Evaluation Of The Level Of Satisfaction In Patients With Androgenic Alopecia After Combined Therapy With Minoxidil And Platelet-Rich Plasma

Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) is the most common cause of hair loss in men and women. Conventional treatments include topical or oral minoxidil and oral finasteride, while new options such as laser, microneedling and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) are under study. Combination therapies have been explored to evaluate their synergistic effect, with PRP standing out for its promising results and high acceptance. This descriptive cross-sectional study evaluated the satisfaction of twenty patients (16 women, 4 men) after six sessions of PRP mesotherapy and nocturnal application of minoxidil 5%. A four-item survey on hair growth, reduction of hairless areas, satisfaction and effectiveness was used.

Abstract

Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) is the most common cause of hair loss in men and women. Conventional treatments include topical or oral minoxidil and oral finasteride, while new options such as laser, microneedling and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) are under study. Combination therapies have been explored to evaluate their synergistic effect, with PRP standing out for its promising results and high acceptance. This descriptive cross-sectional study evaluated the satisfaction of twenty patients (16 women, 4 men) after six sessions of PRP mesotherapy and nocturnal application of minoxidil 5%. A four-item survey on hair growth, reduction of hairless areas, satisfaction and effectiveness was used.
