research Histopathological Evidence of Occipital Involvement in Male Androgenetic Alopecia
Advanced male pattern baldness affects the back of the scalp, reducing hair follicles.
research Objective evaluation of photoepilation by phototrichogram
Photoepilation significantly reduces hair, and phototrichograms can objectively measure its effectiveness.
research Evaluation of the Cosmetic Efficacy of Salmon Tissue-Derived Exosomes and Plasmatherapy in Patients with Androgenetic Alopecia: A Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial
This study evaluated the cosmetic efficacy of salmon tissue-derived exosomes compared to platelet-rich plasma (PRP) in treating androgenetic alopecia in 40 participants. The exosome group showed significantly greater improvements in hair density, terminal/vellus hair ratio, anagen proportion, and mean hair diameter compared to the PRP group. Specifically, hair density increased by 44.4 hairs/cm² in the exosome group versus 26.3 hairs/cm² in the PRP group, and the terminal/vellus ratio rose more significantly in the exosome group. Additionally, the exosome treatment resulted in fewer transient local reactions. These findings suggest that exosomes may have a deeper impact on hair growth mechanisms, offering a more effective treatment option for androgenetic alopecia.

research Microneedle Frequency Adjunct to 2% Minoxidil in Female androgenetic alopecia: A Randomized Controlled Trial
This study investigated the efficacy of combining microneedling with 2% topical minoxidil in treating female androgenetic alopecia (AGA) over 24 weeks. Involving 245 women, the trial compared minoxidil alone, minoxidil with monthly microneedling, and minoxidil with bi-weekly microneedling. Results showed significant increases in target area non-vellus hair count (TAHC) across all groups, but no significant differences between them. Secondary outcomes, such as hair shaft diameter and hair density, were also similar across groups. The study concluded that adding microneedling did not enhance the clinical benefits of minoxidil alone. Limitations included its single-center, open-label design and lack of patient-reported outcomes.
