Evaluating the Efficacy of Platelet Rich Plasma and 1550 nm Fractional Laser in Combination and Alone for the Management of Androgenetic Alopecia

The study on 60 patients with androgenetic alopecia (AGA) found that both platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and 1550 nm fractional erbium-glass laser treatments are effective and safe, with the combination therapy showing the best results (80% improvement in hair density) compared to PRP alone (70%) and laser alone (65%). No significant side effects were reported, though PRP treatments caused mild to intense pain. The combination therapy's superior outcomes are attributed to the synergistic effects of wound healing and growth factors.
