TLDR Combining PRP with Minoxidil is more effective for hair regrowth than PRP alone.

The study aimed to compare the clinical efficacy of Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) alone and PRP combined with Minoxidil in treating androgenetic alopecia (AGA), a condition affecting up to 50% of individuals post-puberty. The study found that both treatments were effective in managing hair loss, but the combination of PRP with Minoxidil showed superior results in promoting hair regrowth compared to PRP alone. The study highlights the potential benefits of combining treatments for better outcomes in patients with AGA.
