The study concluded that combining a lotion containing growth-factor-like peptides and taurine with autologous platelet-rich plasma (PRP) treatment was more effective in treating androgenic alopecia (AGA) than PRP treatment alone. The trial involved 30 participants (18 men and 12 women) over 3 months, with 20 receiving both PRP and the lotion (Group A) and 10 receiving only PRP (Group B). Group A showed significantly better improvements in hair density and thickness, with higher Investigator Global Assessment (IGA) scores and lower Hamilton Scale Grading (HSG) scores compared to Group B. The lotion was well tolerated with no serious side effects reported.
