TLDR Platelet-rich plasma treatment is effective for increasing hair thickness and works well for hair density in men with androgenetic alopecia.

The document reviews the effectiveness and side effects of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) treatment for androgenetic alopecia (AAG), analyzing 13 articles, including 4 comparing PRP therapy to Minoxidil. Both treatments were found to be effective and well-tolerated. A meta-analysis showed that PRP significantly increased hair diameter in both men and women, but only significantly increased hair density in men. The majority of the studies reviewed showed positive results for the use of PRP in treating AAG in both sexes.
