• In a 2017 study, fifty men with androgenic alopecia (male pattern hair loss) took part in a trial to see if PRP treatments were effective. A PRP injection was given to them on the left side of their scalps. They were solely injected with saline on the right side. According to the results, the hair on the left side thickened, and new hair began to develop.

• 10 males with androgenic alopecia were tested in a 2015 study. These males received PRP injections for 3 months, and the results demonstrate that towards the end of the trial, they had denser, thicker hair with stronger roots.
