Platelet Rich Plasma PRP hair loss alopecia scalp hair growth

TLDR PRP therapy is a promising hair loss treatment for people with alopecia.

Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy emerged as a promising non-surgical and minimally invasive treatment for hair loss, effective for both men and women, including those with alopecia. The procedure involved drawing a small amount of the patient's blood, processing it to concentrate the platelets, and injecting the PRP into the scalp to stimulate hair growth. Advantages included minimal pain, a quick one-hour session, and no visible signs of treatment, with results typically appearing within 6 months to a year. Patients often required 3 initial treatments spaced a month apart, followed by maintenance sessions 2 to 3 times per year.
