Hi!
@ilong I talked to my doctor about it...and she stated that I probably wouldnt be candidate for the procedure
because its for those with established auto-immune disorders??
What???!!!?? ^^^^ I don't have an auto-immune disorder. With the exception of aching knee joints, I'm perfectly healthy and I've already had 3 PRP treatments and 3 additional treatments scheduled for the remainder of the year. The procedure is used to treat Hair Loss. Osetoarthritis, knee injuries as well as (Vampire) Facelifts. Tiger Woods has had the treatments for his knees as well as other athletes. http://www.bloomberg.com/news/artic...y-used-by-tiger-woods-lures-everyday-athletes and http://abcnews.go.com/Health/Techno...latelet-rich-plasma-therapy/story?id=10303312
Please do your research @virgo_chinwe ! There is a thread on the procedure being used for (Vampire) Facelift (mstar posted that she had the treatment). There is also the thread I started on the Procedure. Please ignore the "for Androgenic Alopecia" as the treatment is for hair loss in general. In that thread I list another site -(realself.com) with reviews and information on the procedure.
Also what supplements, topical treatments are yo.u using to combat the hair loss/alopecia/ccca?
I am using Folligen (a copper peptide) and emu Oil as a topical treatment. I massage my scalp faithfully twice a day with both. As of Oct 1st I've added Phytophanere and Viviscal to my supplement regiment. I switched from Nature's Bounty HSN to Country Life Maxi Hair middle of September
My derm currently has me on ketoconazole shampoo and clobetasol oinment twice daily.
I am taking a prenatal vitamin, 5000mcg biotion (doc recommended), country life hair vits, biosil, bamboo, and vitamin d.
In addition to the PRP thread, please check out the thread on LLLT - low level laser therapy as well.
@ejfel and
@Hisbeloved beloved posted some good information in those threads.
@ejfel posted the link to a good site for hair loss. It appears to be focused on men, (I believe it was originally intended for men) but there is a host of information on it for males and females, suffering from hair loss. I'm not sure if it's good to be on the clobetasol for an extended period of time, isn't that a steroid? Have you tri
I am on a desperate search for natural, moisturizing conditioner, leave-ins etc. I am a simple gal in that area, just basic OTC and OTG purchases.
@IDareT'sHair is very knowledgable on good products in those areas; perhaps she will jump in here and respond with some recommendations.
