January 2020 in “Annals of maxillofacial surgery” The retrospective study evaluated the efficacy of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and concentrated growth factor (CGF) in treating androgenetic alopecia.

However, the study did not specify the number of participants involved, which is crucial for assessing the strength of the evidence.
January 2020 in “International Journal of Trichology” This case report described a 58-year-old male with temporal triangular alopecia (TTA) treated with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections. The treatment involved 5 monthly sessions of 2 ml PRP injections. Dermoscopic follow-up showed an increase in the number and thickness of vellus hairs, but the overall clinical improvement was unsatisfactory, with hair thinning recurring 6 months after treatment discontinuation. The study concluded that PRP might not be a suitable treatment for TTA due to its transient response and limited efficacy. Further research was recommended to explore better treatment options for TTA.
