TLDR The study found that using growth factors from a person's own blood may help improve hair growth in baldness surgery.
In 2005, an experimental study was conducted on 23 male patients with pattern hair loss to evaluate the effectiveness of using follicular units (FUs) in conjunction with growth factors derived from autologous platelet-rich plasma. The study aimed to assess the impact of these growth factors on hair growth and density in the context of baldness surgery. The results of this study could provide insights into new treatments for hair loss, specifically for those considering surgical options to address baldness.
