Tratamento para alopécia com plasma rico em plaquetas

Abstract

Introduction: In recent years, an innovative approach has gained prominence in the treatment of alopecia: platelet-rich plasma (PRP). This concentrated blood plasma, rich in platelets and their growth factors, has shown promising results in stimulating hair growth and regenerating hair follicles. This represents a safe and effective therapeutic option for those dealing with alopecia. By better understanding the role of PRP in hair loss treatment, we can provide valuable insights for healthcare professionals and, at the same time, bring hope and improved quality of life to those facing the daily challenges of this condition. Objective: The present study aimed to carry out a literature review on the complications reported in the literature using platelet-rich plasma, highlighting observation of the treatment of alopecia as the objective of the study. Methodology: This is an integrative review of the scientific literature, with a selection of studies in the databases: PubMed (National Center Biotechnology Information): platelet-rich plasma, alopecia, hair follice, in Portuguese and English, from 2019 to 2024. Results: 15 scientific articles were selected that met the inclusion criteria. Conclusion: Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is effective in the treatment of alopecia, however, the combination with minoxidil and microneedling brings a much more satisfactory result to the patient.
