April 2023 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” This review found that most studies from 2012 to 2022 reported positive effects of Platelet-Rich Plasma on hair growth and density in androgenetic alopecia, but more research is needed to refine protocols and explore combination therapies.
April 2023 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” This study found that autologous cell-based therapy using dermal sheath cup cells showed a moderate increase in hair volume in patients with pattern hair loss, particularly in women.
March 2023 in “Research Square (Research Square)” This meta-analysis suggests that combining minoxidil with microneedling significantly increases total hair count compared to minoxidil alone in patients with androgenetic alopecia, although it did not significantly affect hair diameter.
March 2023 in “Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology” This study concluded that both oral and topical spironolactone effectively treat androgenetic alopecia, with topical administration being safer and suitable for any gender, especially when combined with minoxidil.
January 2023 in “Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology” This review concludes that platelet-rich plasma treatment is effective for androgenetic alopecia, with recommendations for a specific volume, frequency, and duration of therapy for optimal results.
This review investigates whether combining microneedling with minoxidil is more effective than using minoxidil alone for increasing hair density and diameter in patients with alopecia. Results are not reported.
January 2023 in “Dermatologic Therapy” In this study, the researchers found that the topical generic 5% new minoxidil foam is as effective and safe as the 5% Rogaine® foam in increasing hair density and diameter in men with androgenetic alopecia over 24 weeks.
October 2022 in “International Journal of Research in Dermatology” This study suggests that hormonal disturbances play a role in female pattern hair loss and that trichoscopy may be a useful tool for diagnosis and differentiation from other conditions.
August 2022 in “Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology” This study found that 1% topical cetirizine may be more effective than a placebo in treating androgenetic alopecia but appears less effective than minoxidil for hair density, though potentially longer-lasting; however, more well-designed RCTs are needed to confirm these findings.
August 2022 in “DOAJ (DOAJ: Directory of Open Access Journals)” This study found that combining microneedling at depths of 0.5 mm or 1 mm with minoxidil tincture significantly improved hair density and diameter in men with androgenetic alopecia compared to minoxidil alone, although the deeper microneedling also led to higher adverse reactions.
