WORTH IT
I met Dr. Melamed, late last year, via a co-worker of mine who referred me to him as 'an excellent doctor with whom to speak about hair loss.' I have been treating my hair loss - very successfully - for some time, using low level laser therapy. At the same time, I have very powerful genetics, in so far as a predisposition for hair loss and thus, was working to regrow hair in the frontal region of my scalp, where some thinning still remained. I knew that a 'combination therapy' (laser + another treatment) would be better for me, long-term. I met with Dr. Melamed, in January of this year (2016), and he introduced me to PRP for hair restoration - I had been somewhat skeptical about the efficacy of the treatment when it was first coming onto the medical 'scene,' but have been doing my research and engaging with physicians in the field who are experiencing significant results and now am a true believer. I knew that Dr. Melamed is a leading authority in the field of hair loss research, especially in regards to photo-biostimulation (laser therapy) and PRP and thus, I took the plunge and began treatments. I cannot say enough good things about my experience, thus far: the PRP treatments and results, themselves, as well as about Dr. Melamed. Dr. Melamed and his wife, Lisa, are incredibly kind, engaging people. As a medical sales rep, I can attest that not all physicians are as approachable, nor as REAL as is Dr. Melamed; on top of his positive and very friendly personality, Dr. Melamed is an expert on alopecia and its treatments and I am very grateful to have discovered him. I have so far had 4 PRP treatments, primarily focused on the frontal (hairline) and temporal regions of my scalp. I am seeing new, terminal hairs now growing in the temporal region and my hair line is thickening, significantly. * I will be posting before and after photos, shortly* Dr. Melamed is now going to work on my mid-scalp region, where I have some diffuse thinning and I look forward to reporting my results and posting photos, soon. I recommend that any hair loss patient in the southern California region visit Dr. Melamed and Lisa for a consult and consider a combination therapy that works for both hair maintenance and for actual hair regrowth: laser therapy + PRP. No drugs. No surgery. Regrow your hair. If you are considering PRP for Hair Loss, Dr. Melamed is THE MAN.

Thanks for your post ... What is the cost for your treatments ..Also I have had a PRP treatment in Sept of 2015 from Dr Buaman in Boca Raton ,Fl. I was very skeptical at 1st as well but have been pleasantly surprised By the results ..shedding has minimalized and I noticed some thinner areas have more density.. He told me I only need 1 treatment per year at 2500.00 ..I'm going back in May for a follow up .. Dr Bauman and his staff are excellent in the hair replacement field he has a full service state of the art hair clinic ...I recommend him to anyone on the east coast..

I agree. Bauman is fantastic. I have met him, personally. Glad you have been met with success.

Not to rude, but if it works so well how come he doesn't do it to himself? Just seriously curious and considering it for myself. He obviously has hair loss, shouldn't he use it on himself, show it works and then use it on patients.

That would be a question for the doctor. I have met and worked with several of the leading authorities in hair loss, on both the east and west coast. Among them, several are completely bald.

I agree and I have been using it. My hair loss was much more significant. Using PRP and laser I have successfully regenerated my hair. Thanks for asking

Hi Civen, PRP for hair restoration will vary between $1500-2000. Most patients will be at the lower price range, and the variance is based on the number of treatments and the extent (area) of hair loss. If you are in the greater Los Angeles area, then please come to my office for additional information.
