TLDR Super-activated platelet lysate significantly promotes hair regrowth in mice with androgenetic alopecia.

The study aimed to prepare super-activated platelet lysate (sPL) and investigate its effect on hair follicle regeneration in a mouse model of androgenetic alopecia (AGA). Using ultrafiltration centrifugation and freeze-thaw methods, sPL was obtained from platelet-rich plasma (PRP). The sPL contained significantly higher levels of hair follicle regeneration-related factors compared to PRP and platelet lysate (PL). Treatment with sPL led to noticeable hair regrowth and restoration of hair follicle density to control levels in AGA mice. The results suggested that sPL had a significant effect on hair follicle regeneration, making it a promising candidate for AGA treatment.

community Why is Minoxidil not enough for hair loss? (No fin)

in Minoxidil 57 upvotes 1 week ago

Minoxidil alone is often insufficient for treating hair loss because it doesn't address the DHT-related cause. Combining it with finasteride, a DHT blocker, is generally more effective.
