The document reported on the use of injectable platelet-rich fibrin (i-PRF) combined with stem cells for treating alopecia in three patients. The treatment aimed to leverage the regenerative properties of i-PRF and stem cells to promote hair growth. All three patients experienced significant improvement in hair density and thickness, suggesting that this combination therapy could be a promising option for managing alopecia. However, the small sample size of only three patients highlighted the need for larger studies to confirm these findings.
