    TLDR Injectable platelet-rich fibrin improves hair growth and reduces hair loss in women.
    This study evaluated the efficacy of injectable platelet-rich fibrin (i-PRF+) for treating female pattern hair loss (FPHL) in 11 participants. Significant improvements were observed in hair density, with a mean increase of 62% at 12 weeks and 97% at 24 weeks. Hair pull tests showed a reduction in hair shedding, and clinical photography confirmed increased hair thickness and fullness. Participants reported new hair growth and reduced hair loss within weeks of treatment, along with improved quality of life (QoL) scores. Adverse effects were minimal and transient. The study suggests i-PRF+ is a safe and effective treatment for FPHL, though further research is needed to standardize protocols and compare it with other treatments.
