November 2022 in “Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology” In this study, a combined treatment for moderate to severe androgenetic alopecia using electric microneedles showed a 100% response rate after 12 weeks, with improvements in hair density and mild side effects, offering promising application prospects.
November 2025 in “Health Promotion Evidence” This study reviewed interventions for post-COVID-19 alopecia and concluded that integrated physiotherapeutic strategies, including photobiomodulation, micro-needling, electrotherapy, and scalp massage, can reduce hair loss and improve hair density, contributing positively to patient quality of life.
January 2026 in “Dermatologic Therapy” This review indicates that while microneedling shows potential for managing androgenetic alopecia, particularly in combination with other treatments, the existing evidence is of low to moderate quality, and more robust trials are needed to confirm its clinical efficacy and safety.
