platelet-rich plasma PRP growth factors cytokines PDGF EGF VEGF TGF-β hair growth hair density

TLDR Platelet-rich plasma, which has growth factors, is used in many medical fields and can promote tissue repair, stimulate hair growth, and increase hair density.

The document discusses the use of platelet-rich plasma (PRP), a concentration of platelets in plasma, in various clinical trials. PRP, which contains significant growth factors and cytokines like PDGF, EGF, VEGF, TGF-β, has been shown to promote tissue repair and regeneration. It is currently used in various medical fields such as orthopedics, plastic surgery, dermatology, dentistry, musculoskeletal, and obstetrics-gynecology. In the context of hair loss, PRP has been found to stimulate hair growth and increase hair density. However, more large-scale studies are needed to confirm these findings and establish standardized protocols for PRP use.
