TLDR Combining laser therapy with platelet-rich plasma improves hair growth in people with hair loss.

The study on 47 patients with androgenetic alopecia found that combining low-level laser therapy (LLLT) with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) significantly improved hair diameter, vellus hair, terminal hair, and hair density over a 3-month treatment period and a subsequent 3-month follow-up. Although some improvements slightly decreased after stopping the treatment, they remained better than baseline levels, indicating that LLLT combined with PRP could be an effective treatment for AGA.
