TLDR New treatment reduces hair shedding and increases hair density in women with early hair loss.
The study evaluated the effectiveness of a new topical treatment containing several hair growth promoters in women with early female pattern hair loss (FPHL). The treatment, Spectral.DNC-N, was found to significantly reduce hair shedding and increase hair mass/density within 3 months, with further improvements seen in patients who continued treatment. The regimen was well tolerated, and patients indicated a high degree of satisfaction. The study suggests that Spectral.DNC-N provides an effective treatment option for FPHL that also provides a high level of patient satisfaction, which may help promote patient adherence to long-term treatment. However, the study was open and the number of patients was small.
