Platelet Rich Plasma Versus Minoxidil on Hair Growth in Male Albino Rat Model of Androgenic Alopecia. Histological and Immunohistochemical study

Abstract

Background: Androgenic alopecia (AGA) is the commonest cause of hair loss in men with limited treatment options. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is defined as an autologous concentration of plasma with a greater count of platelets than that of whole blood. Its action depends on the released growth factors from platelets. It has been investigated and used in numerous fields of medicine. Recently, PRP has received growing attention as a potential therapeutic tool for hair loss. Aim of the work: This study aimed at comparing the efficacy of PRP therapy with minoxidil therapy in experimentally induced AGA in adult male albino rats.
