Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Pilot Study on the Use of Platelet-Rich Plasma in Women With Female Androgenetic Alopecia

This document is a comment on a previous study that investigated the use of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) in women with female androgenetic alopecia (AGA). The authors of the comment highlight their own study, which included 13 female patients with AGA and demonstrated statistically significant improvement in mean anagen hairs, telogen hairs, hair density, and terminal hair density at 3 months and 6 months, when compared with baseline. They also mention a commentary that referenced their study and used a half-head design comparing symmetrical left and right target areas. The authors conclude that PRP is a potential treatment for female patients with AGA, although more research is needed.
