Hi just looking for some information on PRP + ECM injections for hair loss. How well it works? How long it lasts? and what sort of costs am i looking at? From what iv read it only lasts roughly 3-4 months but longer in some cases, would it be a good option to do this prior to starting minoxidil or would that be a pointless waste of money. If anyone has experimented with it I would love to hear from you. Thanks in advance

PRP is basically your own blood product. There are different techniques to obtain PRP but it mostly has to do with companies selling different products to doctors (and patients) claiming their method is "the best".You can still obtain PRP the old fashion way using regular lab centrifuge...
