    TLDR Combining PRF and PDO threads shows promise in treating male pattern baldness.
    The study explored a novel approach for treating male pattern baldness by combining injectable Platelet Rich Fibrin (PRF) and Polydioxanone (PDO) threads. PRF, a second-generation autologous biomaterial, was noted for its higher cell and growth factor content compared to conventional PRP, along with its cost-effectiveness and ease of preparation. PDO threads, traditionally used in cardiac surgeries and more recently in dermatology, were employed for their potential to stimulate neocollagenosis, fibroblast proliferation, and microcirculation. The combination therapy was applied to patients with Androgenetic alopecia and yielded encouraging results.

      The user's hair regrowth plan includes topical treatments (RU58841, azelaic acid, ketoconazole), oral supplements (Gia Herbs, castor oil), microneedling, PTD-DBM peptide with valproic acid, red light therapy, inversion table with scalp massage, and platelet-rich fibrin injections. Commenters suggest that finasteride and minoxidil are essential treatments for male pattern hair loss, which are missing from the plan.

      Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy for hair loss is expensive, painful, and often ineffective, with mixed reviews on its benefits. Alternatives like minoxidil, finasteride, and hair transplants are suggested as more reliable options.
