Efficacy of Platelet Rich Plasma as Monotherapy in Treatment of Alopecia Areata

A 33-year-old female with androgenic alopecia experienced alopecia areata patches after PRP treatment. She is seeking others' experiences with PRP worsening alopecia areata.

PRP treatment for hair loss shows some evidence of effectiveness, with HT surgeons using it post-op to promote growth. Microneedling is mentioned as a cheaper alternative.

The user experienced hair loss after chikungunya and started PRF (platelet-rich fibrin) injections with injectable Dutasteride, noticing new hair growth. They are hopeful for continued improvement.

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy for hair loss is expensive, painful, and often ineffective, with mixed reviews on its benefits. Alternatives like minoxidil, finasteride, and hair transplants are suggested as more reliable options.

Someone's brother tried Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) for hair loss; it had minimal effect on hair but improved skin appearance. Microneedling at home was suggested as a more sustainable alternative.

Microneedling and Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) are equally effective for treating androgenetic alopecia, with no additional benefits from PRP over microneedling. Both treatments are safe and well-tolerated.
