TLDR Both Minoxidil and PRP are effective for male pattern baldness treatment.
The document is a comparative analysis of two treatments for androgenetic alopecia (male pattern baldness): 5% topical Minoxidil and Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP). The study involved 13 male patients aged 18 to 60, with 4 receiving 5% topical Minoxidil for a month and 9 receiving PRP every 21 days for a total of 3 applications. The aim was to compare the efficacy of both treatments in reducing or controlling hair loss and promoting hair growth. The study also examined the psychological, social, and biological aspects of both treatments through structured interviews and self-assessment questionnaires.
