January 2023 in “Aesthetic Plastic Surgery” This pilot, open randomized trial compared the efficacy and safety of topical minoxidil 2% alone versus a combination of topical minoxidil 2% and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) in 26 women with female pattern hair loss (FPHL). Both groups showed significant increases in hair density (34.92 ± 8.39 hairs/cm² for the combination group and 31.21 ± 8.30 hairs/cm² for the minoxidil-only group) and significant reductions in hair pull test results. Patient satisfaction scores were similar, with 16.7% in the combination group and 28.6% in the minoxidil-only group reporting high satisfaction. No major side effects were observed. The study concluded that while the combination therapy is effective, it is not superior to minoxidil alone, though PRP may be beneficial for patients with compliance issues related to minoxidil.

May 2021 in “Frontiers in Pharmacology” The systematic review and meta-analysis evaluated the efficacy of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) in treating female androgenic alopecia (FPHL) and included 42 studies with 1,569 cases, of which 776 were female participants. PRP showed positive responses and improvements in hair density compared to baseline and placebo, with minimal adverse effects such as mild pain and bruising at injection sites. The study concluded that PRP is a promising treatment for FPHL, though further high-quality randomized controlled trials are needed to confirm its efficacy due to considerable heterogeneity and publication bias.
