Botox and PRP: a surprising new hope for hair loss?
NCT ID NCT07335367
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Sep 10, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study is testing whether combining platelet-rich plasma (PRP) with Botox injections works better than PRP alone for treating androgenetic alopecia (common pattern baldness). About 76 adults aged 18 to 60 with mild to moderate hair loss will receive either the combo treatment or PRP only, once a month for three months. Researchers will track changes in hair density and safety over six months.
