    TLDR The device safely increased hair growth and thickness in men with hair loss.
    The pilot study evaluated the efficacy and safety of the niostem device, a wearable device delivering low-level electrical stimulation, in promoting hair growth in 21 male patients with androgenetic alopecia (AGA). Over 6 months, participants used the device daily for 30 minutes, resulting in a 12% increase in total hair density at 3 months and a 19.3% increase at 6 months. Hair thickness increased by 8.8% over the same period, and terminal hair density improved significantly, with visible hair growth observed. No adverse events were reported, suggesting the niostem device is effective and safe for increasing hair density and thickness in male AGA patients. Further large-scale studies are recommended.
