androgenetic alopecia blue light photobiomodulation subcutaneous infiltrations biomimetic peptides hair density AGA PBM

TLDR The combined treatment increased hair density in most patients with Androgenetic Alopecia.

This study evaluated the efficacy of a combined protocol of blue light Photobiomodulation (PBM) and subcutaneous infiltrations of biomimetic peptides for treating Androgenetic Alopecia (AGA) in 20 patients. After 6 months, 85% of the patients showed a significant increase in hair density. The findings suggest that this combined treatment could be effective for AGA, though further studies with more participants are needed to confirm these results and assess long-term efficacy.
