research Platelet-Rich Plasma and Micrografts Enriched with Autologous Human Follicle Mesenchymal Stem Cells Improve Hair Regrowth in Androgenetic Alopecia: Biomolecular Pathway Analysis and Clinical Evaluation
PRP and HF-MSCs treatment improves hair growth, thickness, and density in androgenetic alopecia.
research Impact of Different Preparation Methods to Obtain Autologous Non-Activated Platelet-Rich Plasma and Activated Platelet-Rich Plasma in Plastic Surgery: Wound Healing and Hair Regrowth Evaluation
Different methods of preparing Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) can affect wound healing and hair regrowth in plastic surgery. Using a kit with specific standards helps isolate PRP that meets quality criteria. Non-Activated PRP and Activated PRP have varying effects depending on the tissue and condition treated. For hair regrowth, Non-Activated PRP increased hair density more than Activated PRP. Both treatments improved various aspects of scalp health.
