    TLDR Using minoxidil with carboxytherapy is more effective for female pattern hair loss than minoxidil alone.
    The study "Combination of Minoxidil 5% with Carboxytherapy versus Minoxidil 5% Alone in Treatment of Female Pattern Hair Loss" involved 40 female patients with Androgenic Alopecia (AGA). They were divided into two groups: Group A used minoxidil 5% once daily with carboxytherapy every 3 weeks for 6 months, and Group B used only minoxidil 5% once daily for the same period. The results showed a statistically significant increase in hair diameter, density, and count in Group A compared to Group B at both 3 and 6 months (p=0.012, 0.001, 0.004, <0.001, 0.048, 0.002 respectively). Group A also reported higher satisfaction with a significant difference (P=0.049). The study concluded that carboxytherapy, in combination with minoxidil, appears to be a promising treatment for female pattern hair loss, and it is recommended for maintaining the results with minimal side effects.
