The study demonstrated that platelet-rich plasma (PRP) significantly promoted the viability and proliferation of human hair dermal papilla cells (HHDPCs) in vitro, particularly at a 5% concentration. PRP also increased the expression of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and versican at both mRNA and protein levels. The study involved 8 healthy volunteers and used MTT assays, qRT-PCR, and Western blot analysis. These findings suggested that PRP could be a potential therapeutic tool for promoting hair follicle regeneration and treating alopecia, although further research is needed to identify the specific growth factors responsible for these effects.

August 2022 in “Journal of Drugs in Dermatology” This study conducted a network meta-analysis and meta-regression to evaluate the efficacy of different platelet-rich plasma (PRP) regimens for treating androgenetic alopecia (AGA). Analyzing 25 trials, the study identified 10 unique PRP regimens and found that increased session frequency and shorter intervals between sessions improved efficacy. Additionally, chemically-activated PRP, double centrifugation, younger patient age, female sex, and whole-head administration were associated with better outcomes. These findings suggest that optimizing these factors can enhance PRP treatment effectiveness for AGA and may help standardize clinical practice guidelines.

September 2022 in “Cureus” The study on 56 patients (57% male, 43% female) over 12 months found that platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a safe and effective treatment for pattern hair loss, with high patient satisfaction (average score 7.29/10) and clinician satisfaction (average score 6.46/10). Patients reported improvements in hair density (64%), new hair growth (57%), and less hair loss (48%), while clinicians observed new hair growth in 68% of cases. No adverse effects were reported, supporting PRP as a valuable option for hair loss treatment, though further randomized controlled studies are recommended.
January 2021 in “Türk plastik cerrahi dergisi” The study evaluated the efficacy and safety of activated platelet-rich plasma (aPRP) in treating androgenetic alopecia (AGA) in 40 male patients, with 35 completing the study. Patients received 5 sessions of aPRP injections, spaced 15 days apart, with aPRP injected into one half of the scalp and placebo in the other half. Results at 1 and 3 months follow-up showed a significant increase in hair count, hair density, and anagen/telogen ratio in the aPRP-treated areas compared to placebo. The study concluded that aPRP is a safe and effective treatment for AGA, with a stabilizing effect on hair fall and potential to prevent progression of alopecia in its early stages. No major side effects were reported, but further studies with larger cohorts and longer follow-up periods were recommended.
