PRP is a biological product defined as a portion of the plasma fraction of autologous blood with a platelet concentration above the baseline. • Blood Derived Biomaterials, unique group of blood products • Common Features – Physiologically compatible (Autologous Origin) – Devoid of risk of adverse reactions – Biodegradable by body enzymes Burnouf T et al. Blood Reviews 27 (2013) 77–89.
Biomaterials should follow principles that • They should enhance tissue repair to a clinically significant degree, • Not lead to scar formation (keloids), • Provide a minimal risk, act only at the site of the wound (not systemically), • Be cost-effective, and • Be easily applied to the wound area The role of growth factors in wound healing Greenhalgh DG et al J Trauma, 1996
PRP accelerates endothelial, epithelial, and epidermal regeneration, stimulates angiogenesis, enhances collagen synthesis, promotes soft tissue healing, decreases dermal scarring, enhances the hemostatic response to injury, and reverses the inhibition of wound healing caused by glucocorticoids. The high leukocyte concentration of PRP has an added antimicrobial effect. Platelet-rich Plasma: Properties and Clinical Applications RICK G.

What is Platelet rich plasma (PRP)? Dr. Aboobacker Mohamed Rafi.
PLATELET RICH PLASMA • PRP is defined as a portion of the plasma fraction of autologous blood having a platelet concentration 3-4 times more than baseline . • Usage of PRP started early at around in the 1970 s • It started with Fibrin glue for arresting bleeding – The hemostatic property of Platelets • Later only its other properties were used • Growth factors • Cytokines • They have been extensively used in • Dermatology & Cosmetology • Plastic surgery • Dental & OMFS • Orthopedics • OA • EPICONDYLITIS • MUSCLE & Tendon injury • Osteonecrosis

Background • Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) is a hereditary, androgen-dependent dermatological disorder • More common in men. Occasionally seen in women. • Begins by 20 years of age and affects nearly 50% of men by the age of 50 years. • There is progressive thinning of the scalp hair in a defined pattern causing significant lowering of the self-esteem and psychological well-being of the patient.
MATERIAL AND METHOD • In our study, 12 young male and 4 female patients suffering with alopecia in the age group of 25-35 years were selected. • Consent was taken • Autologous PRP injections were given subcutaneously on the affected area of alopecia with insulin syringes in a therapeutic dose of 1.5 million platelets per ml.
The injections were given over a period of 3 months at the interval of 2-3 weeks and results were assessed. • PRP is generated by taking 30 ml of blood; • Blood is centrifuged at 1000 rpm for 10 minutes (low spin). The plasma is removed and centrifuged at 2000 rpm for 15 minutes (hard spin). • The buffy coat is removed and this is PRP.
Results • Hair growth was seen in three patients after 7 days and in four patients after 15 days. • 3 months after the treatment patient presented with growth in the number of hair, thickness, hair strength and overall alopecia. • None of the patients had any inflammation or infection.

Discussion • Androgen-dependent processes are predominantly due to the binding of Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) to the Androgen Receptor (AR). • DHT-dependent cell functions depend on • the availability of weak androgens, • their conversion to more potent androgens via the action of five alpha-reductase, • low enzymatic activity of androgen inactivating enzymes, and • functionally active AR present in high numbers.
The predisposed scalp exhibits high levels of DHT and increased expression of the AR. • Conversion of testosterone to DHT within the dermal papilla plays a central role, while androgen-regulated factors deriving from dermal papilla cells are believed to influence the growth of other components of the hair follicle. • The main growth factors involved in the establishment of hair follicle are • VEGF, • epidermal growth factor (EGF), • insulin 1-like growth factor, and • fibroblast growth factor.
Patient Safety & Adverse effects Dr. Aboobacker Mohamed Rafi.
Safety Concerns • Its usually a safe outpatient procedure • It is a convenient and inexpensive procedure • It has no issues regarding transmission of infections as it is autologous • Risk of adverse events are very Less if done using GMP • Some reports of Inflammation and pain have been reported • Long term complications not yet reported /known
