Platelet-rich Plasma and Cell Therapy: The New Horizon in Hair Loss Treatment.

Current medicinal therapies for treating hair loss have shortcomes due to variability and ineffectiveness, noncompliance, and adverse effects. The prevalence of hair loss and its associated negative psychological impact have driven research into regenerative medicine approaches, such as platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and cell-based therapies, in an attempt to find alternative, safe, effective, and reproducible treatments. Current research shows promising results from these therapies; however, more robust trials are needed to confirm the reported efficacies of PRP and cell-based therapies. Moreover, standardization of treatment preparation as well as dose and regimen are needed.
