Effect of 10% Calcium Gluconate on the Activation of Platelet-Rich Plasma Obtained at Different Centrifugation Conditions on the Expression of Platelet Derived Growth Factor-BB (PDGF-BB)

This review suggests that while platelet-rich plasma has the most robust clinical evidence, platelet-rich fibrin and concentrated growth factors are gaining favor due to their ease of use and absence of additives.

This study found that platelet-rich plasma prepared using a double-spin method may be more effective for treating female pattern hair loss than single-spin PRP, although VEGF concentration was unaffected by either preparation method.

This study found that platelet-rich plasma significantly increased hair diameter in both men and women with androgenetic alopecia but improved hair density only in men.

This review discusses the use of platelet-rich plasma for treating female androgenetic alopecia, reporting that it shows high patient satisfaction and improved quality of life in affected women.

This study observed that among male patients who experienced telogen effluvium after platelet-rich plasma treatment for androgenic alopecia, there were elevated levels of TNF-α, androgen receptors, and altered 5α-reductase gene expression, suggesting these factors as potential contributors to this unintended outcome.
