No need for ring blocks for this procedure. Please see an expert for treatment options. Best, Dr. Emer.
In my opinion, a ring block is NOT necessary for injection of PRP. If the injection is done to the proper level, with good technique, and a small syringe is used, patients are usually comfortable. For those that need additional anesthesia, a topical Anesthetic and chiller are often adequate. As I do not use Acell, I cannot comment on necessity for block with this treatment. Find a PRP expert. Look at pictures. Hope this helps. Good luck.

SCarring can be treated with lasers and steroid injections. PRP and acell do not cause scarring. Best, Dr. emer.
This is a difficult question to answer. It is not possible to determine how much effect finasteride has had in retaining and growing your hair. I do believe that the PRP could replace the finasteride , however it is not a certainty. My suggestion would be to start the PRP prior to ...
We have seen excellent results using PRP without performing hair transplant with at least 3 treatments during the first year. If you do not want to use any of the other available medical therapies, this is likely your best option.
