I have visited few doctors, told me about the procedure for hair regrowth by injecting our own blood into scalp. (Photo)

The sad truth is that there is no known cure for hair loss.  Platelet rich plasma, with ACell, has been shown to reduce the rate of hair loss and in some cases regrow hair.  However, there have been no statistically powerful, peer-reviewed, controlled studies performed that would allow physicians to comment on specific statistics.  I strongly believe that adding ACell to the PRP increases the effectiveness, as it provides an extra-cellular matrix upon which the PRP can build.  The ACell is collagen, and is like a microscopic scaffold frame to help new hairs grow.There are certainly other options for controlling the rate of hair loss.  A consultation with a surgeon who's practice is 100% dedicated to hair restoration would be a good idea for you, as the physician can counsel you on the various treatments available for controlling the rate of hair loss, and possibly effecting some hair regrowth. 

First, you need to have a diagnosis of why you are losing hair before considering treatment options.You really cannot have a "blanket" treatment for all types of hair loss.Second, if you have a diagnosis of male pattern balding, it is a genetic trait.  There is no cure for androgenic alopecia.  PRP is not a cure. Third, there isn't solid evidence that PRP works.  Matter of fact PRP, ACell, Shampoos, Lotions, Potions, etc is not a cure for a condition that is genetic.  You can read about the research as well as doctors' opinions here. Everyone is entitled to their opinions  This post is only mine.  See link below.  

I believe you are referring to PRP, or
platelet rich plasma, injections. In this procedure, the patient’s own
blood is drawn and separated into its components. The PRP is then
injected into the scalp. PRP has regenerating and rejuvenating
effects. It has been used in other facets of medicine, such as for
injections into joints for orthopedic ailments. Although relatively new
for hair treatment, it has shown much promise through anecdotal evidence
and case studies.



As with any procedure,
patients differ in their responses to treatment. It is a good option and
is relatively less of a financial investment than hair transplant.
However, you should discuss with your provider about all of your options.

PRP is helpful for a few different types of hair loss, including androgenetic alopecia (male balding) and alopecia areata. A few other types of hair loss can also benefitPRP does not help everyone. It helps 30-40 % of individual's with androgenetic alopecia. To increase density you can also speak to your physician about options such as minoxidil, finasteride and hair transplants

The doctors are probably talking about PRP which I believe does not add anything to the regrowth of hair in balding young men. You should see a doctor and he should give you a prescription for finasteride (Finpecia in India) which in young men will reverse the hair loss possibly to some degree in a year. If it does that, then stay on the medication please for the rest of your life or you will lose your hair again.

There are many doctors that suggest PRP as an option for treatment of male pattern hair loss.  There are no strong scientific proof that PRP can cause increase hair growth in advance genetic MPHL .  You need to see a hair transplant specialist to be evaluated for the cause of your hair loss.  Your best option to regain your hair is hair transplant.

I can certainly give you a perspective about hair loss and the
use of PRP or platelet-rich plasma. Platelet-rich plasma is derived from your
own blood. As a board certified cosmetic surgeon and practicing for over 20
years, I use this in a lot of things I do such is aiding the hair transplant
procedure. Unfortunately, when we’ve used it alone for hair regrowth, it always
had a limited benefit. Platelet-rich plasma can cause limited growth but it
will not stop hair thinning.



I created a hair loss treatment called Hair Regeneration which combines
platelet-rich plasma with acellular matrix. Acellular matrix is used for wound
healing. TrichoStem Hair Regeneration is also a formula and a method of
delivery based on a customized development that is specific for every type of
hair loss that we see. This includes variations within male and female pattern
hair loss depending on the type, degree and age of onset of hair loss.



Blood products when combined appropriately have been remarkably beneficial.
We can treat thinning hair as well as stop the progression. However, we can
only save hairs that are salvageable such as those that are actively thinning.
As a general rule of thumb, we’ve observed that if hair has not been present in
an area for greater than 5 years, then that hair is unsalvageable. So we
advocate early intervention. The earlier we catch someone during their hair
loss process, the more hair we can save and thicken.



Some patients have come to us after they’ve tried PRP injections done
elsewhere. Most of them complain that after a few treatment sessions, they get
tired having it done once every month. They also add that pictures weren’t
taken and that they didn’t know whether or not they were improving. In our
practice, we do very close monitoring of our patients. Hair Regeneration is
very effective as a single treatment. We
have over 5 years of data to support the longevity and sustainability of this
procedure. More impressively, we have been able to demonstrate that Hair
Regeneration in the right candidates can actually exceed the results of not
just 1 transplant but 2 hair transplants. Transplants are done every 5-10 years
and eventually, you’ll run out of the donor area, so patients may or may not
look so good at the end of that. The rate of progression and the degree of loss
is what makes the transplant a limited procedure.



I think you need to make that distinction and get the specifics from
the doctor in India in figuring what exactly their doing and find out the
details. You have to know if whether or not they are using Acellular matrix and
the type of Acellular matrix because there are many different types. The one
we’re using currently is the best in class and has been for years. I hope that
was helpful, I wish you the best of luck, and thank you for your question.
