February 2023 in “International Journal of Biological Macromolecules” August 2020 in “International Journal of Dermatology and Venereology” The study assessed the effectiveness and safety of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections for treating androgenetic alopecia (AA) in 20 women in Qatar. Participants underwent six PRP sessions at 4-week intervals, resulting in a significant improvement in alopecia severity, with the mean SALT score decreasing from 27.75 ± 6.35 to 9.41 ± 3.71, a 33.94% improvement. No serious adverse effects were reported, only mild and transient side effects like headache and temporary pain. The study concluded that PRP is an effective and safe treatment for AA in women, but larger and longer-term studies are needed to confirm these findings and establish standardized treatment protocols.

November 2022 in “Frontiers in Medicine” This systematic review assessed the efficacy of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) in treating alopecia areata (AA) and primary cicatricial alopecias (PCAs) by analyzing 32 studies with 621 AA patients and 19 PCA patients. PRP showed promising results in AA, especially in mild cases, with better efficacy than placebo and similar efficacy to intralesional triamcinolone acetonide (TA). PRP also had benefits as an adjunctive treatment. However, its efficacy in PCAs was less clear due to limited studies and variable responses. The review emphasizes the need for more high-quality, randomized controlled trials to confirm PRP's therapeutic potential in these conditions.
