Platelet rich plasma is a source of growth factors recently introduced to treat androgenetic alopecia (AGA) with conflicting results. Our aims are to assess the efficacy of platelet rich plasma in increasing hair density in males with AGA, and to investigate a correlation between positive response and each of patient's age and type and duration of AGA.This before and after study included 30 males with no history of hair treatments for at least 3 months prior to our study. Each patient received 3 injections at one-month intervals. Scalp hair density of each subject was measured manually by a dermatoscope before and following 2 and 6 months of the first intervention. Data were compared to evaluate efficacy.Hair density was increased by 19.17% following our intervention (172.46±59.04 hairs/cmPlatelet rich plasma injections for men with AGA has a positive effect on hair density. |
