result. 1st it worked. Hair fall reduced but now it's falling again even though i don't miss any session.
You don’t get any regrowth?
In israel 8 injections 1 thousand total.
is this beneficial for someone with trichotillomania? thank you!
It won't help massively in that context, as the key part here is stopping the picking out!
In France it is 250 euros for the cheap one
Let's all go to France!!
In Belgium it’s 180 euros
italy it starts from 200
but, prp is effective if you do it properly, spinning it properlu, concentrate it and activate it.. so.. i think we should go for a good doctor paying a little more
Is it a feasible treatment for people with no hair at all?
Don’t think it’ll make much of a difference in that case tbh
@@usamasyed thank you for replying!💕
I have grey hair and am fedup please is there any cure
Only hair dye for now unfortunately.
