Platelet-rich plasma for hair loss in Black women
Treatments studied
Part of Skin clinical trials.
This trial tests whether platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections can help treat a type of hair loss called central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia, which commonly affects Black women. PRP is made from your own blood and may help reduce inflammation and promote hair growth.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This pilot study tests an “all LED” red light cap to treat central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia (CCCA), a type of scarring hair loss. If you’re a woman with confirmed CCCA at Stage II–III and stable treatment, the study may help see whether red light can improve your hair loss without changing your current plan.
This study tests whether platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections, made from your own blood, can help treat female pattern hair loss. It is an early-stage trial, so it will help determine if this treatment is safe and effective for women with this condition.
This trial compares two types of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) treatments for people with pattern hair loss. PRP uses your own blood to help stimulate hair growth. The study will see if using a special light with PRP works better than standard PRP.
This trial compares two treatments—secretome and platelet-rich plasma (PRP)—to see which helps grow thicker, denser hair in people with genetic hair loss (androgenetic alopecia). It's for adults aged 25 to 59 who have stopped taking certain hair loss medications for at least a month.
This study looks at treatment results for central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia (CCCA), a type of hair loss that causes scarring and permanent hair loss. It will follow African-American women to see how well treatments work for different levels of severity.
This study tests whether adding platelet-rich plasma (a concentrate from your own blood) or nanofat (a fine fat extract from your own body) to a hair transplant helps the new hair grow better and look fuller. It may improve the results of your hair transplant.
