Dr. Prasad (NYC) PRP + Acell - verdict?
- Thread starter Scrappy
- Start date
Need to stabilize my hair before getting a transplant (I'm NW4 or so, baldspot is particularly bad). Figure this could do it (and maybe avoid my need for a transplant altogether).
Does anyone know anyone who's seen Prasad? he is more expensive than the other docs, but also seems to claim his treatment is effective for longer than the other docs.
NYC here too.
There are people who grow their hair for years and years without any hair loss. There is no reason why your hair would grow out and then you would lose it 2 years later. Hair has the capability to keep growing for the duration of your life (And beyond.)
Even if I had 5K to blow on this doctor, I wouldn't. Invest your money elsewhere.
You think this guy is losing his hair every 2 years and starting over? Unlikely

yup
I spent 2500 as a med student ( he gave me a 1k discount) on this treatment and it did jack. I also have agressive hair loss and I was 23 at the time post hair transplant. But yea i regret doing it especially now that Im a surgeon and i could pretty much do my own prp

Did you do it with Acell? Was it with Prasad? The acell is supposed to make it much more effective.
Hair Restoration is the only option when you have run out of donor hair. I had a mega session with Dr. Hasson back in 2008 (which went great) but now after 8 years, I need more hair and have not enough donor hair. If you are looking for the cheapest FUT/FUE transplants, go to India and if you really want quality stuff, don't compromise on the costs.
I'm not looking at hair transplants right now; I'm trying to avoid them.

i would consult with other well know NYC hair transplant hair loss Drs before spending $5000
Dr Bernstine Dr Wesly, Dr Unger, Dr Paul, Dr Feller are off top of my head for NYC. I think have seen name Shapiro often.
There is also DR Greco in Florida (not an MD but a PA) who works with PRP for years the women on other hair blogs talk about him a lot in regards to PRP.
I am seeing Dr Wesly right now in NYC and i like him a lot. He's conservative and he never 'pushed' anything on me. His price quote for PRP and Acell was no where near this quote you got.

You could fly to Sarasota and have Dr Greco do your PRP. I think he might be around $1000.00 unless he went up since a few years ago. He was the one that "pioneered" PRP for hair growth. I have heard from some hair loss exports that his method may be the most effective as he has his own growth factors he adds to the matrix. I had it done twice from him. The first time seemed to be more effective than the second time but I heard he has since changed his matrix again to even a better one. I live in Florida and I am tempted to try his new method but with that amount of money I can buy almost a year's worth of Proxiphen and I think they work very similar.
Hi Scrappy,
I am 30 Male and started to getting bald. I am not much interested in Hair Transplant and came across Dr. Prasad (NYC) PRP + Acell. Eager to know if you had any luck in finding out his results. I also live in NY area and just started my hunt for a good PRP specialist. Need your valuable input.
Thanks.
So far among the available options, which treatment is better ?

At age 30 and starting to get bald, I would just use Minoxidil 5% and if that didn't seem effective after 6 months, up the concentration to 12-15%. Then I would hang in there looking forward five years to a Replicel or Tsuji treatment. Save up some money during that time period. I absolutely do not believe PRP done today by anyone is effective enough to warrant the treatment regardless of cost. There will come a time, probably within that five years, where extracellular dna added to a stem cell matrix and PRP will demonstrate androgen resistent follicle growth.
Thanks a ton for introducing me to the future Hair Restoration methods.
I started using Minoxidil 5% 4 years ago. Used for 2 years but did not see any improvement and my hair continued to shed. It also left white scaly patches and was very uncomfortable to go out. Hence I stopped it but continued with Hair Omega vitamin supplement. Nothing is helping me and hair is becoming thin day by day with scalp being visible here and there. Last month I have purchased Hair Max laser head set. Hope it will help me.
