December 2022 in “Journal of Clinical Medicine” The study investigated a novel PRP treatment protocol for androgenetic alopecia in 2 male patients, showing significant improvements in hair growth metrics, including a 30-59% increase in the average number of hairs, a 35-53% increase in cumulative hair thickness, and a 14-48% increase in the number of follicular units in the vertex region. The results suggest the new PRP regimen is effective, though further studies with larger sample sizes are needed to confirm these findings.
September 2021 in “Ukraïnsʹkij žurnal medicini, bìologìï ta sportu” The study investigated the concentrations of interleukin-17A, interleukin-2, and interleukin-10 in 37 patients with alopecia areata before and after treatment with platelet-rich plasma (PRP). Results showed that levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines interleukin-17A and interleukin-2 were significantly higher in patients before treatment. After 17 months of PRP therapy, these levels approached those of the control group. There was no initial difference in interleukin-10 levels between patients and healthy individuals, but interleukin-10 levels increased after 3 and 17 months of treatment.
