Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Anagen hair rate. Timepoint: Before treatment, after 3 and 6 months of treatment. Method of measurement: Measuring the anagen hair rate in an area equal to 1.8 square centimeters in the center of the parietal of the scalp, while imaging the specific area and using the Trichoscan software.;Hair count. Timepoint: Before treatment, after 3 and 6 months of treatment. Method of measurement: Measuring the hair count in an area equal to 1.8 square centimeters in the center of the parietal of the scalp, while imaging the specific area and using the Trichoscan software.;Hair density. Timepoint: Before treatment, after 3 and 6 months of treatment. Method of measurement: Measuring the hair density in an area equal to 1.8 square centimeters in the center of the parietal of the scalp, while imaging the specific area and using the Trichoscan software.;Cumulative hair shaft diameter. Timepoint: Before treatment, after 3 and 6 months of treatment. Method of measurement: Measuring the cumulative hair shaft diameter in an area equal to 1.8 square centimeters in the center of the parietal of the scalp, while imaging the specific area and using the Trichoscan software. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Participant's satisfaction with treatment. Timepoint: Before treatment, after 3 and 6 months of treatment.
