Summary

This trial will test if injecting platelet-rich plasma (PRP) into the scalp can help people with androgenetic alopecia (a common type of hair loss) regrow hair. PRP is made from a person's own blood and contains high levels of natural growth factors. The goal is to see if these growth factors can stimulate hair growth without the side effects of current treatments. PRP has shown promising results in previous studies for treating androgenetic alopecia by stimulating hair growth through its high levels of natural growth factors.
