PRP for treating alopecia areata

Our new manuscript to be published in September

In addition to genetic hair loss, platelet rich plasma also an option for treating alopecia areata.

A 2013 study in the British Journal of Dermatology showed the PRP may be as effective as low dose triamcinolone acetonide in treating patchy alopecia areata

I have an interest in understanding the role of PRP in a number of hair loss conditions. In the September 2015 issue of the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology Case Reports, I described a patient with alopecia areata who did not regrow with traditional treatments (steroid injections). The use of platelet tich plasma (PRP) ultimately prompted regrowth of hair.
