TLDR Invasive treatments can improve hair growth, but effectiveness varies and more research is needed.
This literature review critically analyzes invasive methods for treating androgenetic alopecia, such as PRP, LLLT, microneedling, hair transplantation, and mesotherapy, based on studies from the past 12 years. The findings suggest that these methods can significantly improve hair density and quality, particularly when used in combination. However, the effectiveness varies among techniques, and patient qualification and potential complications must be considered. The review concludes that while these methods are promising, further high-quality clinical studies are needed to refine treatment protocols and assess long-term results.
