January 2021 in “IEEE Access” In this study, researchers demonstrated that treating platelet rich plasma with microsecond pulsed electric fields effectively activates platelets and induces similar or higher growth factor release compared to traditional bovine thrombin, suggesting a potential clinical use that may be more cost-effective and practical.
This review discusses various physical therapies for androgenetic alopecia, reporting that low-level laser therapy has the most evidence but highlighting other promising treatments, such as non-ablative lasers and multimodal approaches, that warrant further investigation.
