TLDR PRP therapy improves hair density and thickness in AGA patients, even with other treatments.
This document is a compilation of summaries of various studies that investigated the effectiveness of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy in treating androgenetic alopecia (AGA) in combination with other hair restoration therapies. The studies found that PRP therapy can increase hair density and thickness in AGA patients, and the positive effects are maintained during combination therapy with other hair restoration modalities such as minoxidil and finasteride. However, the studies had limitations such as small sample sizes and retrospective designs, and further research is needed to confirm the findings. Overall, PRP therapy can be a useful treatment option for AGA patients in dermatologic clinics.
