Use of Autologous Platelet-Rich Plasma in Androgenetic Alopecia in Women: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

This review synthesizes existing research on autologous platelet-rich plasma for treating androgenetic alopecia, suggesting its promise with standardized protocols and personalized approaches, but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that autologous platelet-rich plasma injections may improve terminal hair density in women with androgenetic alopecia, but did not significantly affect hair thickness.

This study found that Lepidium sativum seed extract showed potential in treating alopecia in rats by reducing 5(alpha)-dihydrotestosterone levels and improving hair length compared to minoxidil.

This retrospective study found that applying local skin precooling before scalp nerve block significantly reduced injection site pain during PRP mesotherapy for patients with androgenetic alopecia, compared to those who did not receive precooling, thus improving patient comfort and compliance.

This study found that platelet-rich plasma significantly increased hair diameter in both men and women with androgenetic alopecia but improved hair density only in men.
