Summary
This study tested whether injecting platelet-rich plasma (PRP) into the scalp, along with using minoxidil lotion, can improve hair growth in people with moderate to severe androgenetic alopecia (common baldness). Thirty participants were split into two groups: one received PRP injections plus minoxidil, the other minoxidil alone. Researchers measured hair amount and follicle density using a dermoscope and MRI.
