December 2018 in “Вестник Российской Военно-медицинской академии” The study investigated the clinical efficacy of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) in treating 22 men with androgenic alopecia. Patients received intradermal PRP injections over 4 sessions at 4-week intervals. Results showed significant improvements: hair density increased by 11%, average hair diameter by 10%, and a 14% decrease in the proportion of vellus hair. Histological analysis revealed a 148% increase in hair follicle density at the bulb level and a 65% increase at the sweat gland level. Additionally, there was a 47% reduction in telogen hair. These findings indicated that PRP therapy led to significant morphofunctional changes in hair follicles, supporting its clinical efficacy in treating androgenic alopecia.
