Injection Therapies for Hair Loss in a Cosmetic Practice

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy is a promising non-surgical treatment for hair loss, utilizing the regenerative properties of platelets to stimulate hair growth. PRP is injected into the scalp, where it may promote hair follicle growth, extend the anagen phase, and reduce hair miniaturization. Studies show varying improvements in hair density and growth, but optimal preparation and protocols are still under research. PRP's effectiveness can be influenced by patient selection and hair loss severity, and it may be combined with other treatments for better results. Future research aims to refine protocols and identify predictors for individual responses to PRP therapy.
