November 2024 in “Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology” This study investigated the effects of combining platelet-rich plasma (PRP) with minoxidil and finasteride/spironolactone in hair transplantation for androgenetic alopecia (AGA). Conducted from August 2019 to December 2022, it involved 30 patients divided into an experimental group, which received PRP injections alongside drug therapy and hair transplantation, and a control group, which received only drug therapy with hair transplantation. The results showed that the experimental group had significantly better follicle survival rates, follicle growth rates, and hair strength compared to the control group. The study concludes that PRP, when used with pharmacological support during follicular unit extraction (FUE) treatment for AGA, enhances hair transplantation outcomes.
