TLDR PRP therapy effectively treats hair loss, wrinkles, scars, ulcers, and skin pigmentation disorders.
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy has significantly advanced in dermatology, effectively treating conditions like alopecia, ulcers, skin rejuvenation, acne, and scars. Studies show PRP promotes hair growth in androgenic alopecia and alopecia areata, enhances collagen production for better skin texture, and improves scar healing when combined with microneedling or subcision. PRP also aids in healing chronic ulcers and repigmenting vitiligo patches, reducing the need for invasive procedures by leveraging its anti-inflammatory properties and growth factors for tissue regeneration.
PRP injections can effectively and safely treat alopecia areata.
