January 2019 in “Dermatology Online Journal” The study explored the use of ablative laser fractional photothermolysis to create vertical uniform channels in the scalp, enhancing the delivery of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) for treating androgenetic alopecia.

Additionally, the technique could improve the topical application of bimatoprost and minoxidil. The conclusion suggested that laser-assisted drug delivery of PRP, with or without bimatoprost and/or minoxidil, should be considered to effectively stimulate hair growth by targeting the dermis where hair follicles are located.
