    TLDR SVF and PRP improve hair loss, but SVF causes more side effects.
    The study evaluated the efficacy, safety, and adverse effects of using lipo-aspirate stromal vascular fraction (SVF) versus platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injection in the treatment of androgenetic alopecia (AGA). Forty randomized patients were treated with PRP and SVF, and each lesion was treated by those modalities. Patients received three sessions with one-month intervals for three months, followed up after three months. The results indicated a significant improvement in AGA after both PRP and highly significant after SVF therapy. The study suggests that both modalities could effectively and safely be used to treat AGA. However, SVF showed highly significant pain, headache, and erythema as side effects, but no serious adverse events.
