January 2020 in “International Journal of Trichology” The study compared microneedling (MN) alone versus microneedling with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) in treating male pattern alopecia in 30 male patients using a split-head design. Both treatments significantly increased hair thickness and density, with MN alone showing a greater increase in thickness and MN + PRP showing a greater increase in density. However, the differences were not statistically significant. Both treatments were effective, safe, and well-tolerated, but PRP did not provide additional benefits over MN alone. The study was limited by its small sample size and lack of long-term follow-up.

October 2021 in “Dermatologic Therapy” The study compared the effectiveness of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) application using dermapen microneedling and intradermal point-by-point injection methods in patients with androgenetic alopecia. Clinical findings and Trichoscan analysis were used to evaluate the outcomes. The results indicated that both methods significantly improved hair density and thickness, but the dermapen microneedling method showed slightly better results in terms of patient satisfaction and hair regrowth. The study suggests that PRP application, particularly through microneedling, can be a promising treatment for androgenetic alopecia.
