Study of the Pattern of Improvement in Androgenetic Alopecia in Patients Using Microneedling Associated with Minoxidil and/or Platelet-Rich Plasma and Mesotherapy
Studysummary This review of current research suggests that combining microneedling with minoxidil, and possibly platelet-rich plasma or mesotherapy, may achieve better hair growth results for androgenetic alopecia than conventional methods. Our plain-language summary of this paper — not a Tressless recommendation.
The study investigates the effectiveness of microneedling combined with minoxidil, platelet-rich plasma, and/or mesotherapy in treating androgenetic alopecia. The research, conducted through PubMed and Scielo databases, suggests that microneedling with topical minoxidil results in unprecedented hair growth compared to conventional therapies. Adding platelet-rich plasma and mesotherapy further enhances these outcomes. While the findings are promising, further studies are needed to explore unresolved aspects of alopecia treatment.
