TLDR Weekly treatments increased hair density in men with androgenetic alopecia.
The study focused on androgenetic alopecia in men, involving 24 subjects observed over 1 year. The research aimed to compare hair density and the number of telogen hair bulbs. Subjects, primarily in their 30s and 40s, underwent 20 weekly treatments. Results showed increased hair density in all subjects, although 2 did not experience improved hair diameter. The mean number of telogen hair bulbs significantly decreased from 32.4 to 17.6, indicating an increase in anagen hair bulbs.
