ABSTRACT

Background: Hair loss, a prevalent concern affecting a diverse demographic, has prompted the exploration of regenerative therapies such as Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) and Exosomes. While both interventions show promise in hair restoration, limited comparative studies exist, necessitating a comprehensive investigation. Objective: This case series study aims to compare the efficacy of Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) intervention and Exosomes as regenerative therapies for the treatment of hair loss. PRP and Exosomes have gained attention as promising interventions in hair restoration but limited comparative studies exist. Material and methods: The study has enrolled total 5 participants experiencing hair loss. The participants were divided into two groups: Group A, 3 patients received PRP intervention, and Group B, 2 patients received Exosomes therapy. The PRP group (average age 29, all male) underwent 5-6 sessions over 6-16 months, while the Exosomes group (average age 43, all female) received one session with observation periods ranging from 7 to 28 months. Result: Both treatments demonstrated positive outcomes in improving or maintaining condition scores. PRP showed varying improvements, while Exosomes exhibited significant improvement after a single session, outperforming PRP. Conclusion: The study suggests the need for further research with larger sample sizes and longer-term follow-ups for a comprehensive evaluation of treatment efficacy.
