    TLDR High-intensity focused ultrasound improved hair growth in a woman with no side effects.
    This case study investigates the use of high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) as a noninvasive treatment for androgenetic alopecia (AGA) in a 44-year-old woman, showing significant improvements in hair density and condition after six sessions over 24 weeks, with no adverse effects. The treatment resulted in over 90% improvement in affected areas, potentially due to mechanisms like stem cell activation, micro-wound healing, and enhanced blood flow. The study suggests HIFU as a promising AGA treatment, recommending further research to explore its mechanisms and efficacy in broader clinical settings.
