    TLDR PRFM may help treat hair loss, especially in mild cases.
    The study investigated the use of Platelet-Rich Fibrin Matrix (PRFM) for treating androgenetic alopecia. The study involved 19 patients, and the results showed that patients with more modest degrees of hair loss were more likely to notice improvement. The study found that the value at the 2- and 3-month follow-up visits were statistically higher than pretreatment. The study concluded that PRFM may be a valuable tool in the treatment of androgenetic alopecia, but more patients are required to verify if the trend is statistically significant.

      The user's hair regrowth plan includes topical treatments (RU58841, azelaic acid, ketoconazole), oral supplements (Gia Herbs, castor oil), microneedling, PTD-DBM peptide with valproic acid, red light therapy, inversion table with scalp massage, and platelet-rich fibrin injections. Commenters suggest that finasteride and minoxidil are essential treatments for male pattern hair loss, which are missing from the plan.

      Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy for hair loss is expensive, painful, and often ineffective, with mixed reviews on its benefits. Alternatives like minoxidil, finasteride, and hair transplants are suggested as more reliable options.
