Microneedling with either platelet-rich plasma or 5% minoxidil can increase hair growth in people with androgenetic alopecia, but minoxidil might be slightly better.
research The unit area trichogram in the assessment of androgen-dependent alopecia
The unit area trichogram is a reliable method to assess hair loss and treatment response in people with androgenic alopecia by measuring hair density and thickness.
research A randomized double-blind placebo-controlled pilot study to assess the efficacy of a 24-week topical treatment by latanoprost 0.1% on hair growth and pigmentation in healthy volunteers with androgenetic alopecia
