September 2020 in “ Georg Thieme Verlag eBooks ”

platelet-rich plasma microneedling androgenic alopecia alopecia areata discoid lupus stratum corneum PRP

TLDR Microneedling with PRP can boost hair growth in certain hair loss conditions.

The chapter discussed the use of microneedling combined with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections as a treatment for hair growth in individuals with androgenic alopecia, alopecia areata, and discoid lupus. It was found that microneedling increased the absorption of PRP by up to 5 times due to the creation of microchannels in the stratum corneum. The chapter provided guidance on evaluation, patient selection, and procedural steps for effectively using PRP and microneedling in treating hair loss.
