Abstract
Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) is a common form of hair loss in both men and women. In men, this condition is also known as male-pattern baldness. Fractional CO2 laser treatment has effectively induced hair regrowth through the wound-healing process. Platelet‐rich plasma (PRP) ensures local delivery of growth factors, modification of the inflammatory response, and stimulation of cell proliferation and differentiation within the target tissue. PRP therefore showed a beneficial effect in treatment of AGA.
Aim of the study: The aim of this study is to evaluate and compare the efficacy and safety of ablative carbon dioxide (CO2) fractional laser alone or combined with platelets rich plasma therapy in the treatment of Male Androgenetic Alopecia.
Patients and methods: The study included 35 patients suffering from AGA. All patients will receive bilateral ablative fractional CO2 laser treatment on the alopecic scalp and the right or left side of the scalp will be randomly selected to be covered with platelet-rich plasma and the other half of the scalp will be covered with saline after the laser at the same session.
Results: Combined ablative fractional CO2 laser treatment and platelet-rich plasma showed statistically significant improvement compared to ablative fractional CO2 laser alone.
