Hi, I have lost a lot of scalp hair and I'm interested in PRP injections for hair loss. Wondered if anyone has had PRP for this reason and what the results are like.

Finding it difficult to access this treatment locally. Mostly sales reps locally but treatment centre are to far away to travel to. Wondering if anyone if anyone else has experienced this or if it is a con.

I suspect many people here will have no idea what PRP is!

Plasma injections for the scalp. They have been used for years for joints muscle in ect. Last few years they have been used for hair growth.

I’ve seen this advertised by various places on Instagram. It seems to be something they’re even exploring for rejuvenating ovaries for those in perimenopause or menopause.

Not sure where you live but I’ve seen places in London that offer this.

Limited number of studies for use of PRP in menopause and again with limited results.

I can’t add anything to your injection info but have you tried grow by hair gain, I’ve seen a real improvement since I started them. So much so I’m not conscious of the issue any more where before it was always there. I’ve had hair loss since my 20’s and other than pregnancy this product is the only thing to improve it.

This is fantastic. So happy for you. What is in the pill. Where did you get it from. Also please answer via private message as the site doesn't allow recommendation. Would want them send you a warning. Thank you.

I ordered via Amazon but I think it’s cheaper via their own website. Re recommendations isn’t that for prescription meds? This item is a supplement.

Thank you so much for this information. I've looked it up and it's a powerful anti oxidant. Ordered a pack today. Hope to god they work for me. My hair is terrible now. I'm considering a hair transplant as it's got that bad.
