研究概览
简要总结
Androgenic alopecia (AGA), is a common form of hair loss worldwide affecting both men and women, leading to significant psychosocial impacts. Topical minoxidil and oral finasteride are the only FDA-approved drugs for the treatment. With limited available drugs and their reported side effects, newer treatment modalities such as Platelet rich plasma (PRP), growth factor concentrate (GFC) and threads are being tried. This study aims to evaluate and compare the efficacy of GFC and PRP injections as an adjunct therapy to topical minoxidil in AGA patients.
