July 2025 in “Biotechnology and Bioprocess Engineering” Spirulina extract may effectively promote hair growth and reduce inflammation, offering a natural alternative for hair loss treatment.
March 2025 in “Aesthetic Plastic Surgery” This open-label study found that combining exosome therapy with microneedling significantly improved hair density and patient satisfaction for male patients with mild to moderate androgenetic alopecia, with most reporting noticeable improvements and only mild, transient side effects after 12 months.
February 2025 in “Advanced Composites and Hybrid Materials” This study reported that in animal studies of androgenetic alopecia, a biodegradable microneedle patch releasing glutamic acid promoted hair regeneration more effectively than daily minoxidil, with higher hair follicle counts and less frequent dosing, showing the potential for clinical application.
February 2025 in “Archives of Dermatological Research” In this study, researchers administered injectable platelet-rich fibrin (i-PRF) to 30 patients with androgenetic alopecia, finding an 80% response rate after 6 months, with improved hair density and reduced scalp symptoms, while reporting minimal adverse reactions.
October 2024 in “Aesthetic Plastic Surgery” In this multicenter observational study, researchers found that using micrografts with human follicle mesenchymal stem cells increased hair density significantly in both male and female patients with mild to moderate androgenic alopecia after 12 months, suggesting a viable alternative for hair regrowth.
August 2024 in “Aesthetic Plastic Surgery” In this study, injecting foreskin-derived mesenchymal stromal cell exosomes into the scalps of men with androgenetic alopecia significantly increased hair density and patient satisfaction without side effects over a 12-week period.
