Efficacy of Platelet-Rich Plasma versus Mesotherapy with Recombinant Growth Factors and Stem Cell-Conditioned Media in Androgenetic Alopecia: A Retrospective Study.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) is the most common type of hair loss. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and mesotherapy (MZT) injections of various solutions fortified with growth factors are popular treatment options for AGA. The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy of RPP and MZT products in the treatment of AGA.

Methods

This retrospective study included 72 AGA patients treated with two PRP formulations and two MZT products, administered manually or with a gun injector. Hair parameters (hair thickness, hair density, and hair count) on frontal and vertex areas were measured before and after 6 months.

Results

Over 6 months, trichoscopic parameters showed significant intragroup and intergroup variability. MZT1 and PRP2 groups exhibited statistically signific
