TLDR Both treatments promote hair growth safely, but stem cells are slightly more effective.
The study compared the efficacy, side effects, and safety of autologous adipose-derived stem cell (AT-ADSC) injections versus platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections in treating androgenetic alopecia. PRP works by releasing growth factors that stimulate the anagen phase and promote vascularization, while AT-ADSCs were recently introduced as a potential alternative for hair growth. The document did not provide specific results or conclusions, but it aimed to evaluate these two treatments' effectiveness and safety profiles.
