The article deals with the use of platelet-rich plasma in the treatment of androgenetic alopecia: effectiveness, problems and prospects. Androgenetic Alopecia (AGA) is one of the most common types of non-scarring hair loss. Baldness affects the psycho-emotional state of a person, which significantly reduces the quality of life. An opinion deviating from generally accepted standards exists that with a normal level of androgens in the blood, AGA in men is a normal biological phenomenon, and not a disease. Regardless of how their condition is classified, people with AGA perceive it as a deviation from the norm, unacceptable from a psychosocial point of view, and turn to a doctor for treatment.

Congenital melanocytic nevi with a diameter of at least 10 cm or covering 1% body surface area on the face/head/neck or 2% on rest of the body at any age, and by an extetension those least 6 cm on the trunk and 9 cm on the head in a neonate are known as giant congenital melanocytic nevus (GMNC). Although, a rare entity they may pose possible risk of malignancy and neurocutaneous melanosis, apart from cosmetic concerns. The psychosocial distress posed by them has also been studied extensively by many authors. On histopathological analysis epitheloid lymphocytoid and neuroid nevus cells can be visualized. Owing to such myrid presentations the management option for GCMN has to be tailored to every patient. There is a common consensus that prophylactic removal of a GCMN has little to no advantage. The partial debulking of a GCMN can be done by mechanical or chemical exfoliation, currete, shave excision or laser therapy. However, in view of potential risk of malignancy total or subtotal deep excision followed by plastic reconstruction must be considered, especially in cases involving the head and neck area.

Objective: Topical application of minoxidil has been adopted as an effective treatment for male and female pattern hair loss. While higher concentration formulas exhibit better efficacy, dissolving and stabilizing minoxidil is technically challenging. L-(+)-Tartaric Acid (LTA) is a colorless crystalline dicarboxylic acid found in plants and has been used as an additive in various hair care products to stabilize the biological functions of active ingredients. LTA has been added to minoxidil to maintain the quality of over-the-counter formula. To date, the influence of LTA on human Hair Follicle (HF) cells has not been sufficiently investigated. As the Dermal Papilla (DP) plays pivotal roles in the regulation of HF regeneration and the hair cycle, we aimed to elucidate the effects of LTA on human Dermal Papilla cells (hDPCs). Methods: hDPCs were first subject to cytotoxicity and alkaline phosphatase assay after treated LTA. Microarray comparison analysis was performed to elucidate LTA effects on global gene expression on LTA-treated and non-treated hDPCs. Subsequent real-time polymerase chain reaction analysis using multiple donor-derived hDPCs was done to further confirm LTA-induced hair growth genes up-regulation. Results: LTA exhibited no influence on hDPCs in a cytotoxicity assay. The activity of a representative hDPC marker enzyme, alkaline phosphatase, was not impaired by LTA in cultured hDPCs. Microarray comparison analysis of LTA-treated and non-treated hDPCs elucidated that LTA minimally affected the molecular signature of hDPCs but, intriguingly, up-regulated some hair growth-related genes. Subsequent real-time polymerase chain reaction analysis using multiple donor-derived hDPCs confirmed that LTA indeed increased the gene expression of activin A receptor type 2A (ACVR2A) and Insulin-like Growth Factor Binding Protein 5 (IGFBP5), while down-regulation of hair growth-related genes by LTA was inconsistent among hDPCs derived from respective donors. Conclusion: These results suggest that LTA minimally affects but potentially supports the biological characteristics of hDPCs. LTA may represent a useful additive to generate efficacious, high concentration formula of active reagents, represented by minoxidil.

The skin sensitive syndrome is a widespread condition with an impact on the quality of life of the affected subjects. Cosmetics may be formulated specifically for sensitive skin conditions, alleviating the relative symptoms. The present study aimed at evaluating the efficacy of a natural extract containing polysaccharides from Opuntia ficus-indica (cladodes extract), biophenols from Olea Europaea (olive leaves extract) and flavonoids from Capparis spinosa (caper fruit) on skin discomfort induced by different stressors such as skin redness and skin barrier function alteration by shaving/ epilation; neurogenic mediated by capsaicin; and skin redness induced by UV exposure. Three randomized double-blind, controlled studies were carried out on 20 Caucasian subjects. Product efficacy was measured by means of both instrumental measures (redness and transepidermal water loss, TEWL) and by subjective scoring of the functional signs (itching/stinging and burning sensations) induced by each stressor. The active ingredient showed to decrease: the skin redness and the TEWL after shaving/epilation, the capsaicin-induced skin discomforts and the UV-induced skin redness. Our results demonstrate the ingredient efficacy in decreasing the skin discomforts induced by physical, chemical and environmental agents. The soothing and protective activities besides this cosmetic ingredient might be used in formulations for sensitive skin condition management.

Androgenetic Alopecia (AGA) is a progressive hair loss type affecting up to 80% of men and 50% of women. The putative mechanisms in the pathogenesis of AGA include microinflammation, premature cell senescence, oxidative stress, follicle vascular changes and altered sensitivity of hair follicles to androgens. A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial was carried out on 86 male subjects with AGA from II to III vertex (Hamilton-Norwood). Product efficacy was measured after 3, 6 months of product intake and 1-month post-supplementation. The hair cycle parameters measurement by phototricogram were integrated by the global photography assessment and the self-assessment questionnaire. The results showed an increase of the total hair density and the % of hair in anagen phase with a simultaneous decrease in the % of hair in telogen phase; as consequence the anagen/telogen ratio was improved of about 45.7% and 85.8% at 3 and 6 mo, respectively. The instrumental data were confirmed by the clinical analysis carried out by a board-certified dermatologist and by the self-assessment questionnaire. The obtained improvements were also maintained 1-month post-supplementation. The intake of 250 mg of ActrisaveTM improved the hair life cycle increasing hair growth, density and slowing down hair loss in men with mild-to-moderate androgenetic alopecia.

Androgenetic alopecia is a common type of hair loss that affects both men and women. It is a genetically determined condition that is characterized by a gradual and progressive thinning of the hair on the scalp, eventually leading to baldness in some cases. The condition is caused by a combination of genetic and hormonal factors, with dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a male hormone, playing a key role in its development. DHT can cause hair follicles to shrink, which results in shorter and thinner hair strands over time. Androgenetic alopecia is typically diagnosed based on the pattern of hair loss and the presence of other symptoms, such as itching or scaling of the scalp. Treatment options for androgenetic alopecia include medications, such as minoxidil and finasteride, which can help slow down or even reverse hair loss in some cases. In more severe cases, hair transplantation surgery may be necessary to restore hair growth. While androgenetic alopecia can be distressing, it is important to remember that it is a common condition and there are many effective treatments available to help manage it.

Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) has become a cornerstone in hair transplantation due to its minimally invasive nature and precision. However, challenges related to donor area regeneration and long-term graft survival continue to impact patient outcomes. This paper introduces a novel approach that involves the partial transection of dermal papilla stem cells during FUE extraction, which has the potential to foster donor site regeneration. Furthermore, we detail Evolved Hair Restoration’s combined use of Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) and Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) to enhance both graft survival and regeneration in donor and recipient areas. Our findings, based on a 12-month clinical study, demonstrate the feasibility and effectiveness of this technique in optimizing both donor area regrowth and graft survival.
