Brief Answer:
Not enough research on PRP

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

PRP is a newer technique in which platelet rich plasma is injected by a small syringe into scalp. Several small researches have shown good results with this technique in few months time. There is visibly more growth of hair and side effects reported are minimal like redness at site of injection.

Still bigger researches are needed to comment better on its efficacy.

Hope this helps. Let me know if I can assist you further.
