Injecting a person's own skin cells back into their skin is a promising, safe, and affordable treatment for skin disorders.
January 2022 in “International Journal of Trichology” The study evaluated the efficacy of minoxidil, platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy, and their combination in treating androgenetic alopecia (AGA) in 69 men. Participants were divided into three groups: 25 received both minoxidil and PRP, 22 received only PRP, and 22 received only minoxidil. Results showed that the combination therapy significantly improved hair density by 32%, hair shaft diameter by 26%, reduced vellus hair by 30%, and decreased telogen hair by 39%, outperforming the monotherapies. The findings suggest that PRP and minoxidil enhance each other's effects, making their combined use a promising treatment for AGA.
January 2021 in “Journal of cosmetology & trichology” PRP therapy can be effective for early-stage common hair loss, with most patients seeing improvement, but there are inconsistencies in treatment methods.
The study concluded that combining a lotion containing growth-factor-like peptides and taurine with autologous platelet-rich plasma (PRP) treatment was more effective in treating androgenic alopecia (AGA) than PRP treatment alone. The trial involved 30 participants (18 men and 12 women) over 3 months, with 20 receiving both PRP and the lotion (Group A) and 10 receiving only PRP (Group B). Group A showed significantly better improvements in hair density and thickness, with higher Investigator Global Assessment (IGA) scores and lower Hamilton Scale Grading (HSG) scores compared to Group B. The lotion was well tolerated with no serious side effects reported.
