Hair fall the common sign and result of any traumatic situation has its effect on many heads.
The effort that one puts on to save the hair from falling is also commendable.
Hair density loss, thinning and easy falling of the hair follicle has its causes.
As a part of the treatment many approaches have been advised of which the Platelet rich plasma has been touted to be effective.
Are there any statistics which prove the reversibility and effectiveness of PRP on hair fall?
I am working on a save hair serum against androgen and telogenic hairloss. This year we will start a pilot study with it.
Until now I work with PRP and it does really well with patients. It just has to be done on a regular base. There are no statistics, but I know that a university in Brazil is working on it.

Study of Platelet-Rich Plasma Injections in the Treatment of Androgenetic Alopecia Through an One-Year Period
Maria-Angeliki Gkini, Alexandros-Efstratios Kouskoukis, Gregory Tripsianis,1 Dimitris Rigopoulos,2 and Konstantinos Kouskoukis
Gkini et al.’ cohort study suggests that PRP injections may have a positive therapeutic effect on patterned hair loss without remarkable major side effects. (J Cutan Aesthet Surg. 2014 Oct-Dec; 7(4): 213–219.). However, due to the fact that their subject number was quite small, further and broad-based studies are needed.
Recently, i published an article regarding the effectiveness of PRP in patients with androgenetic alopecia: Randomized Placebo-Controlled, Double-Blind, Half-Head Study to Assess the Efficacy of Platelet-Rich Plasma on the Treatment of Androgenetic Alopecia.
It was registered in clinical trials.gov (NCT02393040)
It's a prospective, double-blind with placebo controlled study. The evaluation assessment were global photographys and Trichoscan.
We found that PRP had a statistical significant improvement in anagen hairs, hair density, an increased anagen/telogen ratio.
PRP can be used alone or associated with other medication for hair loss.

Yes PRP for scalp hair loss in AGA does help.we do see regrowth at hair margins definitely after 3-4 sittings,this is a clinical observation of clinician and patient.
Dear Lahiri sir, Saw your PPT on dermabrasion results are very good. needs a lot of skill to do get such results
As of 2016, no large-scale randomized controlled trials have confirmed the efficacy of PRP as a treatment for musculoskeletal or nerve injuries, the accelerated healing of bone grafts, or the reduction of androgenic hair loss.
I recommend looking into obtaining the following text...
