May 2022 in “International Journal of Cosmetic Science” The study examined the effects of Leontopodium alpinum (Edelweiss) extract on hair growth. Ex vivo experiments showed the extract inhibited catagen development and promoted hair follicle elongation. In a clinical trial with 60 Caucasian participants (30 per group), those using a serum with 2% Edelweiss extract experienced a significant increase in hair density (+22 hair/cm²) compared to the placebo group. The extract prolonged the anagen phase and increased hair matrix keratinocyte proliferation, suggesting it could be a promising, milder alternative to traditional hair loss treatments.

January 2022 in “International Journal of Trichology” The study evaluated the efficacy of minoxidil, platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy, and their combination in treating androgenetic alopecia (AGA) in 69 men. Participants were divided into three groups: 25 received both minoxidil and PRP, 22 received only PRP, and 22 received only minoxidil. Results showed that the combination therapy significantly improved hair density by 32%, hair shaft diameter by 26%, reduced vellus hair by 30%, and decreased telogen hair by 39%, outperforming the monotherapies. The findings suggest that PRP and minoxidil enhance each other's effects, making their combined use a promising treatment for AGA.
