    TLDR Activated PRP is unnecessary for treating alopecia areata; both activated and non-activated PRP are equally effective and safe.
    This study evaluated the efficacy and safety of activated versus non-activated platelet-rich plasma (PRP) in treating alopecia areata. Conducted on 40 subjects divided into two groups, each receiving 4 intradermal injections, the research confirmed that PRP is a safe, effective, and well-tolerated treatment for alopecia areata. Additionally, the study found no statistically significant difference between the outcomes of activated and non-activated PRP, suggesting that activation prior to injection is not necessary. This method is also cost-effective and can be performed in outpatient clinics.

      Scalp biopsies are crucial for diagnosing hair loss conditions like Diffuse Unpatterned Alopecia (DUPA) and retrograde hair loss, as treatments like finasteride and dutasteride may not be effective if other conditions are present. Combining PPAR-GAMMA agonists with retinoids could improve treatments for conditions like Lichen Planopilaris.

      Key treatments for hair preservation include minoxidil, finasteride/dutasteride, and microneedling, with additional options like specific shampoos, oils, biotin, zinc, tretinoin, clascoterone, and low-level laser therapy. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle, reducing stress, and addressing nutrient deficiencies can also support hair health.
