Abstract: This study investigates the effect of Platelet Rich Plasma PRP on hair regrowth in patients suffering from pattern hair loss. A total of 30 patients were selected, with PRP prepared from a small volume of their blood and injected into their scalps. The treatment was administered three times at 30 - day intervals. The endpoints were hair regrowth, hair dystrophy as measured by dermoscopy, and comparison of global photographs. The results showed clinical improvement in the mean number of hairs, with no side effects noted during treatment. However, 4 patients reported progressive hair loss 16 months after the last treatment. The study concludes that PRP may serve as a safe and effective treatment option against hair loss, and it works synergistically with other topical drugs like finasteride and minoxidil for hair regeneration.
