research Platelet-Rich Plasma with Microneedling in PCOD Associated Alopecia: A Case Report

August 2026 in “Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research)”

A case report on a 26-year-old female with PCOD-associated alopecia (Ludwig Grade III) demonstrated that treatment with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) combined with microneedling significantly reduced hair shedding and improved hair density. The patient underwent four sessions of PRP with microneedling at two-week intervals, alongside a vitamin-rich diet. Evaluations using global photography, trichoscan analysis, and a 60-second hair count test showed increased terminal hair growth and follicular density, with no adverse effects reported. This suggests that PRP with microneedling is a safe and effective treatment for advanced alopecia linked to PCOD.

community If You Have DUPA, PLEASE READ THIS: Everyone Should Be Scalp Biopsied

in Research 830 upvotes 2 years ago

Scalp biopsies are crucial for diagnosing hair loss conditions like Diffuse Unpatterned Alopecia (DUPA) and retrograde hair loss, as treatments like finasteride and dutasteride may not be effective if other conditions are present. Combining PPAR-GAMMA agonists with retinoids could improve treatments for conditions like Lichen Planopilaris.
