TLDR JetPeel-assisted minoxidil improves hair density and thickness more than minoxidil alone.

A 5-year-old randomized pilot study with 30 participants found that JetPeel-assisted topical minoxidil was more effective than topical minoxidil alone in increasing hair density and thickness in individuals with androgenetic alopecia. The treatment group showed significant improvement in hair growth scores, indicating it may be a promising treatment for AGA. JetPeel is effective in cleaning the skin deeply, promoting transdermal absorption of drugs, improving microcirculation, and promoting synthesis of collagens.
