Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy is a treatment that utilizes components of a patient’s own blood to promote healing and encourage hair growth in conditions such as androgenetic alopecia, commonly known as male or female pattern baldness. PRP therapy involves injecting concentrated platelets, which contain growth factors, into the scalp to stimulate hair follicles. However, the effectiveness of PRP therapy can be significantly diminished in individuals with high levels of dihydrotestosterone (DHT).

The efficacy of PRP therapy is highly variable and often inconsistent due to the differences in preparation methods. However, this process has no standardized procedure, leading to variations in platelet concentration and quality across different treatments.
