In 2022, I had a hair transplant on areas A-B (front and middle of my head). The following year, I followed my clinic’s protocol: topical minoxidil and finasteride twice a day, along with PRP treatments every 1-2 months. After one year, I was very pleased with the results.

However, I stopped the protocol, and within 5–6  
months, my hair started thinning again. After a year, my hair had deteriorated  
significantly. So, I restarted minoxidil, finasteride, and PRP. After 4–5  
months, my hair improved significantly, making it clear that I needed to follow  
the protocol for life. 

Due to financial issues, I stopped again. As  
expected, my hair started thinning once more. This time, I decided to continue  
with only topical minoxidil and finasteride twice a day for 8 months, but my  
results were very poor. I realized I wasn’t a good responder to minoxidil and  
finasteride alone(first photo). That’s when I decided to make my own PRP, as  
clinic sessions were too expensive. 

After researching extensively, I discovered  
that PRP is actually a low-cost procedure. I purchased a €350 centrifuge and,  
after many trials, i successfully learned how to prepare PRP at home using the  
double spin method, because according to research, achieves significantly  
higher concentration of platelets. 

Just to know that if your prp is ready in 15  
minutes, you more likely receiving single spin prp. Another way to check this ,  
is to see the volume of blood that is drawn. If prp is half the volume of  
blood, again, you receive single spin prp. Over 10 months, I did 6 PRP sessions  
and saw great results. From the second session, I reduced minoxidil and  
finasteride to once a day. 

After 10 months (see second photo), my hair  
remained stable. Now, I do 1 PRP session every 3–4 months. Since injecting  
myself was difficult, my girlfriend does the injections. I managed to inject  
the front and some of the middle, but reaching the back was too hard. I’m  
considering alternative methods, like:

Applying PRP topically after using a 2mm derma  
stamp.

Using a mesogun, which is much easier.

Although these methods might be less effective,  
some clinics actually use them. After all this experience, I decided to create  
a full detailed video explaining PRP basics and demonstrating two preparation  
techniques for both PRP types(red/amber). I cover every step in detail,  
including injections performed by my girlfriend. I uploaded the video on selfy,  
where you can also see my 10-month timeline in detail, and a free promo video.

Make sure to read the description! This is MY  
personal experience, and performing medical procedures on yourself carries  
risks. This video is for educational purposes only—its goal is to help you  
understand what you're paying for when getting PRP treatments
