research Efficacy of intradermal minoxidil 5% injections for treatment of patchy non-severe alopecia areata
Minoxidil injections can speed up hair regrowth in non-severe patchy hair loss, but combining it with steroids doesn't improve results.
research Systematic review of the evidence for medical skin needling in aesthetic practice
Skin needling is a safe, effective, and affordable treatment for various skin issues and enhances other aesthetic procedures.
research Scalp threading with polydioxanone monofilament threads: a novel, effective and safe modality for hair restoration
Scalp threading with polydioxanone threads is a promising, effective, and safe method for hair regrowth.
research A clinical study on alopecia areata
Intralesional corticosteroids are the best for limited alopecia areata, oral steroids are less effective, and PRP is safe and promising, especially for children and severe cases.
research Comparative study of the efficacy of finasteride 1 mg/d on different age groups with androgenetic alopecia using phototrichogram analysis. A single-center retrospective analysis
Finasteride 1 mg/day effectively treats hair loss in men aged 18-41 and over 41; DEET lotion works better than herbal insect repellents; combined tattoo removal technique shows no extra benefits.
research Post-Treatment of Micro-Needling with a Dexpanthenol-Containing Ointment Accelerates Epidermal Wound Healing in Human 3D Skin Models
Using a dexpanthenol ointment after micro-needling speeds up skin healing without affecting benefits.
research Response to microneedling treatment in men with androgenetic alopecia who failed to respond to conventional therapy
Microneedling can effectively promote new hair growth in men with hair loss who didn't improve with traditional treatments.
research Response to Pavlović ’s “Response to Li et al.’s ‘Therapeutic efficacy of platelet-rich plasma combining with microneedling and topical minoxidil in refractory severe androgenic alopecia’”
Combining PRP with microneedling and minoxidil may help treat severe hair loss.
research A study on the efficacy of microneedling with minoxidil solution versus microneedling with hair multivitamin solution for the treatment of androgenetic alopecia
Microneedling with minoxidil is more effective for hair growth than with multivitamins.
research Dermoscopic assessment of microneedling alone versus microneedling with platelet-rich plasma in cases of male pattern alopecia: A split-head comparative study
Microneedling alone is as effective as microneedling with platelet-rich plasma for male pattern baldness.
research COMPARISON OF THERAPEUTIC EFFICACY OF MICRONEEDLING WITH PLATELET-RICH PLASMA PLUS 5% MINOXIDIL AND 5% MINOXIDIL ALONE IN ANDROGENETIC ALOPECIA
The combination of microneedling, PRP, and minoxidil is more effective for hair loss than minoxidil alone.
research Microneedling for Cutaneous Manifestations of Autoimmune Disease: A Scoping Review
Microneedling may help treat some autoimmune skin conditions, but more research is needed.
research Microneedling for androgenetic alopecia not responding to conventional treatment
Microneedling can improve hair growth in people not responding to standard treatments.
research Recent Advances in Microneedling-Assisted Cosmetic Applications
Microneedling improves skin and hair conditions by enhancing treatment absorption and stimulating growth factors.
research A comparative study of microneedling with platelet-rich plasma plus topical minoxidil (5%) and topical minoxidil (5%) alone in androgenetic alopecia
Microneedling with platelet-rich plasma and minoxidil improves hair growth more than just minoxidil in men with hair loss.
research Phase I Clinical Trial: Evaluating the Efficacy, Safety, and Patient Satisfaction of Platelet‐Rich Plasma (PRP) Injections and Microneedling for Androgenetic Alopecia Treatment
PRP and microneedling both effectively improve hair growth and thickness for treating hair loss.
research The use of microneedling associated to photobiomodulation in the treatment of male androgenetic alopecia: Case series
Combining microneedling with light therapy increased hair density by 26% in men.
research A Comprehensive Review of Microneedling as a Potential Treatment Option for Androgenetic Alopecia
research Solid microneedle booster as an enhanced microneedling platform for the treatment of androgenetic alopecia
The study presents a solid microneedle booster (SMB) as an advanced microneedling platform for treating androgenetic alopecia (AGA). The SMB integrates spring-driven perpendicular stamping with simultaneous liquid dosing, improving microchannel reproducibility and early transport. Tests on porcine skin revealed that SMB achieved greater microchannel surface coverage and deeper penetration than a roller. It also enhanced early-phase permeation, accelerating hair regrowth when combined with minoxidil (MXD) in vivo. Histological analysis showed increased follicle enrichment in the SMB + MXD group. SMB provides a one-step, directionality-controlled microneedling method that enhances early transport and promotes follicular maturation, with potential for broader dermatologic applications.
research Was It Gold What Shone? Platelet-Rich Plasma Applications, Outcomes and Security Considerations
Platelet-rich plasma therapy may have benefits and is generally safe, but more research is needed to confirm its effectiveness and safety.
research Physical Treatments and Therapies for Androgenetic Alopecia
