Conclusion PRP treatment for AA is effective, safe, and easy to perform, improving the patients’ DQOL with minimal tolerable side effects. PRP treatment for AA is effective in mild cases of AA.

However, further studies are needed to identify the precise dosing and the frequency of sessions needed with prolonged follow-up.
