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.
