Can Infusion of Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) Reverse Miniaturization of Non-Transplanted Hair? YES!
Case Study
This 26 year old patient was unable to take finasteride (Propecia™) do to side effects. Hair transplantation was done in the anterior hair line and the posterior crown was traumatized with a 1 mm micro needling roller (Clinical Resolutions, Inc, Beverly Hills) and platelet rich plasma (PRP) concentration was injected. Fig 1 below was before and Fig 2 was the patient 8 months later.
This photo illustrates that mild trauma and the infusion of high concentrations of Platelet Rich Plasma "PRP" reversed miniaturization of this patient’s hair in eight months.
