TLDR Platelet-rich plasma helps treat post-COVID-19 hair loss and boosts self-esteem.

The document discussed the impact of COVID-19 on hair loss, noting that about 1/3 of patients with a positive diagnosis experienced this issue, likely due to fever spikes. It explored the use of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) as a treatment, highlighting its growth factors like PDGF, TGF-beta, and VEGF, which promoted hair growth and follicular cell survival. The review aimed to examine the role of aesthetic biomedicine professionals in restoring patient self-esteem through PRP treatment, from biological material collection to procedure execution, and to assess the benefits of PRP in treating post-COVID-19 hair loss.
