Are there long term studies on prp for hair therapy(to establish side effects)?in theory,after many years could prp cause any damage on health?

Marketing, Marketing: Humans No; Mice Yes, short-term regrowth. Some short term studies showing faster regrowth of hair in mice are referenced by some promoting Platelet Rich Plasma, an inherently expensive treatment; need blood matching, Placebo effect?, etc. High odds this is another marketing ploy, there have long been so many. Hair transplant is the only technique which has any relative long term success.
