Overall, I'm done with PRP after about 14 months. So I've finally scheduled an appointment for surgery this summer. I will make another post dedicated to that soon.

So at this point I can't lie and say that I'm not discouraged. Either my expectations were too high, I'm not suitable for the treatment, there's still more time needed, or a combination of all three. From what was being fed to me I at least though that my existing hairs would be very thick and the dormant hairs would have grown much longer. If this was a transplant, I believe I would be seeing at least 70% of the results by now, but I really can't tell if this treatment is doing anything at this point. The physicians are basically saying to give a little more time. I'm going to try and stay positive until at least the year mark.

You should have just gone to see Dr. Maral in Istanbul for the price you must have paid.

That's EXACTLY what I've been thinking and planning. It actually would've cost less than what I paid, including travel. Its all a learning experience though

I'm still in the investigatory process myself. I'm also considering Hungary and Romania as options. A bit more expensive than Turkey but also no terrorism to worry about.

I've seen several results from others who had theirs done in New Dehli. Turkey is a great option despite the terrorism haha. The market in these other countries is almost unbelievable.

I hear Bucharest is a great time, so that piqued my interest even more. I also have a few Romanian doctor friends that say it will be high quality there.

Agreed. It's about 16-17 months since my hair transplant with Maral and I'm VERY happy with my results. Maybe I do PRP to thicken up the crown but everything else is perfect. Highly recommend Dr Maral.

Dude Istanbul and Turkey isn't that scary. I'm a white man with a sleeve tattoo and no one bothered me or looked wrong at me. In fact Turkey was awesome, great people, and the food was amazing.

What comment are you talking about? The one that says it's too expensive of a procedure and they should go to Instanbul for treatment? You really think you are going to lose patients that are going to spend money to travel to Instanbul Turkey where they just had terrorist bombs going off at the airport?? If this is the comment you feel is inappropriate give me a break. I guess you will remove my comment too lol. If it's another comment that you are talking about please accept my apology.

im considering this process myself. Theres is definite improvement show in your pictures. However, at 3000 dollars, im not sure if the improvement is worth it for me personally. I hope your experience improves with time.

Thanks for the review and pictures. I would have to agree that it doesn't seem like there is any growth at all (which is what I would consider this treatment for). However, if stability is a goal and you would have lost even more hair w/out PRP, it may have been worth the money...how would you know though??? :)

Yeah it's hard to really tell but I probably could have saved that same amount of money for a transplant.

Thank you for this information. It looks like we have the same hair type and I was considering PRP since my dermatoligist now does it. I am having 2nd thoughts now and maybe should man up and look at the transplant

Yeah definitely don't jump right into it. Ask your dermatologist for pictures of other guys with YOUR hair type, and if you can actually get their contact info so you can talk to them. I jumped too quick because I started panicking at my shock loss. From what I've found out, PRP is more suited for people who don't have male genetic hair loss (women, people with transplants).

From what my doctor stated, and reviews from others, the general consensus is that results won't truly show until around the 4th or 5th month mark. Though, it seemed as though I was beginning to see a lot of growth at this point. Compared to my first picture, the already existing hairs look longer and thicker. I'm going to stay positive assume this isn't just my hopefulness skewing my imagination.
