Alopecia means loss of hair. Primarily there are two types of alopecia. Non-cicatricial alopecia and Cicatricial alopecia. Androgenic alopecia is non cicatricial localized alopecia and displays relatively high rates of occurrence in both men and women. Injections of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) have shown to be a successful regenerative treatment for androgenic alopecia. It is a well-tolerated procedure and easy to perform. The objective clinical results are good. It is safe and non-allergenic. In our institution, more than 300 patients were given PRP and their terminal hair mass, hair texture, anagen/telogen hair ratio, keratinocyte proliferation, blood vessel density, and other factors were assessed. More than 85 percent of patients who underwent PRP treatment, had a very positive outcome.

AbstractRecent studies in Asian populations have identified variants in theEDARandFGFR2genes that arose following the divergence of Asians and Europeans and are associated with thick straight hair. To date no genetic variants have been identified influencing hair texture in Europeans. In the current study we examined the heritability of hair curliness in three unselected samples of predominantly European ancestry (NS1= 2717;NS2= 3904;NS3= 5079). When rated using a three point scale (Straight/Wavy/Curly) males were ~5% more likely to report straight hair than females and there were suggestions in the data that curliness increased slightly with age. Across samples significant additive and dominant genetic influences were detected resulting in a broad sense heritability of 85–95%. Given the magnitude and the specificity of the EDAR effect on hair morphology in Asian populations we are hopeful that future association studies will detect similar genetic influences in European populations.
