January 2025 in “Journal of Cutaneous and Aesthetic Surgery” The review article discusses various laser therapies for treating androgenetic alopecia (AGA), emphasizing their efficacy and safety. Low-level laser therapy (LLLT) is highlighted as the only FDA-approved laser treatment, showing significant improvements in hair density and thickness, with a 51% increase in hair counts in a study involving 44 women. Other lasers, such as red light, blue light, fractional CO2, Er:YAG, and thulium lasers, also demonstrate promising results in hair regrowth, especially when combined with treatments like minoxidil, microneedling, and platelet-rich plasma (PRP). These combination therapies enhance hair density and growth, offering a minimally invasive alternative to traditional treatments with minimal adverse effects. However, further multicenter studies are needed to establish standardized protocols and optimize treatment parameters.

January 2025 in “Journal of Bacha Khan Medical College.” This study conducted a double-blinded randomized controlled trial to compare the efficacy of single-spin and double-spin platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapies in treating androgenetic alopecia (AGA) in 60 male patients aged 22 to 60 years. The trial took place at the Pak Emirates Military Hospital in Rawalpindi from June to November 2024. Patients were divided into two groups: Group A received single-spin PRP, and Group B received double-spin PRP, with treatments administered at 0, 3, and 6 weeks, followed by an evaluation at the 8th week. The primary outcome was measured using SALT and Likert scores to assess improvements in hair growth. The study aimed to determine which PRP preparation technique was more effective in treating AGA.
