research Applications of platelet-rich plasma in dermatology: A critical appraisal of the literature
Platelet-rich plasma may have some benefits in dermatology, but there's not enough evidence to widely recommend its use.
research Systematic Review: Adipose-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells, Platelet-Rich Plasma and Biomaterials as New Regenerative Strategies in Chronic Skin Wounds and Soft Tissue Defects
Fat-derived stem cells, platelet-rich plasma, and biomaterials show promise for healing chronic skin wounds and improving soft tissue with few side effects.
research Efficacy and Safety of Tracnil™ Administration in Patients with Dermatological Manifestations of PCOS: An Open-Label Single-Arm Study
Tracnil™, a mix of myo-inositol, folic acid, and vitamin D3, safely reduced acne, improved excessive hair growth, and fixed irregular periods in overweight women with PCOS.
research Advances in the management of alopecia areata
New treatments for severe hair loss often fail, but some patients see hair regrowth with specific therapies, and treatment should be tailored to the individual's situation.
research Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Pilot Study on the Use of Platelet-Rich Plasma in Women With Female Androgenetic Alopecia
PRP may help treat female hair loss, but more research needed.
research Microneedling plus topical dutasteride solution for androgenetic alopecia: a randomized placebo‐controlled study
Microneedling with topical dutasteride improves hair growth in men with hair loss and is safe to use.
research A Randomized Trial of Oral DHEA Treatment for Sexual Function, Well-Being, and Menopausal Symptoms in Postmenopausal Women with Low Libido
DHEA did not improve sexual function, well-being, or menopausal symptoms in postmenopausal women with low libido but caused side effects like acne and increased facial hair.
research Topical sodium valproate-loaded nanospanlastics versus conventional topical steroid therapy in alopecia areata: a randomized controlled study
Both treatments for alopecia areata showed similar modest effectiveness.
research A randomized blinded retrospective study: the combined use of micro-needling technique, low-level laser therapy and autologous non-activated platelet-rich plasma improves hair re-growth in patients with androgenic alopecia
Using micro-needling, low-level laser therapy, and platelet-rich plasma together significantly improves hair growth in people with hair loss.
research Sublingual tofacitinib for alopecia areata: a roll‐over pilot clinical trial and analysis of pharmacokinetics
The trial showed that a new under-the-tongue treatment for severe hair loss was somewhat effective in a small group of people.
research A randomized, single-blind trial of 5% minoxidil foam once daily versus 2% minoxidil solution twice daily in the treatment of androgenetic alopecia in women
5% minoxidil foam once daily works as well as 2% minoxidil solution twice daily for female hair growth and is more convenient.
research Pumpkin seed oil vs. minoxidil 5% topical foam for the treatment of female pattern hair loss: A randomized comparative trial
Pumpkin seed oil slightly outperforms minoxidil foam in treating hair loss with fewer side effects.
research Randomized trial of electrodynamic microneedling combined with 5% minoxidil topical solution for treating androgenetic alopecia in Chinese males and molecular mechanistic study of the involvement of the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway
Microneedling with 5% minoxidil improves hair loss in Chinese men by activating Wnt/ß-catenin pathway.
research Efficacy and Tolerability of Hairgain® in Individuals with Hair Loss: A Placebo-Controlled, Double-Blind Study
Hairgain® significantly increased hair growth and was well-tolerated by individuals with hair loss.
research Clinical Trials and Hair Loss
Many treatments for hair loss show potential, but more testing is needed to confirm their effectiveness. Only minoxidil for women and minoxidil and finasteride for men are FDA approved.
research Controversy on the role of iron and a clinical trial with intermittent iron and nutritional supplements in hair loss management
Intermittent iron and nutritional supplements can help reduce hair loss.
research Clinical comparison of extended-release divalproex versus delayed-release divalproex: pooled data analyses from nine trials
Extended-release divalproex is better tolerated and more effective for seizures and psychiatric symptoms than delayed-release divalproex, but doesn't reduce hair loss.
research A randomized, active- and placebo-controlled study of the efficacy and safety of different doses of dutasteride versus placebo and finasteride in the treatment of male subjects with androgenetic alopecia
Dutasteride 0.5 mg works better than finasteride and placebo for increasing hair in men with hair loss.
research Treatment of male pattern alopecia with platelet-rich plasma: A double-blind controlled study with analysis of platelet number and growth factor levels
Platelet-rich plasma treatment can significantly increase hair count and density in men with pattern baldness, and these improvements can last up to 3 months.
research Persistent sexual dysfunction and depression in finasteride users for male pattern hair loss: a serious concern or red herring?
Finasteride, a hair loss drug, may cause sexual dysfunction and depression, but these effects are usually temporary and the drug is generally safe. More research is needed.
research Evaluating the Efficacy of Adipose-Derived Stem Cells Exosome (ADSCE) in Treating Androgenetic Hair Loss: An Open-Label Clinical Trial
Adipose-derived stem cell exosomes are more effective and satisfying for treating hair loss than minoxidil.
research Platelet‐rich plasma injections in the treatment of male androgenetic alopecia: A randomized placebo‐controlled crossover study
