now I've gotten a lot of DMS recently of people wondering whether or not I've gotten
a hair transplant I'm honestly flattered but I did not I went with PRP injections which is a
non-surgical approach in order to stimulate new follicle production I'm here with you guys today
to share with you my experience let's get into it so what is PRP PRP is a non-surgical process
involving injecting platelet-rich plasma to stimulate new hair growth production it just also
has application in skin care wound healing Scar Tissue modeling and other aspects of the hair and
skin now the process for PRP is relatively simple they draw blood from a vein place that blood into
a centrifuge separate the red blood cells from the blood plasma fill out the syringes with the
plasma and begin injecting into your target airs which can be anywhere from a few to a few dozen
injections per side when it comes to my treatment planning with PRP based on the assessment for my
dermatologist it was about three sessions so I went September October November of the previous
year in order to do that and pretty much every time it was the exact same process of drawing
blood and injecting the blood plasma back into my scalp and the expected timeline for the results
hat is anywhere between 9 to 12 months I did a follow-up for after I completed my treatment plan
in February but there wasn't any visible change because the expected results are 9 to 12 months
I had no idea why they called me back three months in but there was a initial bit of hair
shedding that I noticed especially continuing with microneedling and minoxidil now that 9 to
12 month time frame does line up relatively well between having about three to four hair growth
Cycles it takes about three months for the hair to go from completely vallis all the way up to
terminal now if you're having a shedding phase in there you're gonna have that bit of those Growing
Pains where it looks worse before it looks a lot better but one thing that I have noticed
is right in the front of my head it is noticeably denser the recession on the sides was pretty bad
I don't think with just PRP it's going to make the hairline look completely brand new like I've never
had it probably I may need to do a minor hair transplant eventually if I decide to go down that
route but I've noticed it definitely has thickened the majority of the hairs that are right in front
of my crown and the edges have started to come in a fair bit now I did start using minoxidil twice a
day instead of just once a day now so there may be a little bit of hair shed there but this is pretty
much what my hair is looking like right now and so far I am pretty happy with the results because
when I started growing out my hair and started styling it a little bit it doesn't look too
horrible I know like my hairline is still recessed but thankfully in the past two years nothing has
gotten worse and is it slowly but surely making up some lost round even though if sometimes it feels
a lot slower with different hair shed Cycles the overall cost of PRP can also be relatively pricey
for myself it was about nine hundred dollars per appointment and it can range a little bit between
500 to about a thousand dollars per appointment so it's definitely something to consider if you have
a three or four uh session treatment plan so you can be looking anywhere between like 2700 to about
four thousand dollars I paid right under three thousand dollars so about twenty nine hundred
bucks in total and it's still cheaper than um a lot of the most affordable hair transplant options
out there especially if you're looking globally so whether that's like South Korea Colombia turkey it
still is a few thousand dollars cheaper and I believe for myself not having that bad of
recession and really started things a little bit more proactively they advise the dermatologist
and plastic surgeon of advice for me to start with PRP because I asked them questions about
like related to this whole thing of like going to like to Turkey or Colombia or South Korea for hair
transplants and here in Canada They Don't Really offer hair transplants for anyone under 35 because
of the chance of regressing a lot further so they were just like let's start with PRP and see where
we go and the fact that was a few thousand dollars cheaper than an entry level link uh Fue or fut
which is really good so definitely something to consider this is what I have been doing for my
hair for the past a little while hopefully you guys found this helpful and informative if you
