Stratifying Clinical Response to Adjuvant Platelet-Rich Plasma in Patients with Androgenetic Alopecia

The study aimed to determine if androgenetic alopecia (AGA) patient response to adjuvant platelet-rich plasma (PRP) can be stratified based on quantitative hair counts after two treatment sessions. The retrospective review included 104 of 588 identified AGA patients who received adjuvant PRP therapy. A positive response to adjuvant PRP was reported in 70.1% of patients after two sessions. The study found that it is possible to use quantitative trichoscopy to stratify therapeutic response to adjuvant PRP after two treatment sessions. The authors hope their findings will help physicians counsel patients on the therapeutic benefit(s) of adjuvant PRP, as well as inform patient decisions regarding further treatment.
