TLDR PRP can help hair growth, but results vary and need standard methods.
The document discussed the use of autologous platelet-rich plasma (PRP) in hair restoration surgery. It highlighted that the efficacy of PRP is linked to the biological activity within the platelet releasate, which contains growth factors that can potentially stimulate hair growth. However, it was noted that not all PRP preparations are the same, and their effectiveness can vary. The article emphasized the need for standardized protocols to ensure consistent results in hair restoration treatments using PRP.
