The Effect of Plasma Rich in Growth Factors on Androgenic Alopecia

Dermatologic Surgery

TAKE-HOME MESSAGE

• In an attempt to determine the safety and efficacy of autologous growth factors, study participants with androgenetic alopecia received five injections of plasma rich in growth factors, including TGF-b1, PDGF-AB, VEGF, EGF, TSP, and Ang-1. Injections were given every month for three sessions, and two additional doses were given at months 4 and 7. At 12 months, there was a substantial increase in hair follicles per cm2 and mean shaft cross section (μm). Quantitative phototrichogram showed increased terminal thick hair and decreased terminal thin hair percentages.

• This study suggests that injection of autologous growth factors may lead to hair follicle regeneration in people with androgenetic alopecia.
