PRP shots show promise for thinning hair, but not a cure
NCT ID NCT07348315
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether injecting a person's own concentrated platelets (PRP) into the scalp can improve hair growth in men with male pattern baldness. Two hundred one men received 3 to 5 sessions of PRP injections. The main goal was to see if hair loss grade improved based on photos. While some men saw better hair quality and thickness, the treatment does not cure baldness and may require repeat sessions to maintain results.
