Answer: There is no permanent cure for genetic male pattern balding. There is no permanent cure for genetic male pattern balding. If you understand this fact, you can make a better informed decision. Drugs such as Propecia and Rogaine work to slow the hair loss process. In the first few years it may even seem to reverse the process, but over the long term your genetic predisposition will win out. Other treatments such as PRP, laser treatments, or supplements do not work. There is no medical proof in this. Many doctor offer it and some people may say it "seem to help" but it does not mean it is a cure. Hair transplant surgery is also not a "cure", but it does give you cosmetic results since it is moving permanent hair from one location to another location.Before considering any treatment options (surgical or non-surgical) see a doctor. The Internet is a great source of general information but it may end up giving you conflicting answers and cause confusion.

Answer: PRP vs FUE It is important to distinguish the differences between Maintenance vs Restoration. PRP falls in the maintenance category and will focus on stopping further hair loss while Restoration will focus on adding back lost hair. They are both serve different purposes and anyone who does restoration should really do maintenance as well; whereas someone may decide to start maintenance at the first signs of hair loss when they may not need restoration yet. For restoration I prefer the Robotic ARTAS system, and for maintenance I have my patients choose between my clinical PRP monthly membership, good low level laser therapy, or oral pills. Very Best, Dr. Rome

Answer: Does PRP really work? PRP is being performed by many hair loss specialists around the world. I have done research about it and there is no scientific evidence that links PRP to successful hair restoration. In the cases done, some patients observe minor positive changes while for others its a complete waste of resources. Because of this uncertainty, I would not advise you to go through with it. You should visit a hair loss specialist doctor, who will advise you on what medication you can use to slow down the hair loss after physical examination.

Answer: Can dead hair follicles regrow? There is a difference between inactive follicles and dead follicles. Dead follicles are dead, but inactive follicles can be stimulated to grow with cellular therapy such as PRP. In male pattern baldness, as hair begins to thin, many changes are happening over time. The thinning hair follicles are undergoing cellular changes which cause them to shrink and become inactive. If intervention happens before complete inactivation, then cellular therapy can begin to reverse some of the processes of hair loss by stimulating the follicle to grow again. The sooner the intervention the better however since once the follicle is completely inactivated, it becomes less reactive to PRP or cellular therapy. Your pictures indicate you are at a critical time when intervention would be most helpful.
