July 2026 in “Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology” This six-month retrospective study compared the efficacy of a Combined Regenerative Technique (CRT) with oral minoxidil (OM) alone in treating androgenetic alopecia (AGA). The CRT involved transdermal delivery of minoxidil sulfate, dutasteride, copper peptides, and autologous platelet-rich plasma, combined with daily OM and topical finasteride. The study included 9 control participants and 21-22 in the intervention group. Results showed that CRT significantly improved terminal hair thickness and density across the frontal, mid-scalp, and vertex regions compared to OM alone. Median gains in hair thickness and density were notably higher in the CRT group, with statistical significance in all measured regions. These findings suggest that CRT may be a more effective treatment for AGA than OM alone, warranting further research to confirm its efficacy and long-term benefits.
