    A study on the use of extracorporeal shock waves for hair growth and regeneration in women with female pattern hair loss (FPHL) involved 20 participants with a mean age of 43. The treatment, conducted over eight sessions, resulted in a mean increase in total hair count by 8.9%, follicular units by 4.6%, and triple and larger follicular units by 18.4%. Cumulative hair thickness increased by 8.0%, and the Derived Sinclair scale value decreased by 5.7%. After 3 months, 85% of patients reported improved hair volume. The study concluded that extracorporeal shock waves significantly improved hair growth and characteristics in women with FPHL.
