Evaluation of the Effect of Autologous Platelet-Rich Plasma on Androgenic Alopecia

In this study of patients with Androgenic Alopecia, micro-grafts containing HD-AFSCs resulted in significantly improved hair density and follicle count over 11 months compared to a saline solution, suggesting a potential alternative therapy for hair regrowth.

This study reported that using human follicle stem cells isolated from hair bulge areas increased hair density by about 29% over baseline in patients with androgenetic alopecia, with significant improvements observed 23 weeks after the last treatment.

This study found that platelet-rich plasma injections significantly improved hair density, thickness, and patient satisfaction in women with female pattern hair loss compared to a placebo.

This systematic review and meta-analysis found that minoxidil, finasteride, and low-level laser light therapy significantly improve hair growth in men with androgenetic alopecia, while minoxidil is also effective for women, compared to placebo.

This study found that platelet-rich plasma did not significantly improve hair mass index or hair count in women with female androgenetic alopecia, though some patients perceived benefits in hair quality.

This study found that platelet-rich plasma was not effective in treating androgenetic alopecia in men with grade 4–6 hair loss.

This review found that low-level laser therapy appears promising in improving hair regrowth and patient satisfaction in androgenetic alopecia, though results should be interpreted cautiously.

This review discusses various classification systems for patterned hair loss in both sexes and reports no new clinical findings, highlighting the Hamilton-Norwood and Ludwig systems as the most commonly used.

This study found that platelet-rich plasma injections significantly increased hair count and density in patients with male pattern hair loss without major side effects, suggesting it may be a safe and effective treatment option.

This study found that platelet-rich plasma injections led to improvements in hair counts, thickness, and strength in patients with androgenic alopecia, showing promise as an effective treatment with no major adverse effects.

This pilot study suggests injecting platelet-derived growth factors into the scalp may offer some clinical benefits for androgenetic alopecia, though further randomized trials are needed for confirmation.

This review concluded that oral finasteride for men and topical minoxidil for both genders have the most evidence supporting their effectiveness and safety for treating androgenetic alopecia.

This study found that low-level laser treatment with the HairMax Lasercomb significantly increased terminal hair density in both men and women with pattern hair loss, with no serious adverse events reported.

This study reported that AA-PRP injections significantly increased hair count and density in individuals with pattern hair loss compared to baseline, demonstrating their potential for enhancing hair growth.

This study found that PRP injections may improve hair density and reduce hair loss in patients with androgenetic alopecia without significant side effects, but further research is needed to confirm efficacy.

In this study using a mouse model, the researchers found that platelet-rich plasma significantly increased the number of newly formed hair follicles and decreased the time for hair formation compared to no treatment.

This study found that the cross-section trichometer (HairCheck device) can accurately and sensitively measure hair mass index changes, offering a convenient tool for assessing hair density and diameter in patients with alopecia.

This study found that the BASP classification is an effective and easily remembered method for diagnosing and treating male and female pattern hair loss in the Indian population.

This study found that complaints of hair loss among adult female dermatology patients were associated with a higher prevalence of depression symptoms.

This study found that autologous platelet-rich plasma increased hair growth potential by enhancing dermal papilla cell proliferation and stimulating key signaling pathways in both cell cultures and mice models.

This study reported that trichoscopy is a more effective diagnostic tool than the trichogram for early diagnosis of FAGA, regardless of hair shaft diversity cut-off levels.

This study found that PRP combined with dalteparin and protamine microparticles may enhance hair growth by increasing hair thickness compared to PRP alone.

In this study, platelet plasma growth factors from patients' autologous plasma improved follicular unit yield in baldness surgery by 15.1% compared to control areas.
