Platelet-Rich Plasma PRP hair growth in vitro William’s E medium

TLDR Platelet Rich Plasma can help human hair grow in a lab setting.

In a study from 2013, the effects of Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) on hair growth were evaluated in vitro using four different culture media. Hair shaft elongation was measured over a period of 96 hours. The results showed that hair cultured with William’s E medium supplemented with factors and PRP exhibited higher growth compared to the other media tested. This suggests that PRP can stimulate human hair growth in vitro. The specific number of hair samples or the statistical significance of the results were not provided in the summary.
