Why it matters

Female pattern hair loss is common and distressing, yet comparative data on autologous platelet therapies are scarce. This trial provides head-to-head evidence that i-PRF and CGF may offer superior hair regrowth to standard PRP, helping clinicians select the most effective option and counsel patients on expected outcomes and safety.
