April 2026 in “Indian Journal of Dermatology” This study compared the efficacy and safety of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy versus intralesional triamcinolone acetonide (IT) in treating localized alopecia areata of the scalp in 60 patients. Both treatments were administered in 3 sessions over 6 weeks, with follow-ups at 9 and 18 weeks. Results showed that both PRP and IT significantly reduced the severity of alopecia, with no statistically significant difference in the percentage of complete regrowth or patient satisfaction between the two groups.
