Autologous Platelet-Rich Plasma Injection Therapy

The document from September 25, 2017, presents autologous Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) injection therapy as a promising treatment for pattern hair loss, with studies showing improvements in hair count and thickness. One study reported a 29.2% increase in hair counts and a 46.4% increase in hair thickness after PRP treatments, while another involving 20 patients with male pattern hair loss showed an increase of 33.6 hairs in the target area and an increase of 45.9 hairs/cm² in hair density, with minimal side effects and no significant relapse within 12 months. The document suggests that PRP therapy could be more widely used if the preparation and injection methods are standardized, although further studies are needed to confirm its efficacy and safety.
