    TLDR PRP and CGF treatments help with hair growth and density in androgenetic alopecia.
    The retrospective study evaluated the efficacy of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and concentrated growth factor (CGF) in treating androgenetic alopecia. The study concluded that both PRP and CGF were effective in promoting hair growth and improving hair density in patients with androgenetic alopecia. The findings suggested that these treatments could be considered viable options for managing this condition. However, the study did not specify the number of participants involved, which is crucial for assessing the strength of the evidence.
