Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study investigated the efficacy of adipose derived stem cell conditioned media (ADSC-CM) combined with minoxidil for hair regeneration therapy in male AGA.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This study was a double-blind, randomized clinical trial (RCT). Two concentrations of ADSC-CM were utilized: concentrated and non-concentrated ADSC-CM. The scalp was divided vertically in half; one side was injected with 2 ml of ADSC-CM, while the control side received 2 ml of NaCl 0,9%. After the injection, patients applied topical 5% minoxidil twice daily. Clinical improvements were assessed using photographic evaluation and trichoscan every two weeks.
