    TLDR Iontophoresis with growth factors safely and effectively promotes hair regrowth without discomfort.
    The study evaluated the efficacy and tolerability of preformed growth factors delivered via iontophoresis in 60 patients (30 males and 30 females) with androgenetic alopecia and telogen effluvium over 12 months. The results demonstrated that this technique effectively increased hair regrowth and hair diameter without causing pain or discomfort. The treatment worked by enhancing blood flow to hair follicles, stimulating stem cells, and activating growth factors through neovascularization and neocollagenesis. The study concluded that iontophoresis with growth factors is a safe, non-invasive, and pleasant option for treating androgenetic alopecia, warranting further large-scale clinical trials to validate its efficacy.
