May 2021 in “F1000Research” This case series treated three male patients with androgenic alopecia using a combination of autologous stromal vascular fraction cells (SVFs) and platelet-rich plasma (PRP). The treatment involved scalp injections and resulted in denser, thicker hair growth and minimal hair loss after 1-3 months. The study concluded that SVFs' multipotent properties and growth factor secretion enhanced hair growth cycles, suggesting this combination therapy could be a promising treatment for androgenic alopecia and potentially other types of alopecia. Further long-term studies were recommended to confirm these findings.
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.
