Abstract
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is an autologous concentration of plasma from a patient’s blood containing platelets up to 7 times higher than normal plasma. Originally indicated to improve connective tissue regeneration in orthopedic surgery, PRP has also proven to be advantageous in the treatment of androgenic alopecia (AGA), alopecia areata (AA), and other forms of non-scarring alopecia.
