Serenoa Repens for the Treatment of Capillary Disorders

The document reviews literature on the use of Serenoa repens, a natural compound, in treating capillary disorders such as androgenic alopecia. The analysis found that Serenoa repens extract significantly increased total hair count in some male patients after 24 weeks and in some women after 16 weeks. The extract was also effective when combined with other phytotherapies, leading to increased capillary regeneration and repairing the drop induced by dihydrotestosterone. Various studies were discussed, including those by Rossi et al. (2012), Wessagowit et al. (2015), Borrás et al. (2016), Zhu et al. (2018), and Bassino et al. (2018), all of which found positive effects of Serenoa repens on hair growth and regeneration. The study concluded that Serenoa repens is a promising alternative treatment for capillary disorders, with acceptable tolerability.
