TLDR PRP treatment helps reduce hair loss in post-COVID-19 patients.
The study observed an increase in hair loss among patients recovering from COVID-19, specifically anagen effluvium. Twenty post-COVID-19 patients were treated with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) over three months. After the second treatment, patients reported reduced hair loss, and by the third treatment, their condition had nearly normalized. The study concluded that there is a connection between COVID-19 and subsequent hair loss, and PRP treatment was found to be safe with minimal side effects.
