The Use of Platelet Rich Plasma and Acellular Protein Matrix in the Treatment of Male and Female Pattern Hair Loss: Two Case Reports
نویسنده
چکیده
Hair thinning and loss is a problem for both men and women worldwide. Many patients find that the current options available for treatment are insufficient or too invasive. A novel combination of autologous platelet rich plasma and extracellular matrix derived from porcine urinary bladders has been proposed as a therapeutic option. Two patients who received scalp injections of this combination are presented. Both patients experienced increased hair growth and density. These results warrant further investigation into platelet rich plasma plus acellular matrix as treatment option for hair loss.
