“…[7,8,9] Minoxidil appears to prolong anagen phase and to promote survival of dermal papilla cells and increase in hair follicle size. [10,11] Oral finasteride also induces the prolongation of anagen hairs, which results in gradual thickening and elongation of the hairs. [12] PRP, an autologous concentration of human platelets in a small volume of plasma has a higher platelet concentration (4-7 times) above the baseline.…”

AIMTo compare the efficacy of platelet rich plasma versus minoxidil (5%-10%) in the treatment of androgenetic alopecia in males. MATERIAL AND METHODSTwo hundred and twenty male patients of age group 20-50 year, clinically diagnosed as androgenetic alopecia of grade II to VII (Norwood-Hamilton Classification) were included in the study and randomly divided in two groups. First group was treated by platelet rich plasma and second group was treated by Minoxidil. Response was assessed till 6 months followed by every 15 days visit, on the basis of investigator assessment and photographic assessment. STATISTICAL METHODSFisher test and Chi-square test. RESULTSGood response was seen in 76% cases with the platelet rich plasma and 48% with minoxidil.

“…Although the loss of hair is not a life-threatening condition, the loss of hair at an early age or sudden onset hair loss may cause serious psychological distress, thus it may directly affect the quality of life negatively [1,3]. For this reason, patients with suffering from hair loss should be considered finically in order Similarly, using of CAM is quite often among patients suffering from dermatologic disorders such as acne, atopic dermatitis, psoriasis, dermatophytes, actinic keratosis, vitiligo, hair loss, cosmetic indications, melanoma, and lupus erythematosus [20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27].…”

In recent years, people have begun to give further emphasis to the external beauty, especially for their hair. Except drugs with proven effectiveness, complementary and alternative treatment options that have not yet been clarified of their effectiveness and side effect profiles have been used for centuries. Many plants or their extracts are widely used to prevent hair loss and treat alopecia (e.g., androgenetic alopecia, alopecia areata, or traction alopecia) worldwide, especially in Far Eastern countries. The mechanisms of action of these plants are still unknown. Although there are little randomized-controlled studies investigating the effectiveness in the treatment of hair loss, reported results have demonstrated that complementary and alternative medicine will become much more popular in the near future.

“…1 To do so, along with oral medications of finasteride or dutasteride, topical agents of minoxidil and alfatradiol, and hair transplantation, injections of tissue activators, anti-oxidants, and autologous platelet-rich plasma concentrations have also been used to treat PHL. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7] Commonly used tissue activators and anti-oxidants in PHL patients include polydeoxyribonucleotide (PDRN), placental extracts, zinc sulfate, biotin, and nicotinamide. 6,7 Laser/light-based devices have also been utilized as additional or alternative treatment modalities for treating PHL, alopecia areata, and scarring alopecia.…”

Background and ObjectivesIntra-perifollicular polydeoxyribonucleotide (PDRN) injections result in clinical improvements in hair thickness and density in patients with pattern hair loss (PHL). The objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of combined treatment with a 1,927-nm fractionated thulium laser and PDRN injections for treatment of PHL. Materials and MethodsWe compared clinical outcomes in eight PHL patients treated with 12 sessions of combined treatment with thulium laser and PDRN injections to those in another eight PHL patients treated with 12 sessions of mesotherapy and PDRN injections. ResultsOne week after the final treatment session, patients treated with the thulium laser and PDRN showed clinical improvements in mean hair counts (20.4 ± 15.7%; p=0.005) and mean hair thickness (53.1 ± 31.1%; p <0.001), compared to baseline values. Patients treated with mesotherapy and PDRN also showed clinical improvements in mean hair counts (9.7 ± 7.4%; p=0.007) and mean hair thickness (16.1 ± 25%; p>0.05). Further statistical analysis showed that combined treatment with the thulium laser and PDRN injections resulted in greater improvement in hair thickness (p=0.029) than combined application of mesotherapy and PDRN, but not in hair counts (p>0.05). ConclusionUse of thulium laser energy in combination with PDRN injections for treatment of PHL results in remarkable improvements in hair thickness and density.
