TLDR Nonablative radiofrequency therapy improves hair density, thickness, and growth rate.

The study evaluated the effectiveness of nonablative radiofrequency therapy for the treatment of androgenetic alopecia (AGA) in 20 male and female participants. The treatment involved six sessions of RF therapy over a period of 12 weeks. The results showed a statistically significant increase in hair density and thickness, as well as an improvement in hair growth rate. The study suggests that nonablative RF therapy may be a safe and effective treatment option for AGA.
