August 2021 in “International Journal of Dermatology and Venereology” Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) can speed up healing in chronic wounds, improve hair density, and act as a natural filler for skin rejuvenation, but its use in hair loss treatment needs more evaluation.
March 2019 in “SLAS TECHNOLOGY” New technologies show promise in healing wounds, treating cancer, autoimmune diseases, and genetic disorders.
January 2017 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology Symposium Proceedings” The 2015 Hair Research Congress concluded that stem cells, maraviroc, and simvastatin could potentially treat Alopecia Areata, topical minoxidil, finasteride, and steroids could treat Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia, and PTGDR2 antagonists could also treat alopecia. They also found that low-level light therapy could help with hair loss, a robotic device could assist in hair extraction, and nutrition could aid hair growth. They suggested that Alopecia Areata is an inflammatory disorder, not a single disease, indicating a need for personalized treatments.
