Platelet-rich plasma shows efficacy in combination treatment for androgenetic alopecia
/
Platelet-rich plasma in combination with 5% minoxidil solution showed efficacy in hair regrowth for patients with androgenetic alopecia compared with the combination with oral finasteride, according to study results recently published in Dermatologic Surgery.
Researchers studied 25 patients with androgenetic alopecia (13 females; mean age, 39.9 years). Thirteen patients were treated with 1 mL 5% topical minoxidil solution twice daily and 12 patients treated with 1 mg per day of oral finasteride.
