June 2023 in “Jordan Journal of Applied Science - Natural Science Series” This study found that both topical minoxidil and latanoprost effectively improved hair regrowth in patients with alopecia areata, but minoxidil showed higher efficacy.
September 2025 in “Journal of Maxillofacial and Oral Surgery” This study found that combining PRP with concentrated growth factors was more effective than PRP alone in promoting hair regrowth for patients with androgenetic alopecia.
August 2026 in “European Journal of Pharmacology” February 2026 in “Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology” In this study, researchers found that combining cryotherapy with triamcinolone injections is equally effective as triamcinolone alone for treating patchy alopecia areata on the scalp and face, with no significant difference in outcomes between the two methods.

October 2020 in “Journal of The American Academy of Dermatology” This letter discusses the limited adaptation of low dose oral minoxidil for androgenetic alopecia in North America and reports no new clinical results; the authors suggest safety concerns or unclear dosing may be factors.
This study reported that dupilumab successfully induced remission of chronic, disseminated eczema herpeticum in a six-year-old girl with DOCK8-deficiency hyper-IgE syndrome, achieving complete resolution of herpetic lesions and significant skin, hair, and nail improvement within three months.

July 2025 in “Skin Health and Disease” This study concluded that platelet-rich plasma is nearly as effective as topical minoxidil for treating androgenetic alopecia, with PRP improving hair density and minoxidil boosting terminal hair count.
April 2025 in “Journal of Pioneering Medical Science” This study concluded that oral and topical minoxidil have similar overall benefits in treating androgenetic alopecia, but topical minoxidil improved hair density more and had fewer adverse effects.
September 2024 in “Research Square (Research Square)” This study found that bi-weekly 1550nm low-level laser therapy significantly improved hair loss conditions and scalp health in participants, suggesting its potential as an effective non-invasive treatment option.
