The Perfectionism-Psychological Outcome Link: The Mediating Effect of Personal Resiliency

The document discussed androgenic alopecia, a genetic condition causing progressive hair loss in both men and women, which led to psychological and social distress.

An alternative treatment explored was subcutaneous injections of autologous platelet-rich plasma into the scalp, either alone or as an adjunct, with the document presenting its methodology, possible mechanisms, and initial clinical results.
