Platelet-Rich Plasma in Alopecia areata: A Case Report With a Mini Review of Literature.

A 46-year-old patient with extensive patchy alopecia areata (AA) treated successfully with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is presented. The therapy was used in three applications at monthly intervals. The treatment results were analyzed with clinical photography, quantitative assessment of scalp hair, digital trichoscopy, and evaluation of the patient's quality of life. Results of studies conducted with PRP therapy in alopecia areata are briefly presented. PRP injections in alopecia areata are a relatively effective, safe, low-pain, and minimally invasive treatment method.
